Richard All Trade Plastic Combination 5 in 1 Taping Knife
The Richard All Trade Series Plastic Combination Taping Knife (01131) is an economical, lightweight finishing tool designed for drywall taping, patching, compound application, and general-purpose scraping. Made from high‑grade industrial plastic, this semi‑stiff knife provides a versatile, cost‑effective option for DIY users, maintenance teams, and contractors who need a disposable or long-lasting utility knife for mud application and light scraping tasks.
Ideal for one‑time projects or repeated use, the 01131 model delivers enough rigidity for controlled spreading while maintaining enough flex for smooth feathering along seams. The plastic construction makes it a durable, rust‑proof choice that won’t damage delicate surfaces around trim, mouldings, or corners. Lightweight and easy to maneuver, it reduces user fatigue and is especially useful for homeowners and casual users who need a budget‑friendly taping tool.
