Putty Knife AWTools AW302613 stainless steel 550 mm blade, 60 mm width, rubber handle for facade work

The AWTools AW302613 stainless steel putty knife features a 550 mm long blade and 60 mm working width, fitted with a rubber handle designed for facade and plastering tasks. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel blade maintains a flat edge for spreading putty and smoothing render on exterior surfaces, while the ergonomic rubber handle provides a secure, non-slip grip during prolonged use.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction offers resistance to rust and common chemicals used in mortar and plaster, ensuring consistent performance on outdoor jobs. The extended 550 mm blade allows for broad, even passes that reduce the number of strokes required to level large surfaces. A 60 mm working width is suited to joint finishing and detailed smoothing. The rubber handle improves control and reduces hand fatigue when applying pressure along facades and render.

Suitable for

• Applying and spreading putty and plaster on exterior walls
• Smoothing and leveling render on facades
• Finishing joints and seams in masonry and plasterboard
• General exterior repair and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Blade length: 550 mm
• Working width: 60 mm
• Handle type: rubber, ergonomic non-slip grip
• Primary use: facade and plastering work

How to use

Use the putty knife to pick up an appropriate amount of putty or render on the blade and apply it to the surface with steady, even strokes. Hold the rubber handle firmly and keep the blade flat against the substrate to achieve a smooth finish; use overlapping passes for larger areas. For joint finishing, apply material along the seam and then run the blade at a consistent angle to remove excess and create a uniform profile. After use, clean the stainless steel blade with water and a brush to remove remnants of mortar or putty and dry before storage.

Usage recommendations

For best results on facades, work in consistent sections and avoid overloading the blade. Use protective gloves when handling abrasive materials and inspect the blade regularly for nicks or deformation that can affect finish quality. Store the tool dry to preserve the rubber handle and stainless surface.
