Many hand tools are multi-functional, but for our money, there is NO MORE USEFUL TOOL than the Painter’s Tool, also called a 5-in-1, or 6-in-1, or Scraper. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will explain just why the Painter’s Tool is the MOST USEFUL TOOL IN THE WORLD!

The Painter’s Tool isn’t just for painters. It’s a multi-use, multi-functional tool that will augment the tool collection of every person who owns one. Painters, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, homeowners and DIYers can all benefit from owning this tool.
10 USES FOR THE PAINTER’S TOOL / 5-IN-1 / 6-IN-1:
1. Cleaning Paint Rollers: The curved inner wall of the painters tool can be used for pushing excess paint out of paint rollers (which can hold more than ½ pint in the roller nap!) It works for both full-sized rollers, and mini-rollers.
2. Opening Paint Cans: The flat head on the tool is perfect for prying up paint lids with ease. It can also be inserted beneath the lid and drawn backwards like a can opener to get gunked up paint can lids unstuck.
3. Hammer Striking: Most painters tools and 5-in-1s now come with a metal butt on the end. This is great for driving paint can lids back down. It can also be used for general striking on the jobsite (though it’s not useful for driving nails!)
4. Paint Scraping: Perhaps the most common use, the beveled blade of the painter’s tool is perfect for scraping paint. It’s flat and yet sturdy, and can be wedged beneath paint chips with ease. Just be sure to wear a glove when you’re scraping paint.
5. Corner Gouging: The painters tool has a sharp pick on the other end of the head, which is great for scraping paint and grime out of corners. Just draw it down in a slashing motion to dislodge caulk and paint.
6. Spreading Putty: The flat blade of the painters tool or 5-in-1 is also perfect for spreading putty. It works as a simple trowel to fill nail holes and cracks with putty or woodfillers.
7. Nail Prying: The small teardrop shape on the body of the painters tool can be used for lightly prying up small nails.
8. Surface Protection: The Painters tool or 5-in-1 can be used in conjunction with a hammer to pry out larger fasteners. It can act as a protective surface for the head of the hammer to transfer leverage onto. This will preserve trim and walls.
9. Light Chiseling: The bevel of the painters tool or 5-in-1 is strong enough to split end grain in most wood, and also split face grain in soft woods. You can just tap it in with a hammer.
10. Prying Materials Apart: By far the most useful function of the painters tool or 5 in 1 is prying materials apart. The tool is so flat and strong, it can be driven into gaps between two materials, then gently leveraged to begin working those materials apart. It is far more gentle on surfaces than blunt demolition tools.

As a career handyman/tradesman I have worn many hats and carried many tools. Flooring, drywall, carpentry, surface refinishing, etc and a 5way is hands down the most essential tool out of an *extremely* limited list of tools that are invaluable no matter the job and it can even replace others on that list in a pinch- looking at you, razor knife i just had and now can't find. I've seen guys shrug their shoulders over losing an expensive drill, but i've also seen roofers drop their $10 5way and make a special trip down the ladder just to fetch it and if you know anything about roofing or a roofer's mindset you'd know going down that ladder without a damn good excuse is a cardinal sin. This tool has so many uses beyond what's displayed here and half of them you don't realize until you improvise. One of my favorite uses is to simply use it to pry back flashing on a metal roof so I can get my brush behind it onto the fascia- gives a much better finished look when you don't have paint on your metal and can't find a cut line because it's behind/under the flashing.

Another paint tip is if your cruising along on baseboard on a hard floor and you put a little streak right in front of the board don't risk touching what you just painted. Just wrap your rag tight around the scraper end and run it over swipe mark. Gives you control of rag and it's flat. Oh and watch that curved blade when they're new. Lol Nice video! Thanks!

I apologize for being wordy. I am a KZfaq fan of yours. I am writing this to several presenters. About 60 years ago, I took high school woodshop. Thereafter, I learned a few basic things from my grandfather and father. Over the following 20+ years, I had neither the money nor the space to do any woodworking. About 25 years ago, some tools were passed on to my by parents, so I took over my garage, but my skill was rudimentary; the things I created were crude and imprecise, but I enjoyed the process. About 5 years ago, I got very sick. During my recovery, I discovered you and your colleagues on KZfaq. Since then, I have been a junky watching mostly woodworking videos. I must THANK YOU and your colleagues for teaching me so very much. I moved to a new home and created a shop on casters (I have to move cars) and have tried many of the things YOU have taught me-and bought way too many new tools!. I now spend as much time as possible in my shop and have actually created some pretty good project products and shop furniture. Without you to help me through my convalescence and your clearly understandable videos, I don’t think I would be enjoying this hobby as I do. Thank you and the whole KZfaq woodworking community.

I’ve carried one and referred to it as the Magic Tool for 20 plus years. Mostly, as a trim carpenter, it’s great for prying baseboards and casing off the walls. And scraping drywall mud off the corners near the floor before running new base.

Have multiple 5-in-1's, but my all time favorite is my old wood handle one. It's got about 15 years of work under its belt, and about forty colors of paint ingrained. But you missed maybe the most useful aspect, mixing drywall mud in the pan. Always, always mix your consistancy right, then grab your 6" knife to cream it up perfect... then tape away. Best tool in my kit, by far.

I'm pushing 25 years in most of the building or finishing part of the trades. Historic restoration or remodeling I usually will do every part of Hands-On from demolition to the final cleaning and the five and one is a part of every piece of that. if I never was a carpenter that painted what I built then I probably would have never had it. I said in a previous comment before I saw this comment that it is crazy to me how many Carpenters don't know how much better that you can make a job turn out just by having one. You also have to have the ability to want to try to exceed and do the best job possible or most of the things that I do with it they wouldn't do anyways. I I was very fortunate to have old-school dudes that were very good at whatever trade I was working with to learn from. I was even more fortunate that I was smart enough to pay attention.

legit- exact same... those rail rings that've been "in place" for 25 years are much more difficult than one would think (not to mention the securing bolts hidden under years of compacting dirt/debris). This tool is GOLD when dealing with anything if that sort- or, as stated, installing/removing liner & liner locks and scraping old, melted gaskets, o-rings, the like... and always handy to have a good ole sturdy metal butt plate to beat the hell out of stubborn things (which is inevitable in almost every unkempt pool for one/every task). I work fire and as a tac-medic and have every demolition/extrication/forcible entry tool imaginable- which have their uses for sure- but by far this, 3/8 ratchet, and quality flat head BY FAR most used hand tools...

I use a dremel to sharpen all of my tools and knives (it does everything, scissors, those electric hedge trimmers, I think it can sharpen literally everything) and I highly recommend it. It's actually a somewhat useful tool in general for places that are too tight for a sawzall, grinder, or oscillating tool. It has a much more obvious use in finish work and fine detailing but I've cut my share of fasteners, pipe, sheetmetal, drywall, etc. with a dremel. It's nice especially in lieu of a router. Anyway that's my dremel plug I promise they're not paying me lol

Harbor Freight finally came out with a good one a year or two ago at a really good price, but they last so long, I haven't needed to buy one yet. The HUSKY I bought years ago even came with screw heads that can be inserted. I keep that blade and curve just sharp enough to clean build-up and dried junk. I already have a roller tool. Thanks for keeping this to the point, quick, and on topic. I'm a high school teacher, and some of the videos I watch make me look for new ones to watch.

I like tools. I love my painters tool. Additional use: If you're painting, you can usually undo the screws on wall and outlet plates with it. If the plate is stuck to the wall with paint, place your blade edge along the long side of the plate and give the handle a whack. Pops the plate off without prying.

@briseboy 2 жыл бұрын

Great video! As a drywall finisher, painter, and for carpentry uses, (I've used it for ALL these) Tip: First thing to do with the tool is to sharpen the leading edge to knife sharpness, including the back side of the pointed part. Sharpen ONLY the beveled side, and, if necessary create a matched bevel on the inside of the point. Use a well-stabilized or bench grinder. and finish as you would any precision blade. You will find just how handy this is should you neglect to sharpen it in this way. You will most like do it as soon as you discover its insufficient sharpness. It is also useful as the go-to tool for house and even engine cleaning and prying. Whether in those window corners (and some windows have lattice or even odd-stained glass shapes, so that sharpened point will be useful in perfectly finishing painting. House cleaners, working on floor and any surface edge will vastly improve the speed of their complete cleaning with this tool. In a pinch it will unscrew and screw your razor knife to change blade, or even remove switch plates. You will need to carry less tools around in noncarpentry jobs. Ive used it for so many things that they cannot be itemized here. I always keep two, one in car for emergencies.
