Bahco 665 Carbide Edged H/Duty Paint Scraper

I bought this to aid scraping old wax off my new house’s kitchen worktops. Previous owner had rented it the house and so worktops in a real state. It was a real labour of love to get them back looking great but this tool really helped cut down the workload as I removed many layers of old hard wax oil, dirt and grime. Without it I would have given up. £20 quid seemed a lot for a scraper to me but I gave it a go and I think it is worth its weight in gold.Lovely soft grips made it easier to use snd out a bit of elbow grease in without causing callouses.Love this little tool. It has pride of place hanging up in my shed.

Wish I'd seen and ordered this years ago! Amazing at stripping paint. I've been removing paint from an old composite door. Using this to carefully take slithers of the old stuff off without damaging the actual door has been so easy and fast. Might order another just to make sure I've always got one around!

I don't normally write reviews, but this product blew me away. I've spent the past weeks laboriously stripping paint and wallpaper from walls in my own home and at a friend's place. It has been tiring and awful, especially with the heat, and has taken me such a long time to make even the slightest progress.I tried standard scrapers and stanley blade ones, but the blades became dull so quickly I was going through an unreasonable number of blades or working with dull blades so my efforts resulted in chipping the plaster more than removing the paint. On top of that, a lot of effort was required for each area and I ended up spraining my hand and developing callouses.Before long I started to look for other items... scoring tools, solutions... I tried them all with very little success. Solutions were messy to apply, had long waiting times or were just too expensive for the large areas I needed to strip. The worst ones barely seemed to make a difference.I searched online and came across this. The reviews seemed too good to be to true, but I had no other options and decided to give it a try. It was more than I would usually spend, but at this stage I knew it would be cheaper overall than constantly buying more blades/stripping solutions, if it lived up to expectations.Came through my door a few hours ago and I couldn't wait to try it. Straight out the box it was bigger than a lot of the other scrapers, but the ergonomic handle and extra grip knob made it easy to handle and direct. I took it to a patch I had been working on and scraped it down; with just a bit of effort a ribbon of paint came away from the wall. It was like cutting through butter!I was ECSTATIC. I had to try more... I ended up finishing stripping a whole alcove because it was so easy. Even when there wasn't an edge to scrape from, dragging the scraper on the paint a few times would reveal the plaster below with startling efficiency. Furthermore, there was minimal damage to the plaster below - with other scrapers there were chips and notches everywhere, whilst here there was only some sparse damage (which may well have been due to my own eagerness/haste).Best of all - my hand did not ache afterwards, I felt like I could go on for hours! The blade is extremely resilient and sharp and the handle has a great comfortable design making it a formidable tool. Cannot recommend enough.

Super tool for stripping paint or varnish off wood easily. Does not come with anything to protect blade when not using it, so careful where you store it.

These are great scrapers, wouldn't use anything else now. Replacement blades are expensive but they last a very long time. Very comfortable in the hands

Very good. It helped me to revamp some old bedroom furniture when I removed the old varnish

Used this to strip paint off my120 year old front door, also good for leveling filler. The front handle really helps control it and apply pressure to the blade.

Really good quality.
