Hyde Tools 06986 Stainless Steel Putty Knife 2.5 in

Product Description

The HYDE TOOLS 06986 is a stiff-blade putty knife built for surface prep, patching, and spreading applications in residential and commercial work. The blade is made from stainless steel with a rust-resistant finish, measuring 2.5 inches wide and 0.055 inches thick. At 8 inches in overall length, the knife balances reach and control during application. The cushioned-grip polypropylene handle reduces hand fatigue during extended use. This knife is suited for drywall finishing, glazing, caulking removal, and general patching tasks performed by painters, drywall finishers, and general contractors.

This putty knife is appropriate for both residential and light commercial jobsite use. The stiff blade provides firm resistance when scraping dried compound, applying spackle, or bedding tape in tight areas. At 2.5 inches wide, the blade covers a practical working surface for spot repairs and finish coat work without excess flex that would compromise blade control. It is a single-unit packaged item commonly stocked in trade tool kits.

Installation Notes

This tool requires no installation. Painters and drywall finishers should keep the blade clean and dry between uses to preserve the stainless steel edge. Avoid prying or twisting forces that exceed the blade design, as stiff blades can chip on hardened materials. Store with blade protected to prevent edge damage.
