I do not recommend this product.

I do not recommend this product. I've only used it a couple of times and the coding on the blade fell off in pieces so it wasn't smooth anymore. I received a refund.

Pros
  • Couplers and Parts
Cons
  • Price that beats the piggy bank

Do not clean with vinegar

Worked well initially. Rust has developed. I soaked it in vinegar for 2-3 days to remove the rust. After that, it became so flexible that it could no longer be used to apply drywall clay.

Pros
  • Replacement parts
Cons
  • Good but not great

Nice and strong, the best of the couplers and parts

Good strong knife for gluing. If I got it again I'd go for one with a metal cap to knock down the pops easily, but this works great. If only _I_ did, but at least I have a good tool so I can't blame Him anymore!

Pros
  • Alignment tools
Cons
  • Hard to tell

The best ratio of price and quality!

Top quality, take care of yourself, always clean it well after each use and will last a long time. I used the old model from the 1970's with wooden handles and didn't think there was anything better, ha they are like that and feel good in the hand. Thanks to the USA manufacturer and Revain for the excellent quality and service!

Pros
  • Gears and gears
Cons
  • I can't remember but there was something

Great Band Knife Fits Spare Parts

I am a retiree working from home who does all of the work myself as I have plenty of time and have learned many repair skills over the years. I don't actually do drywall and tape very often, but I just remodeled my master bathroom and needed new tape cutters. Knife sheaths can be expensive, but I was looking for something similar at a reasonable price. This knife had a lot of good reviews and the price was right. I used it for taping my bathroom and it was easy to use. Masking drywall is…

Pros
  • Automotive
