Tongue & Groove Essential Tools

Real-world tools. Proven techniques. No fluff.

If you’re installing tongue-and-groove on a ceiling or wall, the difference between “looks good for a week” and “looks right for years” comes down to two things: prep and tool choice.

The mistakes that cost people time

• Skipping layout and trusting the wall/beam is straight
• Using the wrong nail gauge for overhead work
• Not planning the last row and ending with a skinny rip
• No control line = drift you can’t unsee
