What it does

4" flexible joint knife with a stainless steel full-tang blade and a flex point for spreading joint compound. The usual tape-coat width. No Hammer Head on this model.

How to use it

  1. Embed tape with a thin film of mud left under it.
  2. Wipe from the center of a run toward each end at about 45 degrees.
  3. Steer pressure to the blade's center so the corners do not cut tram-lines.

Common questions

What size joint knife should I start with for taping?

A 4 to 6" knife for the tape coat. The 4" works best in inside corners.

01540 or 01550?

The blades are identical. The 01550 adds a nail-setting Hammer Head butt. Choose it for remodel work.

Can it do the fill and skim coats?

No. Those need a wide taping knife to feather the seam flat.

Paper or mesh tape?

Paper in corners. Paper is generally stronger. Use mesh only with setting compound.
