My boss swore by a 6 inch taping knife for everything, but I finally switched

He'd say 'you can do any job with this' for years, so I never bought a bigger one. Then I had to skim a whole ceiling in a Phoenix remodel last month and my arms were dead after two hours. Grabbed a 12 inch knife from the truck just to try it, and it cut the work time in half. Anyone got a favorite brand for the bigger knives?

Used to agree. That ceiling changed my mind.

Oh man, that hits home. My old foreman was the same way, a total 6-inch evangelist. I spent a whole summer doing basement walls with one before I wised up. Felt like I was painting the Sistine Chapel with a toothbrush.
