Drywall Patch Kit

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a drywall repair system designed to repair damage, such as holes from nails or picture hooks remaining in a wall once a picture has been removed. The system contains a handle, at least one drywall reamer configured to couple with the handle, and at least one drywall plug sized to fit within a hole created by the reamer bit. The drywall repair system provides a quick and easy system for repairing walls without the requirement of air curing and use of spackle.

 a handle formed from a main body having a first end and a second end;   at least one reamer bit releasably securable to the second end of said handle, said reamer bit constructed and arranged to form a sized hole in drywall; and   at least one drywall plug having a tapered body dimensioned for frictional engagement in the sized hole and a flat surface to be positioned flush with a drywall surface.   
     
     
         2 . The drywall patch kit according to  claim 1  wherein said main body has a generally cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         3 . The drywall patch kit according to  claim 1  wherein said main body includes a compartment accessed by a removable cap releasably securable to the first end, said compartment sized and shaped to hold at least one reamer bit therein. 
     
     
         4 . The drywall patch kit according to  claim 1  wherein said second end of said main body includes a tri-lobe pocket for receiving a reciprocal end of said reamer bit. 
     
     
         5 . The drywall patch kit according to  claim 1  wherein each said reamer bit has a plurality of reaming flutes forming a cutting edge extending from a pointed tip to a depth stop, said reaming flutes arranged to cut a hole in drywall of a predetermined size upon rotation of said reamer bit. 
     
     
         6 . The drywall patch kit according to  claim 5  wherein said flutes are straight. 
     
     
         7 . The drywall patch kit according to  claim 5  wherein said flutes are angled. 
     
     
         8 . The drywall patch kit according to  claim 1  wherein said drywall plug is constructed from an unfinished paintable material.
