In almost every painting job, there is some necessary wall patching and repair. A tool called a 5-in-1 tool has at least six uses that can make these repairs easier.
- The sharp, straight edge is ideal for scraping out loose material and removing high spots.
- The knife edge can also be used as a putty knife.
- The pointed edge is used for cleaning out and widening cracks before patching them.
- The hole in the center of the tool serves as a nail puller.
- The side is ideal for opening paint cans, and the handle has a built-in hammer, for closing paint cans.
- Finally, the curved surface can be used to squeegee excess paint out of rollers before you rinse them
