Marshalltown Direct Pressure Knives
Hello All,
Just wondering if anyone has tried or is using a set of Marshalltown Direct Pressure Knives? I am getting wicked carpel tunnel and thought these may help? |

Re: Marshalltown Direct Pressure Knives
I'm looking at that knife.... and wondering, how do you get the mud from the pan, and to the wall? I can see that pulling it down a wall might be nice, but the pan.... I don't know. I think I'm going to have to see an instructional video. And that makes me feel pretty stupid. So I'm just going to go ahead and avoid these knives. In the last 17 years I've been able to pick up and learn any tool with little to no instruction, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let a KNIFE get the best of me.

I think they have pans made for that knife so you can pick up better.

Re: Marshalltown Direct Pressure Knives
Haven't used one or seen one is use, but as far as how to get the mud out of the pan... couldn't you skip the pan and use a hawk?

Re: Marshalltown Direct Pressure Knives
I have the whole set... They are weird! Strange to get the mud out of the round bottom pan. The curve in the handle makes you use bigger muscles on your hand and wrist. That could be a good thing if you are having issues in your hand. Thye draw dust on the shelf mostly.

Re: Marshalltown Direct Pressure Knives
I saw that pan coupled with that knife today. I was wondering what the hell you would use that HAWKPAN for. Of course! You use it with the knife that doubles as a bondage toy! That pan looks weird. I didn't realize it was so large! You could plop half a box of mud in that thing!!! Hey Tim, How's biz in Iowa?

Re: Marshalltown Direct Pressure Knives
not totally revolutionary, but very little pressure needed, and can lay very flat, with knuckles nowhere near your nice smooth wipe on the last pass

Re: Marshalltown Direct Pressure Knives
maybe that is kinda revolutionary.......
anyway, i liked mine but its still getting dusty. flips back and forth real easy to wipe both ways on a taper joint, kinda hooked forefinger around handle, locked with middle finger, press with thumb. nice on outside corners. never tried it on a butt. Last edited by liver; 02-26-2010 at 01:14 AM. |
