Hyde Tools 02320 Putty Knife Brass 2 Inch Stiff

Product Description

The HYDE TOOLS 02320 is a stiff-blade putty knife designed for applying, spreading, and scraping putty, filler, and glazing compounds. The 2-inch-wide brass blade resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments where steel blades can rust or react. At 0.055 inches thick, the blade holds its shape under pressure without flexing, making it well suited for packing and seating tasks that require consistent force. The nylon handle provides a secure grip and holds up to solvents and cleaning agents common in finishing work. Overall length is 7.75 inches. Painters, glaziers, and finishing tradespeople are the primary users.

This putty knife is used in residential and light commercial finishing work. Common applications include setting glazing compound around window panes, packing joint filler into gaps, applying wood putty, and scraping soft debris from flat surfaces. The brass blade is specifically useful when working around materials that can stain or react with ferrous metal, such as certain glazing compounds, tile mastics, and non-ferrous substrates. Its compact 2-inch blade width gives good control in tight or narrow work areas.

Installation Notes

No power tools or shutoff procedures are required for use of a putty knife. Clean the blade thoroughly after each use to prevent compound buildup that can harden and reduce blade effectiveness. When using with reactive compounds, confirm that brass is an acceptable contact material per the compound manufacturer guidance. Store with the blade protected to avoid edge deformation.
