1-1/4" Stiff Bent Putty - Hyde Tools

The Hyde Tools 02070 1-1/4" Stiff Bent Putty Knife is engineered for professional material removal in demanding automotive and industrial environments. Featuring a bent, full-tang blade, this specialized tool provides superior stiffness and leverage for efficient scraping of hardened materials in confined spaces and along intricate edges. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance against common shop chemicals and repeated impact.

Key Features

• Full-Tang High-Carbon Steel Blade: The electrocoated high-carbon steel blade extends through the handle, providing maximum strength, leverage, and impact resistance for prying or light tapping applications.
• Stiff Bent Profile: The angled blade design improves access in tight corners and under trim, offering rigidity for controlled scraping of hardened materials like old paint and sealants.
• Precision-Ground Finish: Each blade is individually ground and polished with a clear-coated finish, ensuring a smooth, effective edge for clean removal of paint, putty, and sealants.
• Solvent-Resistant Nylon Handle: The ergonomic handle resists common paint thinners and shop chemicals, enhancing durability and user comfort during prolonged use.
• Flo-Lock Fastener Construction: Fishhook-thread Flo-Lock fasteners provide superior blade security compared to standard rivets, ensuring long-term professional durability.
