I have been through all of the box store house brands, the discount brands, and many of the better brands: none of them held up to regular use at home construction/renovation sites, where the painter’s tool is probably the most versatile and used general-purpose tool. If you need this many bottle openers, you probably shouldn’t be using these tools or operating heavy machinery. As for the bottle opener, why does every tool have a bottle opener add-on. I’d use actual drivers and for such tasks. I’ve never missed the driver and screwdriver. I chose the Warner with focus on the Made in America aspect and the tool is robust enough to experiment with in a variety of use cases. It’s what the YouTube kids call “satisfying.” In fact, I find that part of painting almost therapeutic. Įvery time I paint, the way the roller cleaner squeezes every drop of paint out is like magic. I have the Warner 3.25 inch version picked up at Lowe’s for $8. It’s got a tight enough edge to scrape and clean but not sharp enough to be dangerous. Given the price point I’m never afraid to abuse this tool and it never quits going. This type of tool is surprisingly useful for the home, DIY user. It’s going in my tool box.Īre there any specific Husky tools you’d like ToolGuyd explore? The beauty of partnering with Husky and Home Depot is that this is a tool I wouldn’t have purchased for myself, but once available, it has come in handy. How do you feel about multi-functional painting tools? Or, you could use it to close up a paint once you’re done and ready to start cleaning up.

Oh – and the hammer! The tool has a little heft to it (in a good way), and so I took advantage of the handle’s metal striking end to very gently tap stubborn parts that needed a little motivation to move. I imagine that it’s really meant for seating small nails flush into a wall or panel. I also used one of the open end wrenches to lightly tighten a fastener because the Husky tool was closer than any wrenches. I used it to scrape wood glue on a small woodworking glue-up, to a sticker off a piece of machinery, and to pry open jar of wax. I have a few minor painting projects coming up, and this will definitely come in handy.īut so far, I have used this for all kinds of things except any painting projects. That’s because the tool comes with a slick pre-applied clearcoat finish, presumably for easier cleanup and to prevent rusting. The handle is quite comfortable, and seems to be made from the same grip material as Husky’s screwdriver and plier handles.Īs for the numbers that I wrote on the blade with marker, they wiped away quite easily. If you have to loosen something to paint around it, this little 4-in-1 screwdriver might save you a trip to you tool box. 4) Crack opener – opening up a crack makes it easy to seal and patch.ĥ) Paint can opener – if you lose a paint can lid prying tool, this is the next best thing.Ħ) Convex scraper – use this edge on rounded surfaces.ġ1) Hammer – who hasn’t used the end of their painting tool as a hammer?ġ2 – 15) Slotted screwdrivers, sizes: 3/16″, 1/4″, 5/16″, 3/8″.
