ALLWAY CS6 Soft-Grip Contour Scraper Set with 6 Blades and Blade File

Got for scraping old paint from window moldings. Attachments were all useful, sharp and easy to change. Works great!

These have a rough finish out of the box, but getting a knife edge is 1.) not super necessary unless you really are going for that hand-scraped finish and 2.) adds a TON to the cost. But this tool comes with a magnetically held fine cut file in the handle. It's roughly finished too, but it works perfectly. The steel on the irons is good, but not great. It does need regular touching up, more than a carbide scraper (obviously) but this is 1.) far more reusable, and 2.) can be finely set to whatever you want to do. I can use the file to put a nice hooked burr on the edge for heavy paint/finish removal (I have been using it to strip heavy, dense paint from an ikea chair) and then put it to a stone and strop for a fine edge that doesn't last very long, but will leave a lovely hand-scraped fine cut finish. It's honestly a lot like a cabinet scraper but easier to use and a little more versatile. I have precisely three gripes, all minor. 1.) there's no "flat" edge. One is close, but it's still ground like a scrub plane blade. This isn't hard to fix, within a few sharpenings on the file, you can square up that edge and just leave the corners rounded so it doesn't create stripes like the carbide scraper does. 2.) The included file works to undo the screw holding the blade in, but only just. It doesn't feel very nice to use, though works fine. They should grind the tail of the file into a screwdriver flat (it's what I did) 3.) the screw holding the blade is JUST too big to slip the blade over. This would have made quick-changing blades far, far easier, but it's just a HAIR too big. I might file it down eventually, but if they made it about 1/16th of an inch narrower in diameter, it wouldn't have affected performance negatively, and would let you change blades only by loosening the screw, rather than removing it. Again, all of these are minor. This thing is a godsend tool. I like having both a carbide scraper with disposable blades and this, but push to shove, I reach for this one five times as often for the finer detail furniture work I do. This set to a heavy cut and a card scraper set to a fine cut are basically the only things you need for furniture refinishing.

Definitely buy this if you are stripping furniture. I had been using other tools and gadgets on a very detailed table and after I got this it made a world of difference with the ease of scraping the paint and getting in nooks and crannies.

Writing this review with some frustration.... I loved working with this hand tool. It is sturdy yet light, and the blades are really good, with different shapes, which makes working on profiles of doors or windows very easy. It is also easy to take one blade off and attach another one. All that's needed is a flat screwdriver. Unfortunately, after a few days and hours of using it, the threaded metal casing simply fell out of the tool head. I tried to push it back in, but it won't go back in all the way. Now, I cannot attach anything to it anymore, and without a blade on it, this becomes pretty useless. (See my photos of the situation) I want to give them another chance, as I think maybe I got the odd bad one. A replacement is on the way. I'll update after I receive it and work with it. If you found my review helpful, thanks for letting me know!

I purchased this because I’ve been doing a lot of furniture restoration. My latest project had a bunch of different profiles that needed to be stripped. I think I ended up using just about all of the shapes to get this done. It all worked out perfectly and was able to keep the details on everything. Definitely a must have for this kind of work.

I have been sanding painted cabinets and was trying to use a straight razor blade to get in the crevices, but wasn’t working. When I received these blades, I thought they would be too thick to be affective, but boy was I wrong. It is working great!

I am in the process of restoring an large old Buddha (most likely teak) statue gifted to me many years ago. To my horror when i visited home agian after many years, I fould it was polished with a powder additive that gave it a painted finish - all the original wood grain i had seen it with was lost. Tried paint strippers - not useful on curved surfaces, becomes sticky and messy. Lacquer tinner as recommebd by the local store worked ok - esp on details like faces, but the mess was even greater and working with chemicals was not kosher long term. I found a cheap Harbor Freight tool i had that worked wonderfully, but the curved surafecs were hard to get...esp deep ones. Sanding was an option but the layer was very deep .5mm Looking around, i found this and was eager to try it the moment it arrived. tried at a bottom/ hidden surfaces. I found that a forward push kept jerking and at any angle there was opportunity to scratch. However, instinctively i tried a reverse pull... that worked wonders and i could uncover large areas quickly. Quite a game changer. Nett - if you have varied profiles this tool is great - and easy to use. The blade shapes make it versatile and the hand grip is good too.

These are well made and are *excellent* quality. Easy to change scraper blades. The angle of the handle makes it really effective. I bought this toolset mainly to scrape gunk off the side of my swimming pool. Works great!

After sharpening, tried on flat and round objects. Removes lacquer and stain easily. Able to re-sharpen is a big plus.

I am very happy with this scraper which I bought to remove 2 part epoxy coating from teak wood. All other methods I tried gouged the wood but this scraper does not gouge since you pull it rather than pushing it. I have used the main blade for hours with only one light sharpening using the small fine file provided. Very good quality and a very useful tool. Many scraper heads are provided for different wood profiles.

Good product.
