        "text": "For basic drywall patching, you typically need a few essential tools. These include a utility knife for trimming edges, a drywall saw for larger cuts, various sizes of joint compound knives or spatulas for applying mud, and sanding blocks or paper for smoothing. Additionally, a mud pan, mixing bucket, and personal protective equipment like dust masks are important. For structural support, drywall mesh tape or patch kits are often used.",
