✕CHOOSE A DIFFERENT TOOL WHEN
Fill and skim coats — 5 inches is a tape and second-coat width, and levelling a seam flat is 8"–12" work.
It is not the final feather-to-zero blade either; the extra-flexible ExtraFlex/SuperFlexx tier (the 6" stainless SuperFlexx™ 06857, for instance) is deliberately limper.
And the .055" blade, stout as it is, is not a demolition scraper.
Use it as the comfortable, rust-free middle of the seam sequence.
let the extra width carry the mud; a smooth, even pull meters the squeeze-out better than speed. Comfort: the overmold cushion is the point for all-day corner-and-seam work — palm the grip, finger down the spine for control. Maintenance: wash and rack; stainless asks only for a square edge, which a mill file restores. On the butt: Hyde's Pro Stainless™ materials name a Hammer Head®, but the line doc's Hammer-Head roster lists it only on the 8"/10" Pro Stainless™ blades, and this 5"'s listing does not carry one — so do not count on setting a popped fastener with this blade's butt ( ); keep a hammer, or use a knife whose Hammer Head is confirmed (the 5" carbon 06771).
Asked before buying
BUYER QUESTIONS, ANSWERED BEFORE YOU ORDER
Why 5" instead of 4" or 6"?
More wipe than a 4", more control than a 6" in a corner — a common finisher's-preference width. (See §1.)
Does the double hollow-grind matter?
Yes — it gives stainless a tuned, carbon-like feathering flex without the rust. (See §1.)
Can I set a popped nail with the butt?
Not confirmed on this 5" — the line doc lists Pro Stainless™ Hammer Heads on the 8"/10" only. Don't assume it. (See §3.)
How does it compare to the 06779 and 06771 at 5"?
This is cushioned double-hollow-ground stainless; the 06779 is seamless one-piece stainless; the 06771 is carbon with a Hammer Head. (See §5.)
Fill coats?
No — 5" is a tape/second-coat width; fill and skim are 8"–12". (See §4.)
