Metal Spatula Wooden Handle-Length 10"
Durable 10" metal spatula with a comfortable wooden handle, ideal for mixing, scooping, transferring, and handling screen printing inks and other shop materials.
Characteristics
The Metal Spatula with Wooden Handle – 10" Length is a practical screen printing shop tool designed for mixing, scooping, transferring, and handling inks and other compatible materials.
Its durable metal blade provides the rigidity and control needed for everyday ink-room and press-side tasks. The spatula can be used to stir ink before printing, mix additives or color components, transfer ink from containers to screens, and scrape excess material from containers and other compatible surfaces.
The smooth metal blade is easy to wipe clean between uses, helping reduce ink buildup and making color changes more convenient. Its elongated design provides useful reach when working with ink containers while allowing controlled handling of both small and larger quantities of material.
A traditional wooden handle provides a comfortable, secure grip during mixing and material handling. The handle also keeps the operator's hand separated from the working end of the spatula for cleaner, more controlled operation.
With an overall length of approximately 10 inches, this spatula is compact enough for convenient storage while providing the reach needed for routine screen printing production.
It is an excellent general-purpose tool for screen printing shops, ink mixing areas, production departments, and other environments where inks, coatings, adhesives, or similar compatible materials need to be mixed or transferred.
