What it does
1-1/4" (32 mm) stiff putty knife with a brass blade. Brass is non-sparking and softer than steel, so it suits flammable-atmosphere sites and delicate surfaces. The stiff blade gives the strength for scraping and removal.
How to use it
- Use a low angle and moderate pressure; the brass edge is meant to yield first.
- Dress the edge on a file when it rounds over.
- Wipe grit and rust off the blade; do not use a contaminated brass tool in a hazardous atmosphere.

Common questions
Why would I buy a brass putty knife?
Brass does not spark. Refineries, solvent rooms, gas plants and other flammable-atmosphere sites forbid steel tools, so scraping there takes a brass blade.
Is brass better than steel?
For ordinary scraping where steel is allowed, steel works better. Brass is softer, has a less keen edge and wears sooner, and it is safer in hazardous atmospheres and gentler on delicate surfaces.
Is a non-sparking tool safe anywhere flammable?
No. It reduces one ignition risk. The area is made safe by gas testing, hot-work permits and hazardous-location procedures. Keep the blade clean, because a contaminated brass tool can still spark.
Will it scratch aluminum or bronze?
The soft brass edge yields before it gouges soft or finished surfaces.
