When to choose it

The listed 13-inch board uses aluminum and has rounded corners. Compare it with smaller boards if you need clearance near a return. The underside handle positions the load under the working face while you refill a knife or trowel.

The listing identifies a swivel ring on model 09073. Choose the hawk by the hand position and board dimensions that suit your setup. Compare a mud pan if you prefer sidewalls for holding compound and a separate edge for wiping the knife.

Questions about this product

What does the thirteen-inch size describe?

It is the listed board size. The underside handle is a separate part.

How does this compare with a flat pan?

A hawk offers an open board to work from. A pan provides sidewalls and a rim for loading and wiping.

When would a smaller board make sense?

Compare a smaller hawk when a broad board is hard to position near trim or you need less material for a small repair.
