Selecting the right putty knife for applying spackle is key to achieve a smooth wall surface. Consider the factors below when choosing a putty knife for your job.

Blade material

Just doing a quick one-time job, pick up a TASK plastic putty knife. Working on a more extensive project, choose from TASK’s tensile strength carbon steel collection.

Blade width

Wider blades cover larger areas quickly, while narrower blades offer precision in detailed work. Make a starter kit with a smaller 1-2″ scraper blade, a medium 4-6″ flexible knife and a handy TASK 10-in-1 combo tool.

Flexibility

Include a smaller stiff blade for scraping and a larger flexible blade for spreading in your collection.

Handle

A well-designed handle can reduce hand fatigue and improve control. TASK carries three handle styles: solvent resistant no-slip FlexFit, durable nylon, and budget friendly, lightweight plastic.
