Key Features to Look For in Framing & Hanging Tools

When shopping for drywall hanging tools, it’s crucial to select high-quality tools to complete each task throughout the drywall installation and repair process. Many of these tools also serve as door-hanging or picture-framing tools. Here, we share the key features to consider when selecting these tools to make the job easier.

Durability

When you make the decision to invest in hanging and framing tools, it’s crucial to opt for high-quality, reputable brands in order to ensure longevity and resilience. By selecting tools from a leading brand, you can be confident in their ability to meet your needs for years to come.

Precision and Accuracy

Drywall installation requires skill and accuracy to ensure walls and ceilings are smooth, stable, and aligned. The right tools, such as proper drywall cutting tools and chalk lines, will ensure precision and accuracy every time. 

Ease of Use

Tools are designed to make tasks easier. However, every brand offers different designs. To find the right tools for you, it’s essential to handle them and see how they feel. Some are heavier, which can make them more difficult to manipulate, while others might have a lightweight design to make them easier to control. Ergonomically designed handles make tools more comfortable to hold while reducing the risks of pain from repetitive use. 

Safety

Safety should be at the top of your mind for any project you complete. Finding tools designed to help protect you while you work with features such as locks, safety guards and default settings, all help to reduce the risk of injury. As mentioned above, ease of use is critical to safety, as using tools that are too large or heavy for you to handle increases the risk of accidents. 

Portability

Portable tools make everything easier. They are also smaller and lighter, allowing you to tackle tight corners and awkward areas where full-sized tools won’t fit. 

Cost-Effectiveness

Of course, budget is always a consideration, and there are three main factors that contribute to cost-effectiveness:

1. Long-term benefits: A tool might seem expensive at first glance, but if it allows you to become more efficient, improves safety, or helps perfect your work, then the long-term benefits will outweigh the upfront cost.

2. Quality: Not all tools are made with the same level of quality, nor are they always backed by reputable companies. For this reason, comparing item quality and factors like warranties will ensure you see the most value for your money. These two considerations ensure you benefit from the efficiency and durability over the life of the tool.

3. Competitive pricing: Finally, while it’s true that you get what you pay for, you also want to be careful not to overpay for tools due to a retailer’s high pricing or markups. While the best tools tend to cost more, price alone doesn’t necessarily indicate quality. It helps to shop around, especially for major purchases. 

At Yvon Building Supply, our customers know they can trust us to supply leading quality drywall hanging tools and construction materials at competitive prices. Our friendly, knowledgeable customer care team is also available to provide recommendations and help you find the right tools for every job. 

Maintenance Tips and Care of Hanging & Framing Tools

You invest good money in your tools and want to make the most of their performance. Proper maintenance and care will help optimize the performance of your hanging and framing tools and extend their lifespan, providing more value in the long term.

Some essential tips and best practices for maintaining and caring for your tools include: 

• Clean tools at the end of every project to remove things such as mud that can dull cutting knives and create uneven buildup on putty knives
• Be sure to thoroughly dry metal blades to avoid rust, especially carbon and blue steel products
• Consider applying WD-40 or similar products to prevent oxidation of carbon and blue steel blades
• Store tools in a clean, dry toolbox or tool storage system to avoid rust related to moisture
• Store blades and cutting tools with the handle pointing up, preferably on a tool rack, so any moisture or condensation will run off the blade and onto the handle
