Prepare Surfaces for Home Improvement with Putty Knives and Scrapers
Whether painting the living room or caulking the tub, a putty knife helps prepare any surface for renovations. Sears has hand scrapers, including safety scrapers and linoleum knives, for a wide variety of surfaces around the home. Create polished projects on your own with these handy tools.
Putty knives are lightweight tools that are made from flexible sheets of metal or plastic. The precise blade glides over layers of putty, caulk or other sealants for a professional appearance. After putting down the caulking gun, grab the knife to scrape away the excess sealant. The thin and flexible blade leaves even and smooth results in seconds, creating a sturdier, attractive seal around the fixture you're installing or gap you're sealing. Knives are also an asset when working with layers of plaster and window putty.
While knives smooth out imperfections, hand scrapers chip them away. Scrapers feature a stiffer blade that can remove old sealants and interior paint with a little elbow grease. The ergonomic handle protects the hand while scraping layers of wall paper from an out-of-date bathroom. Try a wider scraper to cover a large wall or a narrow scraper to pry paint from trim. Specialized scrapers can also prep the surface of glass and wood for DIY projects. Renovate the home with putty knives and scrapers from Sears.
