They are all good, a 3" Nail Spotter is always a good idea as it holds more compound than a 2" so less trips back to the pump. I can do one for £140 + VAT feel free to give me a call on 07854 795 225 or drop me a line david@thetapingstore.com

spot
we use a 3" on the last coat only using a soft type mud (easy sanding) they are more sanding if you over lap coats,which can lead to flashing and burring of the rock/drywall.but it makes that last coat on screws real fast which I find is the most time consuming when done buy hand

We've come out with a new Nail Spotter in the last year that has a skid plate on it but also has the option for wheels. I personally like the skid plate to protect you from breaking your blade, but if you have a reliable hang crew or hang yourself than the wheels are the way to go.

I'm with Turrican,Blueline 3,much easier to control than the one's that have a skid plate.Don't be fooled into thinking,the skid stops the blade getting damaged,you still catch the screw after the plates hits it first,Any spotter with wheels is better than the skid plate gimmick. ps.the 10 + 12 box don't have a skid plate.End of !!!!!!
