Old fixture was 7", this ring covered the hole and allowed me to use standard 6" recessed light fixtures.

This tool will save you in a pinch. No need to go into the wall and add hours to a job when you have this tool! Just cut the old broken PVC piping out of the joint, and put in new piping.

Picked this item because I saw on YouTube being used by April Wilkerson. It has come in handy with fixing drywall and keeping the dust out of my lungs. I would recommend this item highly.

Makita is a great brand, I was buying this after a recommendation, so far used a lot with my home renovation on drywall, worked well!

Put away the price, - the product is excellent.
I used it, and, then applied the patch from Lowes on top. Beautiful.

Works great! Just make sure you have your own grommets for installing into Dry Wall. High Quality ones are good.

Often times when patching drywall, the patch won't match the rest of the wall because the patch isn't textured (yet). I've tried a lot of products to match texture and, especially in a relatively small area (under about 3 square feet), it's not always easy to do. This stuff is the real deal, though, and makes it possible to get professional-looking results. (Don't bother with the water-based stuff - it's crap.) Yes, this stuff "stinks" (so open a window and get out a fan), but it WORKS - and if you're going to be looking at the wall for a long time (it's not in a closet or basement, and you're not selling the house), it's worth a bit of inconvenience to get the right result. I'd suggest experimenting with the spray a bit before you actually apply it, either on a scrap piece of sheet rock, or even a piece of cardboard (sheet rock will give you a more reliable idea of the result you're going to get on your actual wall). I'd also suggest, based on experience, that you start about in the middle (on "medium") as far as the spray goes. As with pretty much any spray-on product, you're best off if you start a little ways outside of the area you're working on and then spray past it, applying a little at a time until you get the result you want, rather than just "glopping" some on the area you've patched. Because it's an oil-based product, it dries very quickly (around 15 minutes, in most cases in my experience), and once it's dry to the touch you're "good to go" for primer and paint. (And I'd suggest a coat of primer - latex primer is fine, no need to use oil-based.) And, when you're done, step outside, turn the can upside down, and clear the nozzle. It doesn't take long - a second or so - and it will mean that the nozzle won't be clogged the next time you need to use it. (Once the nozzle is clogged, that's pretty much it for the can as it's just about impossible to clean this stuff out.) Oh, and if you get too much of it on the wall, you can just wipe it off (while it's wet, of course) or use a sanding sponge (if it's dry). It's not rocket science or brain surgery and practice makes perfect! (Seriously, open a window or two, or you'll be sorry...)

I have a 30 foot crack that varies in width from 2 inches to 1/2 inches in width. One bucket (23 pounds) of Latex-ite black trowel patch was just the right amount to fill it.  I purchased the bucket in a local home repair store for just under $16.  I also needed to buy a trowel, I used 7x3 towel with a pointy nose&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Marshalltown-45-7D-7-Inch-by-3-Inch-Pointing-Trowel-with-DuraSoft-Handlee/dp/B000V4DBKQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Marshalltown 45 7D 7-Inch by 3-Inch Pointing Trowel with DuraSoft Handlee</a>.

I cleaned the crack by swiping it with a broom. If the crack is more than 1/2 inch deep you need to apply the patch several times 1/2 inch at a time. The crack I had was about 1/2 inch deep so I could do it in one layer.  All it took was dumping the content of the bucket one trowel full at a time into the crack and then smoothing it with the trowel after dipping it in water.  I was able to fill the hole crack and then go over it one more time smoothing.  This took maybe 15 minutes. After 15 minutes the mixture was still easy to work with.  In about two hours the thin layer overlapping old asphalt next to the crack turned black, and the next morning the crack itself was black as well.  The instructions warn to fill the crack when no rain is expected for 24 hours.

I am attaching of a photo of the filled crack.  The crack was filled at 6 pm in the afternoon, the photo was taken at 9 am the next morning.

Updated in 48 hours:

This was my first patching job, and I used the entire bucket. I should have left some to fill the small cracks and gaps that appeared 24 hours later. Since I did not, I had to purchase a small amount of the crack filler to finish the original larger job. Lesson learned: leave some filler for touch-ups.  Attaching additional photos of the small cracks after repair #1, and results of repair #2.

Update 6/7/2012

One year later small cracks in the middle of the patch job reappeared.  This year I can probably still live with it as is, but next year I would have to refill for sure.  The good news is that the snow plow that removed the snow this winter did not tore the patch out, I was a bit worried about that as it was not perfectly smooth with the rest of the pavement.

For anyone wiring old houses, this is a necessity. Saves having to tear out walls to get a wire up or down the wall. Thanks.

This is a terrific tool.  I've mostly used it for drywall and it's very handy and easy to use.

I recently redid my garage. The previous owners had that crappy white wire shelving attached to the walls with massive screws. There also seemed to be random holes of varying size everywhere in the drywall. This stuff worked like a charm and I have no complaints. Im sure it has other uses also, but its perfect for patching drywall.

You can't go wrong with this tool.  The design is clever and it will definitely save your drywall.  There is an angled piece that pushes your trim away from the wall as you hammer the tool straight down.  This makes it extremely easy to remove sections of trim without punching holes in your sheetrock like hammers or crowbars.

I added a new light fixture in my bathroom.  I cut the hole for the junction box to big.  I used goof patch to hide the excess.  9 dollars and 5 minutes to apply the patch.  Now if my wife will complete the painting mission accomplished.

Product color and quality was as advertised.  Preplanning your areas to cover is to your advantage.  This product is a great inexpensive way to update your walls.

Really nice. The whole assembly is included here. Cut the hole in drywall, drop this in and secure with 4 screws provided.  Done!

This is an excellent way to patch a ding in a sink or on a tile floor or even if there is rust starting in your dishwasher rack.  Put a bit of this on and it will create a new seal and last longer.
