DeWalt 40 In. Skimming Blade - Aluminum Housing with 0.012 In. (0.3mm) Replaceable Stainless Steel Blade Insert

Features:

• A PROPRIETARY BLADE EDGE - The 0.3mm European stainless steel blade inserts feature a rounded edge profile (vs. a typical stamped edge that is squared off and sharp). The compound rolls off the DEWALT Skimming Blade evenly and with a smoother finish
  
• A UNIQUE BLADE SHAPE - Raised at both ends and rounded at the corners, the proprietary shape of the blade insert itself minimizes or eliminates lap marks when you are smoothing out large areas.
  
• REPLACEABLE BLADE INSERTS - The blade inserts are easily replaceable if damaged or worn. No tools required; simply remove one of the skimming blade end caps for slide-out/slide-in replacement at a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire skimming blade.
  
• ALUMINUM HANDLE PROFILE - Aircraft-grade, extruded aluminum housings provide maximum rigidity across the blade span. The ergonomic profile provides a comfortable, ergonomic hand grip for all-day use.
  
• LIGHTWEIGHT EXTENDABLE HANDLES - The blade profile also accepts a handle adapter, enabling DEWALT extendable skimming blade poles to be affixed for work on high walls and ceilings.
