Metal Spatula Wooden Handle-Length 4"
Durable 4" metal spatula with a comfortable wooden handle, ideal for mixing, stirring, scooping, and handling screen printing inks and other shop materials.
Characteristics
The Metal Spatula with Wooden Handle – 4" is a practical screen printing shop tool designed for mixing, stirring, scooping, and transferring inks and other compatible materials.
Its durable metal blade provides the strength needed for working with screen printing inks, including thicker formulations that require thorough mixing before production. The smooth metal surface also makes it easy to scrape ink from containers, helping reduce wasted material and keep ink handling more efficient.
The extended 4" overall length provides additional reach when working with larger ink containers and helps keep the operator's hands farther away from the material being mixed.
A traditional wooden handle provides a comfortable, secure grip during routine shop use. The handle offers good control when mixing ink, transferring material to screens, returning excess ink to containers, or scraping material from the sides and bottom of compatible containers.
This versatile spatula is useful throughout the screen printing production environment and can be kept at ink-mixing stations, presses, and other work areas where dependable material handling is required.
