Hyde
Hyde scrapers, joint knives, utility knives, and spray shields for surface prep and cleaner paint lines. Hyde Tools was founded in 1875 in Southbridge, Massachusetts, and developed early drywall joint knives with U.S. Gypsum. The brand remains a major U.S. maker of paint and drywall hand tools. This brand collection covers Hyde products currently in the store.
Per Hyde product materials, Pro Stainless joint knives use flexible rust-resistant stainless blades for applying and smoothing joint compound. Value Series scrapers handle stripping and prep. Proshield spray shields use a PivotNeck system so the blade angle adjusts while you spray or roll near trim, ceilings, and floors. Top-slide utility knives provide push-button blade control for cutting film, tape, and packaging on the job.

FAQ
What is a Hyde joint knife used for?
Hyde joint knives are made for applying and smoothing joint compound, taping drywall seams, and patching walls before paint. Flexible blades help meter compound; stiff scrapers are better for stripping.
What is Proshield?
Proshield is Hyde's spray-shield line. Maker materials highlight a PivotNeck system that lets the shield blade adjust to any angle, plus a runoff lip on polystyrene models to catch drips while you spray or roll near protected surfaces.
Flexible joint knife or stiff scraper?
Use a flexible joint knife for compound and finish smoothing. Use a stiff scraper when you need to remove old paint, adhesive, or finish during prep.
Are Hyde tools only for drywall?
No. Hyde makes drywall tools, paint scrapers, spray shields, and utility knives used across painting and surface-prep workflows, not only hang-and-tape drywall work.
