Hyde 209651 17 in 1 Painters Multi Tool

Product Information

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. It is missing a number of the functions of our main pick, such as the small roller cut-out, the screwdrivers, and the bottle opener. This patented multi-tool is the perfect worksite addition for any pro – but especially for pro painters who work with spray equipment. After looking at about 30 different available painter’s tools, we noticed that the Hyde was the only one with the small roller cutout. 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.

The Hyde Tools 17-in-1 Painters Multi Tool is the perfect worksite addition for any pro – but especially for pro painters who work with spray equipment. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. One can only imagine what a guy like that would do with a 17-in-1 Painter’s Tool—maybe build a skyscraper or something. This patented multi-tool is the perfect worksite addition for any pro - but especially for pro painters who work with spray equipment.I found that the wrench cutouts fit on some of the connections coming off my boiler and I’m sure they’d fit on other things in the house as well, but it’s a little awkward to use for any extended period of time. The 10th and 11th applications are the ¾" and 11/16" wrenches you need to connect your whip hose to both your spray gun and your main airless hose. By Mark Fix it Friends with Benefits fun videos HisFixitUpLife How-to Love it Painting Tools We don’t just say we love our Hyde Tools 17-in-1 multi-tool, we mean it. Also, in looking at the other painter’s tools we tested, the screwdriver ability was a weak point for all of them. Also, knowing from personal experience how nice it can be to have a quick and dirty screwdriver on hand while prepping a room for paint, we keyed in on tools with that feature as well.

The big one doesn’t wrap around the sides of the rollers to push the paint off, so it takes about 16 passes, as opposed to eight or so with the small one. com, states, “In the short while I’ve owned my 17-in-1 Hyde Painter’s Multi-Tool, it has come in handy for filling voids in the bathroom subfloor that I’m prepping for tile, removing old caulk along the base of the tub, setting protruding nail heads, removing old drywall screws, and knocking down the nubs on the wall I’m about to paint. Hyde’s newest tool combines the company’s trademark high-quality, lightweight design with a tool that can: 1. It doesn’t have the small roller cutout, the bottle opener, the nail puller, the screwdrivers, or the wrench cutouts, but it does have a stainless steel blade, the large roller cutout, the prying edge, the scraper edge, the gouging corner, and a metal cap for banging a paint lid on.This is the only painter’s multitool that we found that cleans two sizes of roller covers, and it can also open paint cans, scrape old plaster, and crack a beer, among many other tasks. Hardly a project goes by—from installing a new door (pry-bar, door stop) to building a pergola (marking the ground) to what it’s actually made for: Painting a room—that we don’t use it.

Having a 17-in-1 tool that can quickly squeegee off excess paint from these little guys is much easier than using the larger cutout found on any painter’s multitool. Because of the benefits of the small roller cutout, we feel these failings are offset by the overall usefulness of the tool. As for the screwdriver bits, they work fine, but it’s not easy to remove them from their storage slots. Can scrape paint, spread compound, open cracks in plaster, pull nails, set nails, open cans, open bottles, clean regular rollers and clean mini rollers.

The nail set is really low quality and it actually bent the first time we tried to use it (none of the other painter’s tools come with a nail set).
