The Master Painter 2" Soft Grip Flex Putty Knife works well for spreading compound and spackle. The flexible carbon steel blade features hollow-ground, mirror-polished construction to help ensure rugged, reliable strength. The soft-grip handle offers a secure hold and added comfort, even during extended use. The die-cast hammer end can be used to set nails in drywall or drive in loose or extended nails. Small size is ideal for use in tight areas and awkward angles.
