MarshalltownProSkim Handle Bracket,Clamps on ProSkim Blade Drywall Tool, All-Angle Bracket, Made in the USA, SKIMBRKT

It fits my skimmer blade wonderfully...

for such a simple item it does need to be stiff and snug so when using the skimming tool on a pole the whole thing leaves perfect coating. i could not have been able to do the job on the ceiling to the level i did without it. A several hour job with ladders was reduced to 30 minutes with this small item and 24" skimming trowel. well worth the cost in time and frustration as i skim coated over popcorn ceiling.

I bought this 48" skimmer because I had a large uneven drywall area to fill, and I felt that I would rather fill with mud than pull down the sheetrock. I needed it narrower and used a belt sander to narrow it to about 46" to fit into a diagonal wall in a gabled area, and the blade did not bend or warp. I probably should have used a board as a screed, because this is not exactly what the skimmer's purpose is. It took a few passes to get the mud up to the level I needed. But it worked perfectly when I got to the skim stage on that wall. This wall unfortunately is flatter than the wall I did not have to skim. But the paint texture seemed to hide all the joints anyway. No rust after washing this tool. It worked awesome. Now it is going to sit and gather dust, because I am no pro and do not like drywall finishing.

I used it for a 300sqft job. It worked great.

Good quality. Will fit a standard thread pole.
