Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It is pretty flexible and it can press well on the wall to spread the joint compound pretty evenly and flat. Not a flimsy tool at all. The chisel only flexes a little and is very sturdy and has a very comfortable grip!

Quality

Seems sturdy and well built out of quality materials

Price

Overall this is a very useful tool to have around when youre painting and its not expensive so 5 stars from me

A total steal at under 7 bucks

534 rollers wrong curvature but this tool wasnt designed for that anyway and you can find other roller cleaners that do that el... Read More
