A roller tool for use in plasterboard finishing is disclosed. The tool has a first wing and a second wing, and an edge portion of the first wing is pivotably connected to an edge portion of the second wing. The tool also has one or more first wing rollers connected to, and able to pivot/roll relative to, the first wing, and one or more second wing rollers connected to, and able to pivot/roll relative to, the second wing. In use, the tool can be pressed against surfaces on respective sides of a joint or line between adjacent plasterboard panels, such that the first wing roller(s) contact with the surface on one side of the joint or line and the second wing roller(s) contact with the surface on the other side of the joint or line. When the tool is thus pressed against the surfaces on respective sides of the joint or line between adjacent plasterboard panels, the first wing and the second wing are caused to align (by pivoting relative to one another, if necessary) with the plasterboard panels on the respective sides of the joint or line, such that the first wing roller(s) become(s) correctly oriented relative to the plasterboard panels on one side of the joint or line, and the second wing roller(s) become(s) correctly oriented relative to the plasterboard panel(s) on the other side of the joint or line.

An apparatus for use in drywall plastering, and more specifically for applying a pumpable finishing compound to a surface, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a receptacle for storing the pumpable compound, an applicator for applying the compound to a surface or feature to which the compound is to be applied, a pump for pumping the compound from the receptacle to the applicator for application to the surface or feature, an electric motor which drives the pump, a battery that powers the electric motor, and a conduit through which the compound is pumped from the receptacle to the applicator, and the receptacle, pump, motor and battery of the apparatus may be able to be worn by a user, or carried on a part of the user’s body, while the apparatus is in use for applying the compound to the surface or feature. The apparatus is self-contained and self-powered, and it can consequently operate in an “untethered” manner in the sense that it does not require any power cables extending from the apparatus to a remote power outlet or generator, and there is no need for any hoses or the like to deliver finishing compound, or compressed air, or anything like that, to the apparatus while it is in use.
