Plasterer
Small cracks in the ceiling are usually a sign that a leak has occurred. Old plaster will become more rigid as it ages and could develop tiny stress cracks. These cracks may be hairline or small, but they can grow into larger ones. It is possible to just clean cracks up using a five-in-one tool if they are not structurally significant. You may have to use joint compound or spackling paste in larger cracks.
The tools of a plasterer include the hawk. It is a small rectangular board for plastering brickwork or making point. The hawk is a good hand tool because it prevents plaster from spilling onto your hands when you are using your trowel. Another tool used by plasterers is the "pointing hawk", which applies small amounts of mortar on to the wall.
