Flexible Putty Knives & Spreaders
Available87 products
Flexible putty knives and spreaders have a blade that flexes under pressure to press against surfaces and smooth on joint compounds, apply spackle and pastes, lay drywall tape, or remove residues. They pull back to skim along surfaces and apply a uniform layer of material, or they push forward to scrape off gum, putty, and other stuck-on substances.
Standard Spreading Tools
Standard spreading tools have a steel blade that's more flexible than stainless steel, making it easier to press compound into joints, pack filler into gaps, and smooth material edges.

Nonsparking Spreading Tools
Nonsparking spreading tools are made without ferrous metals, so they resist creating sparks that may ignite hazardous materials. This reduces the risk of ignition when applying compounds, pastes, and spackles in locations where combustible dust or flammable liquids, gas, or vapors are present.
