Stanley 28-242 Flexible Putty Knife 2 Inches

Product Description

The STANLEY 28-242 is a flexible putty knife with a nylon handle, built for spreading, scraping, and applying compounds across a range of trade and maintenance tasks. The flexible blade allows controlled deflection under pressure, making it suited for feathering joint compound, applying glazing, or spreading patching materials on flat and contoured surfaces. At 2 inches wide, it fits tight spots and trim work where larger blades are impractical. Lightweight at 0.16 pounds, it reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The nylon handle provides a firm, chemical-resistant grip that holds up to solvents and cleaners common on job sites.

This knife is a standard hand tool for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors who need a reliable blade for surface prep, caulk work, or patching during installation and service calls. It is equally at home in residential finish work and light commercial maintenance settings. The compact 2-inch blade width makes it a practical addition to a standard tool pouch or service kit.

Installation Notes

No power source or shutoff is required for use of this hand tool. Clean the blade thoroughly after each use to prevent compound buildup that can affect flexibility and blade life. Avoid using the blade as a pry tool, as lateral stress can deform the nylon handle or damage the blade tang. Follow applicable jobsite safety practices when working near finished surfaces or coated materials.
