Illuminating drywall sponge device

An illuminating drywall sponge device, the device comprising:

• a housing defined by a pair of side walls and multiple edge walls, the walls having an outer surface and arranged to form a cuboid shape, the housing further defined by at least one tapered cavity having an outer region and an inner region, the at least one tapered cavity extending into at least one of the walls of the housing, the outer region of the at least one tapered cavity defined by a larger diameter than the inner region of the cavity, the outer region oriented towards the surface of the walls, the inner region oriented away from the surface of the walls;
• a grommet disposed at the outer region of a first cavity of the at least one tapered cavity;
• an illumination mechanism being removably fitted into the first cavity, the illumination mechanism having a light end and a free end, the free end being oriented towards the inner region of the first cavity, the light end being oriented towards the outer region of the first cavity, the light end being removably fitted into the grommet, the light end being operatively arranged to selectively emit light,
• whereby the illumination mechanism emits light outwardly from the walls of the housing;
• and,
• a marking mechanism being removably fitted into a second cavity of the at least one cavity, the marking mechanism having a first end and a second end, the second end being oriented towards the inner region of the second cavity, the first end being oriented towards the outer region of the second cavity, the first end being removably fitted into the grommet, the first end being operatively arranged to mark a work surface, whereby the marking mechanism is operatively arranged to mark the work surface from the walls of the housing, the marking mechanism comprising a knob operatively arranged to enable retraction and extension of the marking mechanism relative to the second cavity.
