Free Up Time & Save Money With Automatic Tools 

Free Up Time & Save Money With Automatic Tools

It has to be said we’ve heard plenty of arguments for and against the use of automatic tools when finishing drywall.

While many traditional drywall experts value the tremendous skill involved in working by hand and the great results that it can achieve, others rave about the fantastic benefits of being able to free up time and save money with automatic tools.

In a similar way, arguments can be made for and against renting these kind of tools, as opposed to buying them. But, when all is said and done, the decision comes down to individual choice and the priorities involved with the work.

If time isn’t on your side, you may go for the automatic tool, after all, the more man hours you can save on a job, the greater profit margin that can be achieved, while you still get consistent, high quality results.

It’s also useful if your team isn’t skilled in drywall finishing and doesn’t have years of experience behind them. By using automatic tools, you can be assured that the right amount of compound will be used on each joint, at the right width and with a proper crown, for example. Every joint will look the same and you will make a big saving on man hours in the process.

However, a veteran drywall finisher, who has that special, highly skilled touch and more time to complete a job using tools, tape and compound, might value the time to focus on the finer details and create a completely flawless finish this way.

Better to buy or rent automatic tools?

Large companies employing a workforce who shares tools may choose to rent rather than buy, because the tools can be easily changed for clean and fully calibrated ones. Hundreds of hours of worktime can be lost through having to fix broken tools and go over the poor work that a defective tool has left behind, so, by renting one, there’s no down time on the job, while you get the tool repaired, serviced or parts replaced.

On the other hand, someone working individually might relish the chance to use their own tools and because they’re their own, they would be more likely to take better care in maintaining them and make better use of their time through having a fully functioning, clean tool.

The skill and proficiency of a drywall finisher also has a big part to play in the finished result, whatever form of finishing method you employ. So, it’s also fair to say that someone who is skilled at finishing drywall by hand will also become very skilled at using automatic taping tools, in which case, you have a win-win situation. However, many skilled hand finishers are cautious about making the change because they fear that it will diminish the need for skilled workers.

Benefits of automatic tools

So to round up, the biggest benefits of automatic tools are the savings on time and, as a result, money, but there are also many more. See below:
