Quality


Handle has good grip and it works great to remove old gasket pieces without damaging aluminum blocks.


Works great on aluminum and cleans up a surface quicker than any other method i've found!


Standard removal techniques weren't working, a flat screw driver was dangerous.


I started to use a rotary tool, but stopped quickly as it can quickly remove metal and damage your surface.

Shipping


I bought a small one at first to see if it was worth it, and quickly ordered this large scraper shortly after.

Packaging/appearance


One word of caution just like the packaging states, though.

Competitiveness


Great alternative to the super scraper at a reasonable price.


Mac and marco had these exact same scrapers rebranded on the truck for around 70 bucks so these were a great value.


I end up doing a lot of cylinder head work on cummins diesels and dodge gas v6 engines.
