 Just the thing for many an odd job August 23, 2009
Morganna Wolf (Portland, OR)
I just love this things.
When painting it is great when preparing the surface (Pull nails, scrape old paint, get rid of sticky items, in a pinch it works to take out screws)
I've used it to remove caulk
I've used the butt end to pound something flush (very minor tapping in would not want to actually 'hammer' with it)
and there are all sorts of other uses it has been a great little tool.
my husband scoffed and me and asked me what I needed it for. Now he often steals it from when when we are working on projects.
Worth the money and in fact I probably should buy him one so I can actually use the tool myself.
Handy tool to have around April 28, 2009

I'm not a big fan of gimmicky tools, and that's how I felt about this one when somebody gave me one.
But, I must say, for a tool I never really liked, I do use it quite often. I do a lot of remodeling, and this thing becomes a goto tool more often than I can describe. It fits many niches between tools that just aren't right for the job.
I have too many examples to list, but most recently I found it was a huge help in removing old wallpaper. A steamer and various chemicals just weren't working on the multiple ancient layers, even after perforating the )#(*$)#*( out of them.
I found the point on this tool slipped right under the paper while I held the blade flat. It was just the right angle so it didn't scratch the plaster below, but somehow just slid right under the paper and let me effortlessly peel it off in large sections. (without it, I had been pulling little 2" triangles for hours, I had tried other scrapers, but they all gouged the plaster).
I AGREE with the other review regarding manufacturers sticking labels to tools like this though! I now just leave the labels on, but it bugs the )#*($)#*$ out of me to do so! Would it kill them to switch adhesives to something less temporary???
Overall a great tool. For the price, I'd consider it a must have in any general purpose tool box. The price also makes it a tool you can abuse or even sacrifice if necessary.
Blade is solid and straight. The handle has the typical plasticy feel - not horrible, but if it were more solid feeling, or wood, I'd rate it a 5. I just hate plastic.
 Good economical scraper. October 13, 2006

This scraper works well. Has a nice edge that seems to hold so far. I haven't used all of it's features but seems like it will be pretty versatile. Problem with this and so many other products out there is the label that is placed by the manufacturer. These things are impossible to remove. As far as stainless steel, check out the pics I've uploaded here..I soaked the scraper in hot water and used dish soap and some goo gone to get the label glue off. Took me 10 extra minutes. No big deal really but when you have to do this time after time with so many different products, starts to get under your skin..Note to manufacturers, please place an easy peel label. I have the Red Devil 6210 3" Ergonomic Flexible Wall Scraper/Spackling Knife and it has been the same thing.Stained blade and difficult to remove label.
