A flat box is used in conjunction with a flat box handle to efficiently apply a crowned, feathered coat of joint compound over taped flat seams on walls and ceilings.
DeWalt flat boxes feature a premium-grade aluminum housing that has been anodized for extreme durability and easy cleaning. They are fitted with a flexible brass blade holder and a stainless steel blade, as well as stainless steel skids and shoes. A crown adjustment dial provides six settings (including “wide open”), so the ideal amount of compound can be dispensed on the wall to ensure consistent, professional results.
DeWalt flat boxes have a premium composite pressure plate seal and beveled edges on the box housing ensure easy open and close. The pressure plate itself also opens extra wide for easy cleaning.
DeWalt flat boxes are outfitted with non-marring wheels with durable bearings for ultra-smooth operation.
MEGA CAPACITY FLAT BOXES
The MEGA capacity flat boxes can hold approximately 30% more compound than standard capacity flat boxes, enabling few trips back and forth to the pump. The trade off is that MEGA capacity fla boxes are bulkier and heavier when full due to their increased height. Ultimately, the choice between the two styles is a matter of personal preference.
