Ergo Carbide Blade Scraper with 2" Blade, Heavy-Duty, Long-Lasting Edge for Paint, Rust, and Adhesive Removal on Multiple Surfaces, Ergonomic Two-Handed Grip for Comfort and Control

This is simply the best paint scraper I have bought. It works amazing at scraping off old paint and even works great at scraping off excess two part cured epoxy from edges of boards.

Definately add this to your tool box. I have scraped many old homes with the old steel scrapers that might as well be butter knives compared to this- it's all about the blade! Limits fatigue and keeps you on the job without frustration from stingy old adhered paint. Does not gouge as much either yet takes some time to adjust your the pressure across the blace to work most effectively.Must have.

Simple, high quality tool. Handle is more rigid than some Bahco knockoffs which helps with control and efficiency. Plastic sheath is well engineered. Carbide blades are sharp and long lasting. Recommend buying the various blade shapes available for max versatility.

Very effective at scraping bark from sparkleberry for hand making canes. I used it to scrape the shaft/root to shape; remove inclusions like bark, loose knots or rotten wood; reaming cracks; and to get the twisty cane shaped and down to the final weight. That wood is highly figured, very hard, heavy and strong and the carbide blade did a tough job faster than the knives I have always used without the lost time for the frequent sharpenings tool steel requires. Replacement blades are a little pricey but each has 3 sides. I used the original side for about 16 hours before I rotated to a fresh side when attaining the point where I was doing finer work needing a sharp edge with better control. The old edge will be rotated back for the next initial rough work and I expect to get at least that much use out of it yet again.The only negative I can say is that the small (1" wide) blade can turn with inattention and the sharp point will gouge a groove across the grain. No problem in the initial rough stages but be on your guard when your are close to the sanding stage.Sparkleberry (or Farkle, Farkleberry) is a type of tall blueberry found all over the SE and is especially plentiful here in the Low Country of SC. Great places to acquire it here are old unused sandy fields being recleared for planting or for the sad future of becoming a subdivision. If you get there during the clearing operation, talk to the operator and he will usually not have a problem looking around and/or at his burn pile. With a little luck, you can get a 10' tree, in excellent shape, already ripped out of the ground but still possessing the beautiful roots which make a beautiful handle-- the only work left is trimming branches and cutting it to length. It needs to be dried for a year or so, out of the sun with plenty of ventilation, because it checks (surface cracks) when drying unevenly. The larger cracks, IMO lend character to the cane and are not apt to make it unsafe, just potentially imperfect for some people. The current specimen I am now making is ~7/8" in diameter and despite being a big man, I can not make it flex across my knee with a hand at each end pulling as hard as I canThis wood grows with a twisty trunk, not straight like an oak sapling, but winds up a flowing shape which when sanded to a glossy state (finishing with 0000 steel wool) and rubbed with tung oil, makes a beautiful reddish, or yellowish brown specimen with beautiful color and grain variations, especially in the roots and hard knots, that will be a unique, stable (I use one myself) eye catcher that will get a lot of positive comments.

I have some mixed experiences with this scraper.First off, the handle is excellent. It is large, but not too large, just big enough to have a good grip at funky angles.The issue I had was with the provided carbide cutter. The cutting surface is not flat, I have verified this on a leveling block. I am not sure if this is by design or not, but I had to spend a few minutes grinding down the slight oval on the cutting edge so I wouldn't scratch the surface I was cleaning.Other than that it is a great tool, just know you may have to source some different bits depending on the work you want to do.

The Bahco scraper is amazing. I have been using it to scrape polyurethane finish off of kitchen cabinets and it works great. The blade is super sharp and scrapes the wood to a smooth finish. For tight corners you can turn the blade so the point of the blade is out and this is helpful for getting the last little bit of finish off of the wood. I also purchased the teardrop blade and that has been invaluable for scraping some of the curved areas of the cabinet doors. Again the blade is super sharp and scrapes to a smooth finish. You do have to be careful with both blades to avoid catching them on an imperfection in the wood because this can throw the blade off line and cut into the wood. The scratches typically aren't that deep and can be sanded out easily. I have refinished an entire set of kitchen cabinets and the blade is still going strong. No sign of dulling. This is all I have used this tool for so far but I am impressed with the quality and usefulness for the amount spent. I highly recommend this product.

Caulking has to be one of the most unappealing DIY home maintenance chores. I have learned that the annual expense of paying to have it inspected and properly restored is considerable. And the cost of neglecting it can run into the tens of thousands. A neighbor did not maintain his caulking on his new home for several years. This resulted in severe exterior and interior damage from water infiltration. His total cost of repairs: Over $130,000. After cutting expired caulk, this tool is essential for scraping the remaining fragments so that your new bead of caulk will have a better chance of adhering to the substrate (window, siding, molding).Pros: Ergonomic, excellent grip, the replaceable blade is extremely hard and should last several seasons.Cons: Outrageously expensive but I believe it's worth every penny.

Best gasket scraper on the market in my opinion. Borrowed one from a co worker and had to get one for myself.
