1.
The LEVEL5 Skimming Blade profile provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip. The design also allows for one of LEVEL5's three specialized skimming blade handles to be securely attached with a handle adapter.
2.
LEVEL5 Skimming Blades feature an extruded, aircraft-grade aluminum blade housing. The blade remains rigid and straight, even at lengths up to 4 feet (48 inches).
3.
The adjustment thumb screw enables the skimming blade to be easily adjusted to the optimal angle for any finishing job.
4.
The skimming blade handle adapter is composed of glass-filled composite. This material is very light weight but offers excellent strength and impact resistance.
5.
The handle adapter quickly snaps over the blade housing for a secure connection. To release, simply lift the two quick release tabs.
6.
The LEVEL5 Skimming Blade handle fits securely into the handle adapter, ensuring there is no wobble during use. The handle is secured using button snaps.
7.
The LEVEL5 Skimming Blade handle is manufactured using lightweight but rigid fiberglass and aluminum. An easy-to-use twist lock secures the handle at the desired length.
8.
Unlike typical finishing knives, LEVEL5 Skimming Blade inserts feature a rounded edge that keeps the corners from gouging freshly smoothed drywall compound or paper.
9.
LEVEL5 Skimming Blade inserts are precision crafted using 0.3mm European stainless steel.
10.
LEVEL5 Skimming Blade inserts are easily replaced if damaged or worn (sold separately). They slide into the blade housing for a snug fit. This configuration is more cost-effective than replacing the entire skimming blade.
11.
Composite end caps prevent drywall compound from accumulating (and drying) inside the skimming blade housing. This allows for easy cleanup!
Rigid Aluminum Blade Housings
LEVEL5 Skimming Blades feature aircraft-grade, extruded aluminum housings for maximum rigidity across the blade span.
Extra Reach with an Optional Handle Adapter and One of Three Handle Options
Manufactured using premium fiberglass, aluminum, and high impact ABS composite, LEVEL5's line of skimming blade handles are extremely lightweight yet robust and rigid - even when fully extended.
The Blade Inserts are Replaceable!
LEVEL5 Skimming Blades feature blade inserts that are easily replaceable if damaged or worn. This means the tool can be renewed at a fraction of the cost of replacing the whole blade.
A Range of Toolset Combinations are Available
LEVEL5 Skimming Blade and accessories can be purchased individually, or in a toolset.
A wide range of toolset configurations are available to suit every situation.
