Warner 10018 Tool 2-Inch Carbide 100X Soft Grip Scraper with Knob

In the 70s I restored Victorians in San Francisco. Even then the Warner scraper was the star in my bag of tools. This new one is way better than my old one. the carbide blade (it is 2 for 1 as it is reversible) is far superior to the blade of the 70s. Now we water blast to start the paint removal process, but one needs to immediately follow up with this scraper to really get the job done right. Of course it also works dry scraping. Still the best tool for scraping. That knob really helps me with control and helps me bear down when I need to.

All the years I've refinished furniture, how did I survive without this. It worked as expected, made taking off the old finish fast.

I used this to remove three or four layers of paint from a square steel hand railing. Worked perfectly. Sharp blade and strong handle allowed me to put sufficient force to easily scrape off the layers of old paint. Surprised that the blade is still nice and sharp after doing quite a bit of scraping. Glad I purchased this tool - it makes my job of paint removal a LOT easier!

I do alot of sanding...mostly with sanding blocks and power sanders. I've tried a card scraper and have found it difficult to handle (hurts my hands to hold). I figured I'd try this scraped based on reviews because sometimes I need to remove paint or more wood than a sander can handle in any reasonable amount of time. This thing rocks once you get than hang of it (scrapes on the pull stroke, not the push). It takes paint off like a dream, esp when I use a combo of stripper and the scraper...but even just by itself it's awesome. I finally have a solution to my sanding woes. It's a very sturdy scraper. I did have a bit of an issue with the screw on the handle unscrewing as I worked the scraper. Not sure what causes that. I began to apply opposite (counter-clockwise) pressure to the handle while scraping to stop it from unscrewing...and then some sticky laquer/paint got in the screw hole and I haven't had a problem since. Happy accident or did the screw just get tighter from the counter-clockwise motion? I do not know. I really love it, but have come across some difficulty finding the right size blade replacement. I originally purchased the"Warner Tool 10018 50 MM (2") Carbide 100 X® Soft Grip Scraper, w/Knob"...and also purchased a 2" replacement blade (# 813) because it wasn't clear if a blade came with the scraper. To my surprise, a blade did come with it. Cool. I stored the replacement blade. When the first blade dulled, I put in the replacement blade (# 813) and immediatelly noticed it was shorter than the scraper width? That made me go back and take a look at the original blade I used (2 3/8") and see how it was slightly wider than the scraper. Why would the 2" blade that is recommended be too short and the other too long? I measured the scraper width itself and it was 2 1/4" width...neither of the blade widths. Was I shipped the wrong scraper size? Is this the cheap China-made knock-off version? And its odd that the handle color is black and RED, not black and orange like on the Warner tool website??? Seems a little sketchy being that they are supposed to be made from the same mfr. The blades came in packaging with the warner logo but I do not remember what labeling on the scraper looked like. Bottom line is that the tool works great but the blade issue bugs me, hence 4 stars instead of 5. I would opt for the slightly longer blade (2 3/8", # 814) as opposed to one much smaller (2", #813) if buying this product...but hold off on buying replacements until you do the measurements yourself. Happy scraping!

La lame ne s’appuie pas dans un coin à 90 degrés. Elle est à environ 6mm. Design raté. Dommage, la lame est bonne.
