Customer Reviews for VEVOR Skimming Blade,40 inch Smoothing Knife, European Stainless Steel Construction Knife, Aluminum Blade Profile Smoothing Knockdown Spatula for Gyprock/Drywall/Wall-Board

This skimming blade is nicely made and works as it should. So paying so much more for other brands is really a bad idea. Thank you Vevor

I used this to skim coat walls it was the first time I used a blade this large it definitely covers a large area the only issues I had with the blade were its weight and the sharp corners on the lead edge of the blade I did gouge the wall a few times I can fill those later I am debating whether to file the corners smooth or not I don’t want leave trails of mud to have to sand down later gouges are probably easier otherwise it is a time saver

I can't say if the product is good or bad, I never received it ... I paid but I didn't even know the product

Finally, I can get perfection flat walls. Construction is hard for us perfectionists. This blade makes it so easy even non-perfectionists can do it!

Great quality, probably better construction that another that I bought in Homedepot. I really Recomend it.

For drywall seams that are large like double this is the right tool. Wish I had it sooner.

This blade is awesome. I only did 4 stars for ease of use and sturdiness simply because I dropped it and had to tap the blade back into its proper placement in the screw slots (though it had no negative effect on function)and 4 stars on ease of use just because it is not magic ,lol, you do need to know how to skim mud at least a little. It really is a nice tool and worked perfect for my project. So much so that I am looking to get smaller ones to possibly replace some of my larger knives. If you are a beginner, I would say don't go over 24" to start. Using it on the wall is fairly straight forward, but cleaning the mud off as you go takes a little practice. Also, there are plastic caps on the ends to finish the ends of the handle"tube". One fell off right away and I planned to glue it on. Then had an epiphany and took the other one off, ran a file around to smooth the edge a bit and now when you wash it the water doesn't get trapped inside , it flows right out! This tool is stainless and aluminum so washing it is ok. In the old days drywallers rarely washed their knives as the carbon steel would rust almost instantly.

First time I ever used one of these tools, really came in skimming the walls and spreading the compound to smooth finish. Plan on buying the intire kit.

Very easy to use if you’re doing a big area of course

Good
