Premium Multi-Utility Tools 10-in-1 Folding Prep Tool

This is great for so many things, even if you are not a painter or even using it while painting. It is a really great scraper as it is stiffer and more durable than it might appear, it will take and hold a good scraping edge, too. The pointed part near the top is great for removing caulk and it is also great for prying smaller areas and even making small holes as would be useful when starting wood screws or cutting drywall. The ability for it to fold is also super useful. It protects the scraper edge during storage and, probably more importantly, protects other tools or materials that may be near it in a tool bag or toolbox. It also makes it so that it doesn't cut or poke you. This is the name-brand for this tool and is top-of-the-line. Given how inexpensive it is, it is a must-buy. You WILL use it more than you might imagine. It is stainless and well-built so it will easily last years, decades, or more.

very durable, lightweight. perfect for painters

When folded it will stay in your side pocket or back pocket without falling out. I loose more 5-1 tools due to slipping out of my painter pants side pocket. So far this has exceeded average painters tool tool shelf life!

I've been a professional painter for 15 years. Tried every 5 in 1 in the book. This has been my favorite. Normally not a fan of purdy but this is their best product beside Colossus sleeves. Fits in your pocket. Light weigh. Metal bottom for tons of uses. And I never lose them. People can't steal it and claim it is theirs the next day, because I stuck a sticker inside. Not for extremely heavy duty scraping, but it definitely is high quality . Even though it's sharp as a razor it won't put hole in your pockets lol. Always called it my flippy. Tried other ones with razor blades built in. Metal ones. Wood ones. This is the way to go 100 percent.

Watched a YouTube video that said "You absolutely NEED this painter's tool!" then cane onto Amazon and decided to buy this one. It was an excellent purchase, and I don't even use it much. But everytime I've run into a problem where my other tools can't do the job, this one can.It's sturdy, it folds closed to be compact, the end has a steel cap so you could hit it with a hammer if you really need to wedge it in somewhere, or even use it to tamp down an errant nail. It'll open bottles, scrape between your deck boards, scrape paint of course, remove old adhesive from your walls, and anything else you can think to use a solid, well shaped piece of metal. If I'm doing any kind of work in or outside my home, this is clipped onto my belt. It's such a good tool and I can't recommend it enough, regardless of whether you're a painter or not. If you do home maintenance, you should own this.

Second update: I purchased another for when (if?) this one fails. This thing has strangely become my most used and useful tool at work. I've used it as a hammer, screwdriver, scraper, blade... it goes on. The clip makes it always available when needed. I have beaten the hell out of it and used it hundreds of times and it's still holding up fine. Surprising, the things you think are gimmicks that turn out to be useful. Stop reading my rambling and get one.Update: upped to 5 stars. Been using a year now and still going strong. I'm rough on it and it still functions good. Liner lock surprisingly still keeps it in place. It only slips out occasionally if I bump it with my finger, so maybe it should be a lock back style but that's hard to say. Still sharp enough and bottom is strong and durable enough to pound paint lids back on. Surprised considering purdys new rolling pole locks are complete garbage.Original review: Super convenient. Before I never had my 5 in 1 on me and constantly needed it. This has already paid for itself in usefullness. It's there when you need it and not cumbersome. If the steel holds up and the liner lock lasts, I'll update my review to 5 stars.
