Goldblatt Drywall Hand Tool Kit - 14 in 1, 6 Pieces Stainless Steel Joint Knife, Taping Knives, Paniter Scraper, Mud Pan Review

4.7 out of 5

Why I reached for this kit

I took on a living room refresh that required patching old electrical cutouts, floating a few seams, and skimming some tired orange peel. I wanted a compact set I could toss in a bucket and use all day without fuss. The Goldblatt drywall kit immediately felt like the right mix of essentials: two flex joint knives (4" and 6"), two wider taping knives (8" and 12"), a stainless mud pan, and a 14‑in‑1 painter’s tool. After a few days of cutting, filling, feathering, and cleaning up, here’s how it performed.

What you get and how it’s laid out

  • 4" and 6" flex joint knives: My go-tos for fast compound pickup, filling screw pops, and first-pass patching.
  • 8" and 12" taping knives: For second and finish coats, blending seams, and feathering out wider patches.
  • 12" stainless mud pan: Polished, heli-arc welded ends, curved interior corners, and straight-sheared edges.
  • 14‑in‑1 painter’s tool: Scraper/putty knife hybrid with onboard PH#2 and 1/4" slotted bits, a spray-gun wrench, a bottle opener, a roller cleaner, and a handle that threads onto a standard broom pole.

That mix covers 90% of drywall and paint-prep tasks I encounter on small-to-midsize jobs without carting around a full box of specialty tools.

Build quality and feel

The standout here is consistency. All four knives use polished stainless steel with precise, uniform edges. Out of the box, the blades were ready to work—no ragged burrs, no wavy grind lines. The flex on the 4" and 6" is tuned just right for drawing compound out of a pan and pushing it into voids without chattering. The 8" has a moderate flex that makes it forgiving on a second coat, and the 12" rides the wall with enough give to feather cleanly without scalloping.

Handles are a soft, rubberized material over a rigid core. They’re grippy without being tacky, and they didn’t turn slick even with compound and a little water on them. The shape fills the hand, and the subtle palm swell makes all-day use easier. Each knife includes a metal hammer-end—useful for seating a proud drywall nail or dimpled screw before filling. Hang holes are large enough for common peg hooks.

The mud pan is better than I expected in a combo kit. Heli-arc welded end caps are tight and truly watertight, and the interior corners have a smooth radius that keeps mud from packing in. The straight-sheared top edges give a crisp scraping surface for cleaning knives between passes. The contoured bottom aids grip, especially when your gloves are wet.

In use: knives and mud pan

I started by bedding a few patches with the 6" and used the 4" to work tight corners and get compound into shallow gouges. The knives pick up compound cleanly; that polished finish makes a difference when you’re loading the blade—less drag and fewer dry streaks.

On seams and larger patches, the 8" is an excellent second-coat knife. It has enough flex to ride over the crown you created with the first pass and spread an even layer edge to edge. The 12" is where you get your final blend. With light pressure on the outer inch of the blade and a slightly higher angle at the center, I could feather transitions so they disappeared under primer.

The mud pan’s edges are surprisingly precise for the price point. Scraping the blade yields a clean edge with minimal compound left on the knife. One small note: like most stainless pans, the top lips are thin—it’s great for scraping but can be a little aggressive on cheap disposable gloves. Not a flaw, just something to be aware of.

Cleanup was a breeze. Compound doesn’t cling to the polished stainless; a quick rinse and a wipe, and the tools looked new. I didn’t see any residue hang-ups in the pan corners either, a common annoyance with squared-off pans.

The 14‑in‑1 painter’s tool

Multi-tools can be a gimmick, but this one is more useful than not. The scraper edge is comfortable for knocking down high spots or shaving ridges, and the curved notch cleans mini roller covers effectively. I appreciate the concealed PH#2 and 1/4" slotted bits; being able to snug a loose switch plate or remove a register without running back to the toolbox is genuinely handy. The wrench cutout fits common spray-gun fittings, and the handle threads onto a standard broom pole—great for scraping tape boogers off ceilings or reaching above stairwells.

That said, it’s a big tool. If you prefer a minimalist 5‑in‑1 for pocket carry, this will feel bulky. And the bottle opener… I could live without it. Functionally, though, the scraper blade holds an edge, and the tool earns its keep in a prep bucket.

Durability and maintenance

Stainless steel is the right choice for knives you’ll wash constantly. Over several days of work-and-rinse cycles, I saw no staining or pitting. Stainless can still spot if compound dries on it and sits wet overnight, so my routine is simple: rinse thoroughly, wipe dry, and store out of the pan so moisture can’t pool between the blade and handle. With that, these should last years.

The handles shrugged off solvent splashes and didn’t loosen or twist under torque. The hammer caps are properly aligned and didn’t mushroom under light tapping. Welds on the pan look clean and show no signs of seepage.

Where it falls short

  • The 14‑in‑1 is over-featured for some users. If you want a thin, nimble scraper in your back pocket, this isn’t it.
  • The 12" knife, while nicely flexible, may feel a touch soft for those who prefer a stiffer finish blade for ultrathin top coats. It’s not floppy, but it prioritizes forgiveness over razor-flat rigidity.
  • The pan lips are sharp, which is good for performance but will slice cheap gloves. Use decent nitrile or bare hands when scraping.

None of these are deal-breakers, but they’re worth knowing before you buy.

Value and who it’s for

This kit hits a sweet spot: enough range to handle real drywall work without creeping into specialty territory. For DIYers tackling patches, accent walls, or a room’s worth of repairs, it’s an easy recommendation—everything you need, nothing you don’t. For pros, it’s a solid secondary set or a jobsite kit you won’t mind lending out, with quality high enough for daily use.

Importantly, the knives don’t feel like “bundle-grade” compromises. They’re legitimate performers with the kind of finish and edge quality I expect from more expensive, individual tools.

Tips to get the most from it

  • Break in gently: Run a few light passes on scrap drywall or a sacrificial board to understand each blade’s flex and sweet spot.
  • Use the 6"/8"/12" progression: Patch/fill with the 6", second coat with the 8", final feather with the 12" to minimize sanding.
  • Keep the pan clean: Scrape the pan edges occasionally with the 14‑in‑1 to avoid dried chatter particles getting into your finish coat.
  • Rinse and dry promptly: Stainless resists corrosion, but don’t leave compound drying on the blades. Quick wash, towel dry, hang by the holes.
  • Tap, then fill: Use the hammer caps to seat any proud fasteners before you mud. It prevents telegraphing through your finish.

Bottom line

The Goldblatt drywall kit gets the fundamentals right: straight, polished stainless blades; comfortable, durable handles; and a mud pan that makes daily use and cleanup painless. The multi-tool won’t replace a dedicated scraper for everyone, but it adds genuine utility to the bundle. Across several days of real work, the set felt capable, predictable, and—most importantly—helpful in producing clean results with less sanding.

Recommendation: I recommend this kit. It’s a well-built, thoughtfully equipped set that covers core drywall tasks with minimal compromise. If you want reliable knives and a quality pan without assembling a piecemeal collection, this hits the mark.

Creative

Textured Accent Panel Sets

Use the 8" and 12" taping knives plus the mud pan as a mixing palette to create 12"–24" decorative plaster panels.

Make sets of 3 panels for living rooms or headboards — lightweight, easy to ship, and can be hung using the hang holes as a template for fixing.


Mini Relief Sculptures (Wall Tiles)

Mix small batches of joint compound in the mud pan and sculpt low-relief designs (botanical, geometric, abstract) using the 6" and 4" flex joint knives as carving instruments. The polished blades give precise edges for raised detail. After drying, seal and paint with washes or gold leaf. These make great custom wall tile sets for gift markets or gallery sales.
