14" Stainless Steel Drywall Masonry Tool Tray Bucket - LEVEL5 Pro-Grade Mud Pan With Ergonomic Contoured Base 5-334 Review

Looks great but item came with small corner bend with broken weld. Unable to return as I need this for job in the morning. You would think that they would ship thin gauge stainless in something other then a plastic bag but I guess it saves shipping cost.

Fully welded ends stainless steel tray. The long corners in the bottom are bent and not welded so the mud doesnt build up as you work

Great mud pan, perfect size for taping and patching.Pros:- great for hand-mixing mud;- easy to clean;- does not rustCons:- seams could be a bit cleaner

Nice rounded edges and the welds are first rate. I bought a pan at a local hardware store and it leaked water all over the floor. Not this one!

Nice pan. The bottom long edges are rounded instead of sharp corners which makes it both more comfortable to hold and easier to get mud on the knife. The fancy advertised "heliarc" welds are ok, but they could be a lot better. The weld is discolored and uneven along the seams, but otherwise it's a good buy.

This is a professional mud pan! Mud can barely even get in the corners, so super easy to clean! Had what it thought was a mixup on the product. Pans are measured from the bottom. not the top. so a 14" is almost 16" at the top. I'm sure y'all know that, but all i had were plastic ones. I reached out to Level 5 and literally, 5 minutes later, they offered many solutions! Incredible, Incredible service and support! I will ALWAYS buy their tools!

The item came damaged with no damage to box which means quality control was lacking. Irritating because time is money and having to wait for a new one, I loose time on job. Should really look at items before they are put in box.

The welds at the corners do show just a tad of rust after cleaning and setting, but this is a very good product compared to all others that have rusted and discolored my joint compound and plaster. Only weak plastic can compare. I learned my lesson of buying cheaper (ultimately more expensive) products and I have purchased from several big box home improvement companies too. I'll look for Level 5 products from now on.

This mud pan is a great tool for anyone who plans on doing some drywall work, personal or professional. This does not rust like the cheaper ones you can readily purchase at big box stores in your neighborhood. Worth the money, no doubt!

This mud pan worked well and was slightly wider than 14" to accommodate a 14" knife. Give it a good rinsing with water when you're done, flip it over and let it air dry. My pan had no leaks and felt solid.

It's pretty much what you would expect from a good quality pan, edges designed to be easy to clean, and durable, won't bend or dent from most falls. Good stuff👍

Great Design I notice slightly less arm fatigue. Well crafted; no holes defects. Soldered corners so it’s smooth and easy to clean. Absolutely stellar mud pan. Super easy to clean.

Obviously easier to clean than square corner pans but when the mud gets a little stiff my sponge sometimes won't work. I have to find the right brush to clean the corners.

I’ve been using a plastic pan w/ metal edges. I was not able to keep crumbs from forming while working. With the plastic clean up was time consuming. The SS Pan is the way to go. I’m a DIYer. I’m drywalling a 600 sq ft room with 12, 3’x 5’ skylights. Beside the bathroom, the skylights have 48 inside corners and 96 outside edges. I needed to up my game over the plastic pan. The SS pan helps with inside corner taping. I have also purchased a Drywall Hawk and some 6,12 and 14” knives. These pro…

This is a lifetime buy for me. Probably not good to fill this up with too much mud. As it can get heavy.. It’s so nice looking, I’ve even considered making a decoration display out of it.

Would buy again, very well made. Perfect for getting the job done.Edit***** I have now hasd it for almost a year. This thing is great. No rust, no issues what so ever. It has some scrathes but thats expected. It cleans up easy and fit really well in my hand. I would tell you stop lookimg and buy!

Absolutely beautiful pan, seamless corners, cove inside bottom corners. Hands down the best everyday pan on the market. Paired with their knifes and you simply can’t compare.

Had bought a similar style mud pan from a big box store which was junk. It was a folded piece of metal where the corners of the pan leaked because it was only folded over metal and not sealed.This pan's ends are welded on and smooth. No leaks and really well put together. I highly recommend it.
