Eastwood Company 31058E Flat Body Solder Paddle for Shaping

The Eastwood Company 31058E is a professional-grade flat solder paddle designed specifically for shaping and smoothing body solder on flat automotive surfaces. This essential body work tool allows for precise control when working with traditional lead-based or lead-free body solder during panel repairs and custom fabrication.

Key Features:

• Constructed from hard rock maple wood for exceptional durability and long service life
• Flat paddle design ideal for working on flat body panels and surfaces
• Natural wood construction resists heat transfer, protecting your hands during use
• Works in conjunction with tallow (Eastwood 31016) to prevent solder adhesion
• Proper care with tallow keeps the wood surface in optimal condition for consistent results

This P66 flat paddle is an indispensable tool for professional auto body technicians and restoration enthusiasts who practice traditional lead work techniques. The hard maple construction provides the right balance of firmness for effective shaping while remaining gentle enough not to damage the solder finish. Regular application of tallow creates a non-stick surface that extends tool life and improves working efficiency.
