Review on DEWALT Taping 14 Inches Handles DXTT 3 161 by Aaron Cruz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much better than spatula

Very good quality. And in combination with other things that is also a good price. The shiny metal pan takes the scratching and scraping of drywall knives well, and while it does scratch (as you'd expect), there's no rust in the scratches. It's incredibly sharp and straight on the edges, cleaning the knives in a pass or two. It's easy to clean, I just scrape it off with a plastic spatula while underwater in the sink, then wipe it down with disposable paper towels, letting the water do most of the work. The knives themselves are the perfect combination of sizes for gluing, second layers and finishing. I've had good results, but I think someone better at this can get better results as it minimizes the grinding required. This definitely means I have to do less sanding than usual. And forget about using a spatula, if you do it like me it's a lot more efficient. Flexibility at its finest. As a reminder, after a thorough cleaning, remember to dry them with paper towels every time you use them - this doesn't look like a little tape cutter or plastic cutter, and that's to be expected. Excellent value for money with combo kit.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Very expensive
