A tool and method for measuring, marking and/or scoring drywall sheets. The tool includes a housing having front and rear housing sections forming an internal chamber; a spool rotatably mounted within the chamber; a flexible tape stored on the spool and expandable and retractable from the housing; a brake mechanism mounted on the housing and engageable to maintain the tape in an extended position; a guide mounted on a second end of the tape; and a contact device extending from the housing for marking and/or scoring the surface of the sheet. The guide is placed in abutting contact with an edge of the drywall sheet and the contact device is positioned on the exterior surface thereof. The housing is moved across the exterior surface while the guide remains in abutting contact with the edge, and the contact device marks or scores the surface as the housing is moved thereover.

Drywall tool and method of using the same

Drywall tool

A jug for retaining a plastic bag containing a liquid and a method of using the same. The jug includes a bottom and a peripheral wall extending upwardly therefrom and defining a cavity for receiving the bag. The peripheral wall terminates in a rim and a handle extends outwardly from the peripheral wall's exterior surface. An engagement means is provided on the jug to engage the bag and retain it within the cavity when the jug is tilted to pour the liquid therefrom. The engagement means preferably is a slit defined in the rear region of the peripheral wall adjacent the handle. The slit originates in the rim and extends downwardly for a distance. A portion of a rear region of the bag is slid into the slit and wedged therein. The wedged portion extends into a compartment defined by a retaining wall that extends outwardly from the peripheral wall.
