MARSHALLTOWN Heli-Arc Mud Pans, 14 Inch, Heavy Gauge Stainless Steel, Heli-Arc Welded Corners, Sheared Sides to Clean Knives, Hold Joint Compound, Drywall and Plaster, 6396

Well made very happy at a good price too

I finally decided to invest in a proper mud pan after taking on a substantial home remodeling project.The fit and finish of the pan is top notch, way better than the run off of mill that you find at the big box stores. The pan arrived in a timely mannerand in perfect condition. Being a pro level item, I found it heavy at first but you will get used to it. I seriously doubt that I will ever have to replace it in my lifetime.

Nice heavy duty mud pan. Keep it clean and you’ll have it for a lifetime…unless it’s stolen. Fast, secure shipping.

Ver well made. I highly recommend this product!

A great mud bucket for the money. Polished stainless steel finish resists rust and is very easy to clean. The only concern I had with the product was its sharp edges which I rounded off with a file.

Works very well.

After several home renovation jobs with a plastic mud pan that was a total PITA to clean, I threw this in my cart and decided to give it a try. It's honestly one of the best purchases I made with regards to my drywall tool arsenal. If you're thinking you can save money on a cheaper pan, don't do it! It's stainless steel, so if cared for properly it will not rust. It's polished and perfectly smooth, so it takes 1/3 the time to clean. The top edges are sharp and true, which makes cleaning your mud knives a snap. I no longer get little red plastic bits in my compound when I accidentally scrape the bottom, and can use about every last bit in the pan. Mine was a Made in the USA product and from my opinion of 18 years in the sheetmetal fabrication business, is extremely well made.

Solid good product

Great size, perfect for my application, well built

Bought an old house. The walls were plaster with cracks and there was no insulation in the walls. I replaced all walls with drywall and this piece made the job a lot easier. Been using almost daily since purchasing it. Can't imagine doing this work without it. Quality is great. I'm impressed.

Great quality

Stainless construction is great. Welds are solid and leak-proof. Very comfortable size for when you're taping. A couple issues with the quality of the built though:One corner was obviously damaged during the assembly process, appears to have been hammered on to get it to fit up for the weld. Not a huge deal, but definitely annoying on a brand new tool.The sides are also not as straight as I would like. It works, but if you're using a stiffer stainless knife with it at well, it doesn't conform as well as I'd like it to. Again, not a huge deal, and I understand that heat distortion during welding is an issue.I also want to point out that if you're used to a mud pan with a curved bottom, these square designs are significantly less comfortable. I find that it sits awkwardly in the palm,and puts more pressure on your thumb while you hold it. If you're the kind of guy using this 12hrs day/6 days a week I would probably pass, however the price bracket that it is in makes it a great deal for a homegamer if you're looking for some quality stainless steel and a smaller footprint.

high quality... should last many years
