3M Small Hole Repair High Strength, All in One Applicator Tool, 1-Pack, Quick and Easy Repair for Nicks and Nail Holes, Includes Putty Knife, Spackle, and Sanding Pad For Wall Repairs (SHR-3-AIO)

This could not be easier to fill small holes, such as when you take something off the wall and want to cover the nail hole.I just went through my house filling nail holes where I moved or removed pictures, artwork, etc, and it took no time to fill the holes. I am waiting for it to dry so I can lightly sand it with the sander on the lid--but the 'spatula' on the other end smoothed it out very well so won't require much sanding. I'm letting mine dry a few hours even though it dries quickly, at least to the touch (I later did sand it and it was quick and easy.)It squeezes out easily and is thick enough to do the job - not thin and messy. Application very easy.The functionality of this little set is wonderful. I didn't have to get out that old tub of spackle and wrestle with the mess just for some tiny nail holes! Value is great too especially since it's a '3 in one' system.One tip - don't be like I was and keep the cap off when you are smoothing out the area with the spatula -- I accidentally squeezed the tube when scraping and a bunch of the spackle oozed out on a metal table, part of the wall, and my floor. It came off the wall okay (I can put some paint on that), and it came off the laminate floor easily, but I liked never to have removed it from the metal (iron) table! I tried water, I tried soap and water, I tried alcohol -it still has a white cast there where I spilled it - I am not happy that I did that! So just be careful.Happy I ordered this!

I recently tried the 3M Small Hole Repair High Strength All-in-One Applicator Tool (2-Pack) to fix some nail holes in my apartment walls, and I’ve got to say, it’s a game-changer for small repairs! This little tool comes with everything you need—spackle, a putty knife, and a sanding pad—all built into one handy bottle.Using it was super easy. I just squeezed the primer-enhanced spackle into the holes, smoothed it out with the attached putty knife, and let it dry. It dries really fast, which was great because I didn’t have to wait long to sand it down with the cap’s sanding pad. The results looked clean and professional, almost like the holes were never there. I didn’t even need to repaint in some spots because the spackle blended so well with my white walls.The only downside is that the spackle comes out of a small hole in the cap, which makes it a bit tricky to apply precisely for tiny nail holes. A narrower spout would’ve been nice. Also, the sanding pad is a little rough, so you have to be careful not to scratch the surrounding wall. But overall, it’s so convenient to have everything in one tool—no hunting for extra supplies!I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to fix small holes or nicks. It’s perfect for renters or DIY beginners like me who want quick, no-fuss repairs. The 2-pack is a great value, too, since I’ll have a spare for future fixes.

I absolutely love this stuff!! I had tons and tons of tiny tack holes in just about every room of my apartment and they're terribly annoying to look at.Admittedly, I am NOT the fixer upper type. I don't know anything about tools or building supplies or fixing anything in my home. All I know is what I remember seeing my Dad do while I was growing up. This stuff requires no kind of knowledge or experience. It's basically self explanatory.I was a little confused when I first went to squeeze the stuff out and it was super liquidy. I tried shaking it but there's really no way to mix it. It's usable but not the ideal consistency. After a few squeezes it was no longer watery and more of a paste which worked perfectly. I squeezed it onto a folded up paper towel (since applying it directly to the wall was a bit awkward), wiped a little over the holes I wanted covered and then used the top, flat surface of the bottle to smooth it out over the holes. You'll have to wipe off the flat edge to get the extra paste off.Once you've started you'll want to finish right away because this stuff can dry pretty fast. Don't worry about making it look perfect. As long as the holes are filled you're good to go.I left the areas to dry for 30-45 minutes, though I highly doubt it took that long. I'd recommend waiting at least ten minutes. The bottom cap of the container has an attached piece of sandpaper. I was expecting there to be dust flying everywhere but there was none at all. I guess if you had used a much larger amount of the paste you would have a considerable amount of dust to clean up, but not with small holes in the wall.The bottle is smooth with no sort of grip but still easy to hold onto while you're sanding. Because my areas were so tiny I didn't have to sand for long. Maybe ten seconds at the most. There's really no wrong way to sand it. I sanded one area in the same upward direction and another area I alternated left and right. You can rub it flat over the wall or use the edge of it. They ended up looking and feeling the same. You only need to sand the area enough to get the excess debris off plus any little bumps. The tiny patch of sandpaper worked extremely well. Definitely good quality stuff.That's all there is to it. It's very simple and easy to do. So easy that even a child could do it. I highly recommend this product. 5 stars!

This product did a good job of making the job of filling in picture hook holes quick and easy. The applicator is so much better than having yo mix the little tub of spackle each time I want to fill a hole in. The sand paper cap is handy too. The putty knife isn’t that great, so I used my regular metal putty knife. Keeping this in the kitchen junk drawer for easy, quick repairs. Good value.

If you're renting or even just doing small little projects around your home this is a great little tool to help fix and fill small holes. It's a 3 in 1 tool that gives you everything you need for a quick fix. Dries quickly and very user friendly.
