Hyde Tools 28050 Multi Purpose Knife 36 Inch Flexible

Product Description

The HYDE TOOLS 28050 is a flexible multi-purpose knife designed for cutting and scoring polystyrene and similar soft materials. The blade measures 36 inches wide and features a flexible construction that allows it to conform to surfaces, reducing drag and improving control during long cuts. The hardwood handle provides a stable, comfortable grip during extended use. At 27 inches overall length, this tool is built for professionals who need reach and precision in a single instrument. It is well-suited for trade and construction applications where clean, consistent cuts through polystyrene insulation board or sheet goods are required.

This knife is commonly used in insulation installation, drywall staging, and general construction trades where polystyrene sheet material needs to be cut to size on the job. The 36-inch blade width allows the tool to span full sheets in a single pass, reducing the number of scoring strokes needed. Contractors, insulators, and general tradespeople working with board stock insulation will find this tool appropriate for their workflow. The flexible blade is particularly useful when working on uneven surfaces or when a rigid blade would bind or snap.

Use a straightedge guide when a precise cut line is required. Store the blade flat or protected to prevent warping of the flexible blade.
