Is this the right tool for your job?

✓CHOOSE THIS WHEN
  • Blade Material: Stainless steel for rust resistance and durability.
  • Blade Size: 1.5" blade edge.
  • Handle: Durable nylon handle for a secure grip and long-lasting use.
✕DO NOT FORCE THE FIT
  • Nail work — no HammerHead, no nail puller; nail pops and brads belong to the rigid Pro Stainless or carbon HammerHead tools.
  • Heavy prying against either pivot.
  • Broad wall scraping (1.5" precision edge).
  • Big fills — a 1-1/2" flexible knife feathers nail holes and small patches, not a skim coat; a whole wall wants a wide drywall knife.
  • And it's not the tool for someone who never fills: if you only scrape and clean rollers, the single-blade 06930 is lighter and simpler.

How the pros run it

01

Two locks, two disciplines

Whichever blade you open, seat its safety lock before loading it, and fold it before opening the other — never work with both blades exposed. Keep the pivots clean: dried compound in a hinge is a lock that won't fully seat; a flexible putty knife especially gums its joint if you don't wipe it before folding. Stainless care: wipe and store — no oil ritual. Respect the flex: the second blade is meant to bend; that's the feature, not a defect — press it to spring-contact and let the temper feather the wipe, don't force it past its flex or the tip lifts and stripes the patch.

Asked at the counter

BUYER QUESTIONS ANSWERED BEFORE THE CART, NOT AFTER THE RETURN
What are the two blades?
A stainless multi-tool blade (scrape, clean cracks, clean rollers and mini-rollers) and a flexible 1-1/2" stainless putty knife for filling and feathering.
Why does that matter?
No rigid multi-tool in the line can feather a patch — a stiff blade can't conform to the wall. The 06940's second blade can.
Is it a 5-in-1 or a 6-in-1?
The catalog row says "Folding Stainless 5-in-1 + 1-1/2" putty knife"; Hyde's product page says 6-in-1 — same model 06940, to reconcile.
Does it set nail pops?
No HammerHead on the folding tools. Reseal cans with a mallet; set nails with a rigid HammerHead tool.
Blade width?
Hyde lists 1.5" (a 2-1/2" family tag also appears; treat 1.5" as the model figure until measured).

Available online at: https://hydetools.com/products/stainless-steel-folding-multi-toolsIntroducing the Folding Painter's Tools, from Hyde Tools. Based on feedback from professional painters and remodelers, the Folding Painter's Tools are designed to fold easily and safely into the handle, preventing jabs and stabs when reaching into your pocket or belt for your trusty scraper. Available in 2 different versions: single-blade and dual-blade. The single-blade tool (06930) features a multi-purpose, stainless steel blade for scraping surfaces, cleaning out cracks, and cleaning both rollers and mini-rollers. The dual-blade tool (06940) also includes a stainless steel, flexible putty knife. Both versions feature a stainless steel paint can opener on the butt of the handle. A safety lock mechanism prevents the tool from accidentally folding while in use. www.hydetools.com — OFFICIAL EXACT MODEL
