Purdy Premium 6-in-1 Painter's Multi Tool

The Purdy Premium 6-in-1 Painters Multi Tool combines six common decorating prep functions into one compact stainless steel tool. Purdy is an American decorating brand, part of Sherwin Williams, and this 6-in-1 tool is a smaller, simpler alternative to the 10-in-1 range for decorators who want the core prep functions without the extra screwdriver and nail puller features.

It is built around a full length, rust resistant stainless steel blade and a rubberised ergonomic grip that stays comfortable and secure in the hand during repeated use.

What It Combines

• Nail set hammerhead end, for setting nail heads below the surface and light tapping
• Full length stainless steel scraper blade, for removing old paint, wallpaper and debris
• Can and tin opener, for opening paint tins
• Compound spreader edge, for applying and smoothing filler
• Crack opener and cleaner point, for opening up cracks and clearing out debris ready for filling
• Roller cleaner notch, for scraping excess paint from roller sleeves

Use Case

A good fit for decorators and DIY users who want a straightforward, pocket sized tool for everyday prep work such as scraping old paint, opening tins and cleaning rollers, without needing the added screwdriver and nail puller functions found on the 10-in-1 versions.

How to Use

1. Use the scraper edge to remove flaking paint, old wallpaper or surface debris before you start work.
2. Use the pointed end to open up cracks and clear out loose debris, then use the flat spreader edge to apply filler.
3. Once the filler has dried, use the flat edge again to smooth it flush with the surface.
4. Use the roller cleaner notch to scrape excess paint from your roller sleeve between colours or before storing it.
5. Use the built in can opener to remove paint tin lids, and the hammerhead end for setting nails.
6. Wipe the blade clean and dry after use to help keep it rust resistant for longer.

FAQs

How is this different from the 10-in-1 tool?
The 6-in-1 covers the core prep functions, scraping, spreading, can opening, roller cleaning, crack clearing and nail setting, but does not include the screwdriver tips or nail puller found on the 10-in-1 versions.

Is it suitable for trade use?
Yes. The stainless steel blade and rubberised grip are built to hold up to regular use on site as well as around the home.

Will the blade rust?
The blade is stainless steel and rust resistant, though it is still good practice to wipe it dry after use, especially after contact with filler or water.
