Hyde Putty Knife - Flexible Pro Stainless - 38mm (1-1/2")

This putty knife is primarily designed for applying spackling compound, joint compound, and putty for patching holes and cracks in walls and other surfaces. It's also useful for light scraping tasks.

The blade is designed with optimal flex, meaning it has some give to conform to surfaces and apply materials smoothly, but it is not overly flimsy.

Double hollow-ground refers to the way the blade's edge is sharpened, creating a thin, flexible edge that is excellent for precise application and scraping tasks.

While it can scrape loose paint, it is best suited for light to moderate paint removal. For very thick paint or large areas, a more rigid scraper might be more efficient.

The Hammer Head end is durable for its intended purpose of setting nails and screws. It is not designed for heavy hammering.

It is suitable for use with spackling compounds, joint compounds, putty, and other similar fillers and adhesives.

Wipe the blade clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use and dry it thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Clean the blade immediately after use with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. For dried-on material, use a plastic scraper or a dedicated putty knife cleaner.

Although stainless steel, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals can cause staining. Ensure the blade is completely dry after cleaning and store in a dry environment.

Ensure you are gripping the handle lightly and utilizing the overmold cushioning. Take breaks as needed to prevent fatigue.

The Hammer Head is designed for light to moderate tasks like setting nails. Avoid heavy striking to prevent damage. If damaged, consider replacement.
