Stanley 0 28 590 Window Scraper Yellow Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "Very effective for removing window film, absolutely love it."
• "This Stanley scraper is very effective for removing stickers and paint from window glass in a home, business, or vehicle."
• "This removes, thin layers of paint from glass really well and is easy to use."
• "It does what It supposed to do... glides and cuts stuff from hard surfaces...I use this daily on hobs, floors, glass, built up calcium etc..."
• "This worked fantastically well, very quick and easy, nine panes of glass cleaned in less than 15 minutes."
• "Used this to clean the glass on my oven door. Utterly amazing, the handle is just the right angle to watch the burnt on food just scrape off."
• "Got this to remove years of cooked on grease from glass oven door and it worked brilliantly."

Cons:

• "Too fragile to be of any real use."
• "Blade rusted very easily & quickly."
• "First time I changed the blade it won’t stay in now."
• "If I am being picky, then my only criticism would be that it would be nice if the handle was a little more robust as I feel that if too much force was applied or you didn’t hold it in the right place it would quite easily snap but other than that, performance wise, I can’t fault it."
• "I have had one for many years and it broke recently when I was putting extreme heavy pressure on it."
• "It loses a star because of the design of it, it won’t let you get in tight to the edges."
• "The only issue is that the yellow plastic will deteriorate and break over time, way before the blade needs replacing."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Cheap as chips..... cheaper probably."
• "Good price and fast delivery."
• "For less than £2 it is well worth it and I would actually be willing to pay up to £10 in all honesty!"
• "Terrific value for the money."
• "The best £1.94 you're likely to spend if you're into scraping stuff."
• "It's a bargain for the price."
• "Value for money? It costs about £1.57 or something and it is an absolutely essential tool."

Cons:

• "Decided to buy another but the postage cost exhorbitant, more than the item cost so an alternative sourced."
• "No problem with the items but I disliked the amount of unnecessary packaging for these three small items....way over the top with the plastic bubble wrap plus paper plus a cardboard box."
• "Another 30 mile round trip to UPS store to return a product that shows up with a part missing. I opened the carton and the razor blade was fully exposed and very dangerous, no cap anywhere in the package."
• "Almost $12 is a lot for a molded piece of plastic."
• "Wish it had place for cover to be stored when in use and it could hold the blade tighter also found it cheaper at home Depot after I had already bought it."
• "While it's embossed with 'Stanley' and 'Made in England' it was shipped from Lithuania. The plastic is flimsy and the cap difficult to reapply."
• "The blades do go blunt quite quickly, took two blades to do the door even after turning them over."

Design and Construction

Pros:

• "The one I received did come with a protective cover so it is safe in the tool box."
• "This is exactly what it looks like: a stanley blade in a sturdy plastic holder."
• "Well constructed with strong plastic and a good size to hold."
• "With this plastic holder it makes working with the bare blade so much easier."
• "The handle seems nice and durable... Blade insertion is swift and easy."
• "Ergonomic design, so it’s easy to hold."
• "Nice little cover for the blade when not in use."

Cons:

• "I think it's great tool, I'm a plumber and makes removing selant around showers and baths painless and easy. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the blade guard can fall off sometimes, and it's only thin plastic so it will eventually break I imagine, so reckon it needs to be made of something sturdier."
• "Unfortunately the way it was packaged it is missing the plastic scraper/cover for covering up the blade and scraping on more delicate material."
• "it is a little difficult to pull old blades out though."
• "It does feel quite flimsy though so not sure if it will stand the test of time."
• "Wanted one were the blade didn't fall out when using, this did the job and a good size when holding."
• "The only negative is that it did not come with the safety guard as advertised, which does not affect the use, only the storage."
• "Had a few problems with blade falling out, but ok as long as you use it in forward direction, not back and forth."

Utility and Versatility

Pros:

• "Good for paint removal from glass good value and a handy tool to keep in your tool box for all sorts of different purposes."
• "Stanley blades fit and who hasn't got a load of those for a couple of quid."
• "Love this tool.. Use it on delicate to the most difficult items that are stuck on any thing you...The angle of this tool is great!"
• "Ideal for Ceramic cooker tops, and many other jobs around the house."
• "Perfect for many scraping jobs."
• "Its scraped wood off window frames, spilt paint off floor, got grout off tiles, helped remove old adhesive when replacing floor tiles."
• "This is a fab little tool, great for removing paint etc from around plug sockets etc."

Cons:

• "Don’t use for wood chip wallpaper use a regular scraper and steamer, as these get jammed and rusty with moisture."
• "I did notice, however, that if I push the scraper sideways the blade comes out of place."
• "Got this to scrap paint off glass. Very handy, but I hate that the plastic is longer that the blade, can make it tricky getting into tight corner spots."
• "One thing, be careful when you open package because the way Amazon throws them in a bag the blade guard will come off and you WILL get cut."
• "This is the most dangerous tool I now have the misfortune to own."
• "The only issue is that the yellow plastic will deteriorate and break over time, way before the blade needs replacing."
• "Its so satisfying to use as well."
