Six innovations that make Hyde the professional's choice for painting, drywall, and surface preparation tools.

Black & Silver® Professional

Mirror-finished blades

Cutlery-grade stainless steel blades individually ground, polished, mirror-finished, and clear-coated for rust resistance. Full tang design with interlocking nylon handle ensures the blade never separates during heavy use.

QuickReach® Spray Poles

Extended reach

Telescoping spray pole system designed to maximize painting efficiency on high walls and ceilings. Extends reach without ladders, reducing fatigue and improving safety for professional painters.

How to Achieve Professional Drywall Finishes

Joint Knife Selection

3–4" Joint Knives: Ideal for first coats, embedding tape, and filling screw dimples. The narrow blade gives you precise control over compound application.
6–8" Taping Knives: Second coat smoothing and feathering. Use wider blades to blend joints seamlessly into the surrounding surface.
10–14" Finishing Knives: Final skim coats that create a flawless, paint-ready surface with minimal sanding needed.

Pro Finishing Techniques

Thin Coats Win: Multiple thin coats dry faster and sand smoother than one thick coat. Let each coat dry completely before applying the next.
Feather the Edges: Apply compound wider than needed and feather the edges thin. This eliminates visible ridges and reduces sanding time.
Dust-Free Sanding: Hyde's vacuum-compatible sanders capture dust at the source, keeping the workspace clean and protecting your lungs.
