Review: This tool can make anyone skim coat like a pro!!!! - 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!
Review: Skimming blades by level 5 - 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.

## Features

- GENUINE LEVEL5 ›› If quality, performance, and reliability of your finishing tools matters, choose LEVEL5 brand tools.
- FEELS LIKE CHEATING ›› Get incredible results with a low learning curve! Skimming blades smooth out drywall mud, plaster and other compounds with ease. They are game changers!
- FINISH WITH HIGH PRECISION ›› No other skimming blade compares to LEVEL5. The proprietary blade edge enables the mud to roll off with ease. The unique shape of the blade also minimizes or eliminates lap marks when you are smoothing out large areas (see the description below for more details).
- PERFECT RESULTS EVERY TIME ›› Smoothing compound requires finesse. LEVEL5 tools are designed to be rigid but extremely lightweight. Why? So you can obtain an unprecedented “mud feel” for the smoothest finish possible.
- REPLACEABLE BLADE INSERTS ›› Skimming blades are precision instruments and the reality is that they can be damaged on the job site if they are dropped. Unlike competitive skimming blade models, LEVEL5 Skimming Blades feature blade inserts that are easily replaceable. No tools are necessary!

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.
