The painter's all-rounder: five jobs on one stainless blade. Scrape loose paint, gouge out failed putty, spread filler, clean rollers, and rake out old caulk before resealing.
The full-tang stainless blade will not rust, and the hardwood handle takes a grip with wet or dusty hands. One tool covers most of a prep day.
Five prep jobs on one tool: scrape, gouge, spread, clean, rake.
Stainless full-tang blade will not rust or snap at the handle.
Hardwood handle holds a grip in wet or dusty conditions.
Use the straight edge for scraping and the shaped end for gouging out failed putty and old caulk. Wipe the blade between filler passes. Clean before the material dries on the steel.
A general prep tool, not a precision one: use a caulking blade set for tooling beads and a trimming knife for cutting.
