What ever happened to wire wool and blow torch ?

maybe youve lost it down the back of your van seat? or left it at the last job??

ive been using the toolstation stuff for years, just tear it into strips and there you go. Loads better than wire wool, works well when wet.

dont see the need for some pipe stripping gizmo TBH they dont show how effectively it cleans under the pipe steel wool and a gas lamp normally do the job or if the paints thick gas lamp and emery paper or sandpaper

Blow lamp for me works everytime why do i need another tool i"ve already got the bl in

 

[stevetheplumber]

its an updated shave hook nothing new we all had one for lead cleaning
personally its one gadget i can do without i either use the stanley knife to scrape or the back of the junior blade works if you can slip it over the pipe
if you buy a tool for every occasion youll not be able to lift the tool box in six months

That gives you an excuse to buy another tool box/bag. You can never have enough tools.

i think it has to work better and last longer than abrasive strips, steel wool or a rasp/file etc, otherwise it'll just end another useless gizmo. it probably does the job it's intended to do when new, but how long will it last before it needs sharpened etc

Used it for the first time today, handy for getting round the back. It would be better if the plastic hand grip did not slide off. All in all for the money worth having
