Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a putty knife and a filling knife?

Whilst the terms are often used interchangeably, putty knives typically have more flexible blades suited to applying putty and sealants, whereas filling knives may have slightly stiffer blades for working with heavier fillers. Stanley produces both types to suit various applications.

How do I maintain my Stanley putty knife?

Clean your putty knife immediately after use to prevent filler or putty from hardening on the blade. Wipe with a damp cloth, dry thoroughly, and occasionally apply a light oil to prevent rust. Store in a dry location to maximise blade life.

Can Stanley putty knives be used for scraping?

Yes, Stanley putty knives are excellent for light scraping tasks such as removing old paint, wallpaper, or adhesive residue. However, for heavy-duty scraping, consider Stanley's dedicated scraper tools which feature thicker, more rigid blades.
