What it does

5" flexible joint knife with a stainless steel full-tang blade and a flex point for spreading joint compound. It moves more compound per pass than a 4" and keeps more corner control than a 6". No Hammer Head on this model.

How to use it

  1. Steer pressure to the blade's center so the corners do not cut tram-lines.
  2. Wipe the blade on the pan rim after every return.
  3. In corners, do one face per coat.

Common questions

Why choose 5" over 4" or 6"?

More compound and tape per pass than a 4", and more corner control than a 6".

Can it do inside corners?

Yes. It reaches a bit further than a 4". Corners get harder to keep clean at 6".

01740 or 01750?

Same blade. The 01750 adds a nail-setting Hammer Head butt.

Can it do fill and skim coats?

No. Use a wide taping knife for those.
