Bad link? *

Looks like either Goodell has gone under or been bought out, maybe???

Or, I suppose the server could be out for maintenance over the holiday
week but I could find only one distributor that had anything of theirs
in stock and it was just a couple of taping knives.

I've also a really old one of theirs, but recently everything of any
quality I've bought has been Hyde--very similar.

Not trying to be glib here, but I absolutely hate breaking or losing a
well-worn-in putty knife.

Grok that. I have an old Hyde stiffy which has followed me for 30
years.


Lucky for me, I have a source (Richard) for putty knives of varying
stiffness and handle quality.
It is one of those tools, the feel of which cannot be described. I
also have a small flat pry-bar like that, looks like a WonderBar, but
way smaller.

I found a 6" WonderBar which is great. I also found that the
fantailed moulding bars from HF work great when sharpened on the belt
sandah. I picked up a set of 1.5-6" spring steel HF putty knives and
have found them one of the best knives I've seen in a long
while...after I took the rough tips off 'em. A minute of filing shaped
each 'em up nicely. 'Course, I don't shop at any of the $45/knife
stores. Y'know, places who sell Festeringtools, stuff like that.


One of my guys took one of my putty knives and was going to open a can
with it. Two voices, in unison said: "*I* wouldn't do that."
That was pretty funny.

This one is pretty cool, especially for scraping on quartz
countertops... no scratchees.

I hope the guy doesn't try it with one of those brass jobs.
