Red Devil 6251 EZ Grip Multi-Purpose Painter's Tool, 3"

Anche se usi questo piccolo strumento versatile solo per pulire i tuoi rulli di vernice, non ti pentirai di averlo acquistato.

This putty knife is almost too nice to use. It’s tough, the right size for small applications, and more than I expected for the money.

Very handy for small jobs, versatile

Buyer Be Warned!After much research among tradesmen, contractors, and YouTube videos of the like, I made the decision to purchase the Red Devil 19-in-1, Painter's Tool Model 1625. One of the major reasons is because the manufacturer extended the blade all the way through the handle for sturdiness. All this is well and good until you receive the tool and notice a poor decision in engineering! Yes! It turns out it is a poor decision in engineering to place a screwdriver bit in the base of the handle, and have nowhere to store it inside the handle with the other four bits! This means the home for this 5th bit is dangling out the base of the handle which is supposed to be used for hammering. Should I have noticed this before purchase? Perhaps too many, but I did not. That's the simple fact of the matter. It also does not excuse the point of the design flaw. There are two reasons I came to this conclusion: -- Since the instructions include the base of the handle for use in lightly hammering close the lids of paint cans, and also to hammer in nails when necessary, placement of a screwdriver bit in that very bottom base is as impractical It's not securing it in the handle along with the other four screwdriver bits. This means you would have to remove that screwdriver bit and find a place to keep it while you use this hammer tool as intended. -- Once you remove the screwdriver bit, you either hold on to it in one hand, set it to down somewhere, or place it somewhere (perhaps your pocket), until you have finished using it. Most of us move on to other things while using the tool. This is the point where the tool magically becomes "18-in-1". Some of us forget where we placed that screwdriver bit, or it falls out of the handle on its own. That's what happened to me.Say, when you finish using the tool, for hammering, it dawns on you to return the screwdriver bit into the exact spot where the makers of Red Devil designed for it during manufacturing. What you will find is, the next time you go to use that tool, the bit is missing. This is because it no longer holds the bit firmly as it did when manufactured. Again, the 19-in1 you paid for has now magically become an 18-in-1.Why didn't I return the tool? Because I had already unpackaged it and moved to use it on an active project. Had I noticed or realized that fifth screwdriver bit had no place in the handle to store it, I would never have bought this Red Devil model. Buyer beware!

Good quality and value
