Top 10 timsesaving plastering tools

When it comes to plastering, it can be a tough old process at times, especially if you’re looking to get your work up to a very high standard, because you’ll need to spend more time and effort on the finished result.

One way to ensure you can minimise the muscle strain and get the job done quickly and effectively is by having the right equipment in place before you start.

And, whether you’re a professional plasterer or doing a spot of DIY, anything that will help save you time and effort is a massive bonus. We love being able to offer products that are going to help not hinder, so here is a list of our top 10 timesaving plastering tools:

List of tools

• Spatula – With options available from leading brands such as Refina, Putz and Speedskim, these make a perfect flattening or finishing tool and can also be used for jointing, taping and smoothing. Great features of the products include Speedskim technology, an ultra-flexible stainless steel blade and h frame moulded hand grip.

• Powermixer – Why do your mixing by hand when you can have the hard work done for you?  One example is this powerful machine from Eibenstock which will mix all manner of materials including prefab mortar, prefab plaster, renders, cement lime, concrete quartz-containing epoxy resin, flooring and sealing compounds, gypsum and granulates.

• Plasterspot – It can take plenty of time to install ceiling downlights and getting them in the right place can be complex. These innovative indicators have been developed to simplify the process and remove the need for extensive drawings to ensure you get it right.

• Taping tools – The automatic taping tools available these days can save you masses of time meaning you avoid the laborious job of taping by hand. They promise the fastest method of applying paper tape and jointing compounds to plasterboard.

• Corner trowel – One of the toughest bits to get right when you’re plastering can be the corners and they’re the things that can make the whole wall look good or bad. With a corner trowel it makes the job much easier and quicker. Check out this one with rounded corners from Ragni which is made from high quality stainless steel and has a hold-fast, non-slip handle with a finger guard.

•  A large mixing bucket – Size really can be everything with these heavy black plastic mixing tubs which are perfect for mixing and gauging heavy bulky materials, are tapered for easy stacking and easy to clean.

• Stilts – a massively useful tool which will save you time and effort when you’re looking to get to hard to reach areas such as ceilings and the tops of walls.

• Screw gun Dewalt – if you’re looking to fit drywall quickly and effectively, then laying your hands on one of these is definitely the way to go, with its powerful brushless motor and maximum runtime.

• Repair Service – if you have the horror of a tool breaking while you’re using it, then our repair service could be just what you need because not only will we collect the tool from you, meaning no downtime, but we will give it a refurb while it’s being fixed.

• Sanders – innovative, flexible and lightweight machines such as the Flex Giraffe wall and ceiling sander make this painful job so much quicker and easier, giving you the sort of finish you need in no time.
