Tube-Wringer - Heavy Duty

For years I never bothered with these tube squeezers since I had a small wood section of a 2 x 4 that I used to flatten all my artist’s oil paint tubes. Worked great - the tubes flattened nicely as I worked the paint towards the top and then folded the flat part, but the problem was that as I squeezed paint out some worked its way back down, and after a few sessions I’d have to flatten the tube again. I didn’t know it, but I was “doing it all wrong” and basically working too hard at this task.So, fast forward to a chance ad recently for a cheaper squeezer and I looked into them and decided that I might as well spend the extra money for a quality product. Price seems high, but it’s quick and will ensure you get as much paint out of each tube as possible.Man - I love this thing! Easy to use, works very quickly, and let me tell you every last molecule of paint is worked towards the top, and with just a few turns of the handle. The ‘flattened’ area is corrugated so it’s really hard for the paint to work it’s way back down. Even then, as I recap each tube and before putting them into my paint drawer I re-insert the tube back into the squeezer and with a quick crank or two the tube is 100% ready for easy squeezing next time.Of course - make sure your cap is secure lest paint go flying out (for old paint-encrusted caps it may be a good idea to ‘squeeze’ the tube over a garbage can??). Also, no worries about over-squeezing ~ when the tube is done the handle simply stops turning.Well-made and highly recommended. You’ll love it!

This product works very well on pushing glues out of their tubes. It is very sturdy. Not to be used for tooth paste. It is too strong for that kind of a tube.

This tube squeezer feels heavy duty -- much more so than any of the other tube squeezers I have seen. All the others look like cheap plastic.It is easy to load the tube, and it is easy to operate. Although, you do need two hands:One hand to turn the handle, and one hand to hold the clamp tight. If you do not hold the clamp closed, the rollers will not press down enough to accomplish anything.The clamp is also what allows you to easily insert a tube, or to remove a tube. It takes 2 seconds.And although you do not need to be a body builder to hold the clamp and turn the handle, both of your hands need to have some strength. If you can squeeze an orange, then you will be able to operate this squeezer.In the first photo, you will see what the tube squeezer did to my tube of toothpaste.Note that I used it for the purpose of showing how good a job it does.However, you will not want to use the tube squeezer while you can normally squeeze out content. That is because, while the tube squeezer is being used, it is a bit awkward to apply the paste.So wait until the tube is just about empty (when it normally becomes a pain to squeeze out more). That is when this tube squeezer will make its value known.How many tubes of toothpaste (or whatever you use it for) will it take to pay for the cost of this tube squeezer? Who knows. Maybe ½ a lifetime.But there is a satisfaction of getting out everything in the tube.I just hope that this tube squeezer will last a lifetime, and that the manufacturer is reputable.Note that, according to the warranty (photo attached), after 90 days the manufacturer will replace or repair the unit. Although it does not specifically state "lifetime warranty", it appears to have a lifetime warranty.Also note that you have to pay for shipping in both directions. It is atypical for a manufacturer to have you pay in both directions. Your shipping costs will be ~½ the price of a new unit. Well, half price is better than full price, as long as this product lasts many years.The manufacturer's contact information is on the warranty card (phone number and address of their Oregon facility). So do not lose that info. You will also need your Amazon invoice.

Bought this for my wife, the artist, after first having tried some less expensive things. She is VERY happy with it....so I am also VERY happy with it. I doesn't just squeeze the tube like a toothpaste tube and allow it to spring back, it crimps the tube as it goes so all the paint stays in the upper part or the tube where it's needed. Very efficient.

its good

I use these for rolling up metal tubes of acrylic paint. I am happy with how easy the wringer is to turn.

I love this thing, it’s absolutely perfect. I’ve been using it a couple years now and never had an issue with it! I can get every last bit of oil paint out of my tubes with minimal effort.

Great quality! Very satisfied! 🙌
