Hyde 209651 17 in 1 Painters Multi Tool

Product Information

In the interest of sustainability and reducing waste, here at Sprayman UK we do reuse our cardboard boxes. They’re not only perfect for tight spots, like behind the toilet tank, but I also used them to roll paint on window and door casings. WARNING This product can expose you to chemicals including BBP, DBP, DEHP, DIDP, DINP and DnHP, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. After looking at about 30 different available painter’s tools, we noticed that the Hyde was the only one with the small roller cutout.

It was all part of a full gut and remodel and in the process, I became acutely aware of all the tools that added efficiency to what can be a mind-deadening job. But for this guide, my more relevant experience is that I’ve completely painted, oiled, or stained every single room of my previous house (floors, walls, ceilings—three or four coats each). This rugged tool has an overmold handle with a thumb stop for safety and a blade that resists rusting. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. And every time I see someone digging around in their tool box for various items to pry, scrape, remove screws, open paint cans, etc I wonder what other things could be done with that time.It accomplishes all the more common multi-tool functions (scrape flat surfaces and contours, spread putty, open out cracks, open bottles, pull nails or pound them in) but also incorporates many new ones. So if you’re using the cap to tap a nail in and you’re not careful, you’ll end up with a hex imprint on the wood. Because of the benefits of the small roller cutout, we feel these failings are offset by the overall usefulness of the tool. Also, in looking at the other painter’s tools we tested, the screwdriver ability was a weak point for all of them. The reality is that the screwdriver bits are probably the least important functions that the tool has to offer, particularly if you already own the Megapro 13-in-1 screwdriver (which we highly recommend).

It has 19mm (¾") and 17mm (11/16") sockets to connect your whip hose to both your spray gun and your main airless hose. The company’s trademark high-quality, lightweight fantastic new design is known to do the likes of scraping flat surfaces and contours, spread putty, open out cracks, open bottles, pull nails and more 💯! Beyond the small roller bonus feature, the Hyde multitool has a lot of what you’d expect from a good tool of its kind. During my own renovation, I found this to be an invaluable feature and one that clearly set the Hyde above the rest of the tested models.
