Stanley 28-240 Flexible Putty Knife 1.25 in Nylon Handle

Product Description

The STANLEY 28-240 is a flexible putty knife designed for spreading, smoothing, and applying compounds across a range of trade and maintenance tasks. The blade flexes under pressure, making it well suited for feathering joint compound, applying glazing putty, or spreading patching materials over irregular surfaces. The nylon handle provides a secure grip during extended use. At 1.25 inches wide, the blade is sized for detail work and tight-clearance applications. Weighing just 0.15 pounds, the tool is easy to maneuver for single-hand operation. This knife is a standard consumable kept in the tool bags of drywall finishers, painters, maintenance techs, and general tradespeople.

The 28-240 fits common application scenarios in residential and light commercial maintenance, finish work, and renovation. The 1.25-inch blade width handles narrow fills, seams, and spot repairs where wider knives cannot reach cleanly. It is also a practical choice for pool and mechanical room work where surface patching or gasket compound application is needed in confined areas.

Installation Notes

No power tools or shutoff procedures are required for putty knife use. Clean the blade thoroughly after each use to prevent compound buildup that can affect blade flex and edge contact. Do not use the blade as a pry tool, as this can permanently deform the flexible blade. Store flat or hang to avoid bending the blade during storage.
