Putty & Taping Knives

Scrapers are among the most common tools in every household, and their versatility makes them well-suited for a wide array of applications including removing dirt, wallpaper, and old paint from various surfaces, cleaning tiles, and applying stucco or mortar in cracks, among others. While their typical design features a metal blade and a handle, scrapers come in many shapes and sizes to ensure a good result in different situations. Putty and taping knives are hand scrapers that look similar but are designed for diverse purposes. In a few cases, they are interchangeable, but overall, they feature different characteristics in terms of shape, size, and rigidity of the blade.

If you need to work with putty in tiny spaces, fill cracks, smooth out dented surfaces, putty knives offer the most suitable options. Typically, they have smaller and more rigid blades than taping models, making them more helpful when hard scraping is required. When you are installing drywall, a taping knife is a suitable tool to spread plaster between the panels and provide uniformity.
