DEWALT 4-Inch Putty Knife | Stainless Steel Blade, Soft Grip | DXTT-2-140

Premium quality for drywall finishing

Engineered for drywall pros and DIY enthusiasts, the DEWALT 4 inch putty knife combines a premium stainless steel blade with a soft grip handle to tackle demanding finishing tasks. The blade’s corrosion resistance helps it endure regular contact with joint compound and occasional moisture, while a hollow-ground design positions the flex point midway up the blade for a balanced, responsive feel from first pass to last. The polished blade cleans up quickly between coats, keeping your workflow smooth. Built on nearly two decades of input from professional finishers, this knife translates trusted field knowledge into reliable, real-world performance.
