What began as a small New England manufacturer grew into a nationally recognized brand by focusing on one thing: tools that perform. Hyde's philosophy has always centered on helping professionals achieve a better finish — whether that means a smoother wall, a cleaner cut, or a more precise prep surface. That focus is reflected in every product they make, from entry-level options to innovative designs aimed at pushing professional results further.</p><p>At the heart of the Hyde lineup are their industry-leading <a href="/7391-hyde-tools-scrapers-putty-knives-painter-tools-200900">scrapers, putty knives, and painter tools</a>. These are the tools that built Hyde's reputation. From flexible broad knives to stiff-blade scrapers and multi-function painter's tools, Hyde designs each piece with the professional user in mind. Ergonomic handles, high-carbon steel blades, and thoughtful geometry all contribute to less fatigue and more consistent results across long working days.</p><h3>Innovation Meets Tradition</h3><p>Hyde doesn't rest on its heritage. The brand has continuously introduced innovative designs that take classic tools to the next level. Products like the Dual Blade Folding Painters Tool and the Flexi-Frame roller system demonstrate Hyde's ability to blend time-tested construction with modern engineering. This spirit of innovation keeps Hyde relevant and trusted among today's demanding tradespeople.</p><p>Hyde also produces a strong line of <a href="/7391-hyde-tools-cutters-utility-knives-200298">cutters and utility knives</a> — tools built for precision scoring, trimming, and cutting tasks across a wide range of materials.

So far all is well. I am very happy. Just a side note, I did just place my order. I haven't actually received the product. This is an update. I am a very happy shopper. The only complaint I have is when I would check on my order to see if it had been ship

Great company. Fast shipping and excellent communication. AAA+++

good

Great prices and fast shipping. I had a question about the product and the had all the answers. I would definitely shop here again.

** Update 4/18/2012<br>Everything arrived in several different shipments. I did experience a problem with some FelPro Headbolts that I had ordered. I ordered two and only received one, but after a short phone call with Paul from shipping, the problem was fixed and my second set of bolts were shipped.<br><br>They had the cheapest price that I could find on several products. I did not like the order confirmations on there website as I had to copy and paste to search for my tracking number. I am supposed to receive my order today and I am scared because the two weights do not match up. Autoplicity says 37.7 pounds and fedex says 3.8 pounds. Maybe there is more than one tracking number and I just do not know.
