A Massachusetts maker since 1875 of putty knives, scrapers and painter's hand tools.
Hyde Tools has been making hand tools in Southbridge, Massachusetts, since 1875 and is known for putty knives, scrapers, taping knives and other painter's tools. Hand tools matter in paint prep: a flexible knife spreads patching compound thin, a stiff scraper removes loose paint and a sharp blade cleans caulk lines. In Nashville, where older homes need careful prep before painting, good hand tools help ensure a smooth, lasting finish.
We are an independent contractor and use the right hand tool for each step. We scrape loose paint, cut old caulk, spread spackle with flexible knives and feather joint compound with wide blades. We keep edges clean and replace worn tools, since a nicked knife leaves lines. We explain prep so you understand why it takes time and why it matters.
