Hyde Scraper, 2-1/2 in. W, Tungsten Carbide (10620)

I love this thing. It is in a completely different league from other paint scrapers I have used. It works very well on paint, but actually I mostly use it as a wood scraper, for fine trimming and shaping. It's comfortable, and it's built like a tank - I think the body is an aluminum casting.

Have not had a chance to attempt to use. Was so irritated with product that after it was reassembled to the point if being able to use I didn't want to even look at it. Nothing like opening a new product to find it broke and wasting my hard earned money.

Scrapes bumps .off of painted wall better than any other tool I have ever owned. Blade stays sharp for a very long time. I bought this as a second tool of the same kind I had so my son-in-law could work with one at the same time and keep it for the future. Amazing blade is brittle, so do not drip tool on cement surface.

Every once in a while I purchase an item that works so well I wonder how I ever lived without it. This is one of those items. Before I purchased this I was refinishing the steps in my front foyer stripping the old finish with chemical stripper. I used a soy based stripper that isn't all that toxic, it worked, but it was still messy and time consuming. I purchased this tool just after completion of that project. It would have saved me a ton of time had I known. My front foyer only contains 3 steps. It took me nearly 4 days to get down through the old varnish with the stripper and scraping with a putty knife. I decided to refinish the steps leading to my second floor. With this tool I had stripped all 12 steps down in about an hours time. Made for much less sanding in the end. I also used it to remove dried landscape adhesive from some concrete retaining wall blocks I reused. Worked great for that too. Stripped paint off wood like it never even dried on there. You do have to be careful not to gouge the wood though. I purchased the Hyde carbide scraper over others because I assumed it was made in the USA. It turns out only the blade is made in the USA and the rest is Assembled in the US. I guess that's better than most. All in all it's worth its weight in gold for the time it has saved me over numerous projects. Blades can be resharpened a few times with a cheapy harbor freight diamond block.

I’ve been Paint contractor for 25 years and this is the best!

Broke the first time I used it. Don't waste your money.

Works great, I only have one issue with itWhen scraping, you are scraping such a wide space that you have to put a fair amount of pressure on it to get anything done. It is almost easier to use a smaller scraper multiple times rather than this large one.

This is the best scraper I've ever used. Only problem was I could never find blades to replace till now.
