Palm-sized RocWizard Provides a Lighter, Faster and More Efficient Way to Hang Drywall

 Innovative design combines five frequently used tools into a single compact device

 VISTA, Calif. — Forget necessity, frustration is the true mother of invention.  IDL Tools International announces the RocWizard^™ 5-in-1 Professional’s Drywall Tool.  The patented design of the RocWizard^™ provides users more convenient and safer access to the five hand tools used most frequently when installing sheet rock.  The innovative palm-sized design eliminates the time-consuming frustration of having to repeatedly reach down into the tool box to transition between jobs boosting productivity without cutting corners or sacrificing safety.  

 The only tool of its kind the unique design of the RocWizard^™ allows for near-instant shifts among tools to help users get more done in less time. Transitioning from using the utility knife to score & snap drywall, to using the rasp to smooth-out rough edges is as simple as sliding away the blade.  Gone are the repeated reaches, fumbles, and hesitations previously associated with hanging drywall. 

With these patented innovations, the RocWizard^™ can handle the rigorous demands of the industrial professional and also provide do-it-yourselfers the added confidence to tackle domestic drywall jobs on their own - like re-doing a bathroom or finishing off a basement. Regardless of durability requirements or skill level the RocWizard^™ will help finish work with less hassle and frustration.   

Innovation driven by frustration

“We didn’t come up with the idea for a 5-in-1 drywall tool” admits Bill Driscoll, Vice President, Strategy and Marketing at IDL Tools International  “The concept and rough sketches were brought to us by a professional contractor with over 25 years experience, and frustration, in hanging drywall.  Simply put, he was tired of cutting his knuckles on the keyhole saw when reaching into his belt and wasting valuable time rifling around in his belt to find the right tool.  Using his experience and concepts we worked together to develop the RocWizard^™  5-in-1 Drywall Tool.”     

The RocWizard^™ measures only 6” from end to end, 1.25” side to side and weighs a slight 10 ounces.  The body of the tool is constructed of aircraft grade aluminum and inside are:

1.Keyhole Saw:  Fully hardened blade, with individually sharpened teeth, cuts quickly, stays sharp and locks open and closed for added safety

2.Utility Knife:  Provides fast & easy push-button blade replacement and holds most standard sizes of blades

3.Tube / Seal Punch:  Steel puncher breaks through the caulk and adhesive tube seals & clogs.   No more searching for a screw or nail.

4.Drywall Rasp:  Quickly & easily smoothes rough edges to make sure edges are clean and true

5.Small Prybar: Curved v-notched bar helps easily remove misplaced drywall screws that miss studs.

 The RocWizard^™ comes with a durable nylon pouch that keeps it within arms reach and has a complete satisfaction guarantee.
