MARSHALLTOWN Drywall Hawk, 13 Inch, Assembled in the USA, Plaster Tool

Haven't actually used it yet, but it is clearly high quality. I really love the grip on the handle.

Super

I needed a hawk to do some stucko on my wall and this hawk did a great job. It's not what professionals use but it will do the job especially if it's a small home project you're working on. There's really no reason to purchase some expensive tool which you end up using only a few times. If you're a pro then this isn't the tool you need anyways but for us DIY guys it's perfect for the price.

I only ever do occasional small scale home renovations/improvements. Still I found this hawk to be a worthy investment. It might be tempting to use a bucket or some plastic container as a makeshift solution to save a few dollars, but the amount of time you save and the improvements to the overall quality of your work by using professional tools alone makes it worthwhile. The hawk was very comfortable and easy to use and clean. I know it won't rust or degrade with age in anyway, so I can use it for many years to come.

This hawk is nice. Not too heavy, nice size, and the handle provides a sure grip for long periods of use. The plastic shipping envelope provided no protection for the corners of the hawk which were beat up and required smoothing to eliminate jagged edges caused by getting thrown around during shipping. Either a box for shipping or securing some plastic or rubber edges to the hawk might have prevented this damage. All things considered, it is very nice.

Super light, cleans well. As always with aluminum be careful scraping with a stainless knife or it’ll grab. Would purchase again

Good Grip, good quality, value for money.

I am a handyman and have installed wallboard in several rooms over the years. I would rate myself as a B+ or B wall boarder. I watched a video on spackling wall board, and they recommended using a hawk and trowel, so I would this hawk and a Marshalltown finishing trowel. I can't believe how much easier spackling is with these two tools and how I am now an A or A- Spackler. The hawk allows you to carry the spackle to the joint you are working on, and you do not have to return to the bucket multiple times to refill the blade. The hawk also provides and edge to clean off your trowel as you work. The trowel provides a much different angle of approach than a normal spackle knife. With a normal spackle knife, you are spreading the spackle 5-6 inches after your hand, and it is a little harder to judge the appropriate amount of pressure to apply to the spackle knife. With a trowel, the point of contact is just 1-2 behind your hand, so your hand is much more sensitive to the amount of pressure you are applying. An example would be spreading soft margarine on a piece of toast. As you spread it, it is easy to control the pressure on the knife. Now imagine spreading the margarine with a putty knife that is five inches behind your hand. Give the hawk and trowel a try. You will be happy you did.
