Bahco 625 Carbide Edged Pocket Scraper

Well up to scratch

I used to be able to do everything relating to D.I.Y around the home, as an engineer I loved getting 'stuck in' as it were and well I think I did a pretty good job of anything I tackled, then I broke my back and it all started to fall apart, apart from the fact my legs no longer do the things I want them to do without a lot of encouragement my hands have also become well pretty much like claws so even holding a pencil can be an exercise in using elastic bands, a long story and not relevant here. But over the past couple of years I have been able to do small things, yes it has taken me time to do the things I would do in an evening but at least I was able to do it. As a bit of a perfectionist I try very hard to ensure what I do is exactly right so when I was stripping the old paint off the door frames I was getting very frustrated as I could not get into the corners or angles properly, even sanding down left those strips of old white paint 'in situ' something I hate. I tried many types of scrapers with varying amounts of success but none were the 'perfect tool' for the job, until now of course. I purchased this little scraper thinking it would do the same as the others, good in some places and rubbish in others but to be totally honest it does the lot better than I thought possible. It reaches into the right-angled bits of frame and turn the blade and it also does angles with a radius. I was expecting to be disappointed but was pleasantly surprised by its durability, not sure about the cost of spare blades though but if this continues to work as it has done so far the costs will be more than justified. Add to that you also receive a small scraper holder, some other sellers don't include this but sell as an extra and it keeps the razor sharp blades away from prying fingers. All in all its been worth the money spent and if I can complete all the door frames this spring then it was money well spent. No it isn't an extra tool for the toolbox but one that will be used time and again for a multitude of purposes, so go on give it a try I think you'll be pleased with the result.Read full review

Bahco scraper

Best scraper I have had in years. Removes old paint from architrave with ease and the blade lasts much longer than similar styles being sold on eBay. I would say that it is also better than my old style skarsten scrapers.Read full review

Well designed and easy to use, seems pretty robust so good all round purchase

I restore old furniture and this is an ideal tool for scraping clean, small spaces and narrow edges. Handy sleeve for storage is also a big help. Great value for the money

Very good tool for paint stripping...

I have used this to strip paint from an old cast iron radiator. It is really good and gets into tight spaces. It's also good not to be using harsh chemicals.
The blades are expensive though...

You don’t know you need it until you have one

Good little tool for a multitude of uses, carbide tip stays sharp for longer, and then you have 3 blades on one.
Feels like quality in the hand.
