LEVEL5 24-Inch Skimming Blade | Precision 0.3mm German stainless steel blade insert (replaceable), ergonomic aluminum blade profile | 4-924

I am a 60-year-old, fat grandma...but I have a thing for fixer uppers. I just bought a house with the horrible popcorn ceilings, so I have been scraping and scraping and scraping. I was dreading the skim coat because whenever I have attempted anything with drywall in the past, it always ends up being a horrible mess. I was not confident in my drywalling skills, to say the least. I watched some videos about this thing. I asked a couple of friends who are contractors, they had never heard of a skimming blade. I was a bit skeptical, but what do I have to lose, right? I know if I touch mud, it will end up a huge mess, so I may as well try this "miracle worker". I was not disappointed! This thing makes skim coating a breeze. I used a paint roller to put the mud on. I found if I used a knife to apply the mud, I ended up flinging it all over. I rolled the mud on, then used a knife to apply to the edges. I then ran this blade across it and I swear it created a perfect finish! I was literally astounded! I finished one room today and I have a lot to go. I am now confident that I can finish my ceilings myself because of this amazing tool. I actually have nothing bad to say about it. I got the 16". I am 5'2" and this worked just fine. I think a longer length would have become to cumbersome for my short arms. I do not see a need to buy an entire kit of different sizes. I just don't see how all those sizes would be worth the extra money. I have not tried it on a pole. I think I would need more practice before that. I just climbed up and down the ladder, working my way around the room. This is a completely AWESOME tool! Buy one! You will not regret it!

Skimming Blade manufactured by Level 5 - Top quality in materials and craftsmanship. I have tried other brands this one is the best!!! It is very intuitive when you use it, it is perfectly balanced and can be mastered in a short period of time by anyone. It was delivered quickly and at a good price. In the event you drop it and the durable blade is damaged a replacement blade slides in within seconds.

Made so much of a difference! Happy I purchased. Tried to skim a wall a few months ago without this and didn’t go well. This device truly helps to smooth the wall. I bought the 32inch and it was the perfect size for me.

Works great but takes some trial and error to get the technique correctly. Works great for applying skim coats to wall and ceiling. It is a bit pricey but solid construction.

I purchased this product a long time ago, it didn't see much use at first but now that I'm comfortable/experienced with it, I love it! As a homeowner living in a fixer-upper built in the early 70's it will see heavy use in the future though! Love, love, LOVE!!! my Level5 products! Well worth the investment!

Got this for some flat wall renovations around the house. Absolute game changer. Can get professional results without the years of experience.

This tool is a godsend. Works great skimming walls. Ceilings are a bit tougher. Make sure you keep the plastic guard on the blade while not in use. I'd buy this again.

- Terrific Product - Excellent Customer Service - They were very knowledgable and made great suggestions for sizing and use cases - Very High Quality - Worth The Investment I used this in conjunction with a DeWalt 3 Axis laser here https://amzn.to/4njOePc to skim out a wall that was way out of plumb to taper it into a perfectly plumb tiled wall. Worked perfect. 40" is very big for 1 person. Level 5 did tell me this is more of a two person tool. 32" and under would be suitable for 1 person to skim.
