What it does

Discontinued 3" FlipBit joint knife with a stainless steel blade, a desired flex point and a nylon handle. A pivoting #2 Phillips screwdriver is built into the handle.

How to use it

  1. Load at a low angle. Hold the blade higher and firmer to wipe and shave.
  2. Seat the bit fully before turning so it does not strip a plate screw.
  3. Cut the power before removing any device plate.

Common questions

What is the screwdriver for?

Removing and refitting cover plates, so one tool takes the plate off, patches the wall and puts the plate back.

Can it tape a seam?

No. Three inches is too narrow to bed tape flat. Use a 4 to 6 inch knife.

Does it set nails?

No. It has a screwdriver, not a Hammer Head butt.

Is it still made?

No. It is discontinued. The current 3" stainless joint knife is the 01340.
