Level 5 Tools 4-755 3" Drywall Nail Spotter

LEVEL5 nail spotters are used to quickly fill and finish fastener indentations during the drywall finishing process.

With a nail spotter, you can fill and finish an entire row of fastener indentations (screw or nail) in a single pass. The process is much easier and faster than if you were doing it using traditional hand finishing tools, and typically much less sanding is required afterwards. With a nail spotter you also have additional reach, which means you can fill fastener indentations on high walls and ceilings without the use of stilts.

The wheels on a nail spotter head allow it to run smoothly on the surface of the drywall, as well as glide over joints without tearing the tape.

Nail spotting is typically performed in two or three thin coats. Although there is no definitive rules regarding which box size to use for each coat, we suggest the following to minimize sanding:

• 2” Width - One or two underlying fill coats
• 3” Width - Final skim coat to feather out the edges
