Learn how to remove sheetrock with less mess and minimize collateral damage with some great pro tips and a few 'surgical' tools. Watch Master Carpenter Matt Jackson 'surgically' remove full sheets of old sheetrock from a wall during a Master Bath Suite remodel project without creating billowing clouds of dust or buckets of crumbs. BTW This is by far THE BEST way to remove sheetrock that is fastened to metal studs with screws! A sharp long-handled knife, a special powerful magnet, a bit of 'magnetic dirt' and a sharp tip in a fast cordless drill allow professional extraction of drywall... a much more professional approach than beating holes into the wall and tearing the sheetrock off in fist-sized pieces! Use what you learn here at Next Level Carpentry to work efficiently and effectively for better results on your DIY projects.
Here's a list of the tools highlighted in this video as featured on the Next Level Carpentry Amazon Influencer's page where they're the same low online cost to you but Jeff Bezos pays an infinitesimally small iota of his net worth in ad fees that help support the channel so I really appreciate it!:
