  • Drywall tool
    Patent number: 6799704
    Abstract: A dry wall tool includes a tubular, L-shaped device having a tapered end. A sleeve is disposed around the tapered end. The other end of the tubular device is adapted to receive an existing filler nozzle or it may be fitted with its own filler nozzle. The tapered end is adapted for removable insertion into an open end of the gooseneck of a dry wall mud pump. A finger ring is disposed on the outer surface of the device so that the device may be easily manipulated. The device eliminates the requirement for the box filler adapter and for wrenches needed when switching from bazooka tools to box tools.
