Thought those new flexible corner beads were just a gimmick
Saw them at the supply house in Phoenix and figured they'd crack. Used them on a curved wall job last week, the kind with a 4 foot radius. After two coats of mud and sanding, the line stayed clean with no pop. What other new tools have you guys actually found work as advertised?

Check out the new collapsible drywall carts. They fold flat for storage but hold a full load of boards on site without wobbling. Saved my back on a third floor walk-up last month.

What's the best new tool you've tried? Those flexible beads are solid, I used them on a weird archway last month. @richard_lee is right about the carts too, but the real game changer for me was the magnetic screw holder for the impact. No more fumbling in your pouch for screws, just stick it right on the gun. Saves a stupid amount of time over a whole board.

Honestly surprised those corner beads held up on a curve that tight. Usually the new stuff is all hype. That collapsible cart @richard_lee mentioned sounds handy for tight spaces, but my old two-wheeler still gets the job done. Hard to get excited about a tool unless it saves a real headache on the daily.
