Lisle 81780 Carbide Scraper Set

I have used this extensively for doing an initial scrape for cylinder heads, blocks and intakes. Works well and most importantly is dead flat so if used correctly it doesn't gouge our cause low spots. Its a good tool to have for sure.

I am learning when they are ideal for the job but some of my other methods are still king for some situations. These work great for cleaning up after thick gaskets have been chiseled off. If anyone has worked on Honda out board engines (and I suppose automotive) with the green gaskets you know what I mean by chisel off. For chiseling off I use short bladed putty knife or a thick stiffer scraper made for this with a sharp edge ground at an angle on the top of the blade. With the scraper laid as flat as I can I use a small brass hammer to chisel off the thick gasket. I will come behind the chisel process with these to scrape down to bare metal. These also work good for cleaning corrosion off of gasket surfaces. I don't normally use the powered surface processes because on aluminum and narrow cast iron it is too easy to round off the edges and also glaze over the gasket reminiscence and make it look like the metal surface without noticing it if it is a dark gasket. There is no one tool that does it all.

Worked just like they are supposed to.

Handle is big enough for comfort grip

I will probably end up buying a few other sizes. The best tool i've ever used to get intake gaskets off. leaves everything nice and clean.

Metal is so hard it will chip the corners if you drop them on hard surfaces. This is my second set, they do work awsome other than the pre mentioned.

This is a quality scraper almost or just as good as a “super scraper”. I use this on the job cleaning surfaces before I stone them…. Great buy!!

works great

Wish I would of discovered carbon scrapers 5+ years ago these work great and stay sharp for a long time. Y no one show me these? Must be a newer tool/design

High quality scraper!

Nicely presented scrapers, machining of the carbide tips is a little inconsistent, slightly out of square on both tool tips. That said it doesn’t seem to affect the tools performance and the carbide tips have held their edge.Excellent job removing hard baked head, water pump, sump gaskets etc on older vintage components. These are instant time savers,comfortable quality plastic handles allowing less physical effort.

Must have tool for cleaning engine surfaces and brake caliper slides

Removes head gasket material very easily, can’t believe I was using razor blades all these years!
