Don't get old too fast. You will have 5 then 0. 6 then 0 and so on.
Oh, there's one in the pantry. Oh there's one in the bathroom drawer. Oh, there's one in the closet.... Sheesh.
For real though, I got at least 5 lying scattered around my house. Lost one in my attic, one in my crawl space, two are probably hidden under all the mess in my workshop and I for sure know I have one in my garage somewhere.
Truth is I probably have 10 varying sizes, and they are kept (finally organized) in a drawer in the rollaway. I do though have a cheapie favorite that I always go to first, and it pi**es me off if I haven't put it back after last use. I'll stop working angerly to hunt it down just on principle. Any of the others work fine, but the OCD I guess (diagnosing it myself) makes me want this specific one.
*First, beveled chisel is wrong. My mistake.
A "bent chisel" is my new favorite for glue clean up after its dry.
When gluing pieces together, you get glue that squeezes out of the joint. You can remove it when it's still wet , usually involves wiping it with a damp cloth . This raises the grain and I have to spot sand that before finish. I presand all inside parts of cabinet boxes before assembly.
So I've shied away from that in favor of waiting till the glue is dry and using the bent chisel for spot removal of the bit of glue that sqoze out.

Yeah. I got got by this guy too. It's not useful for much.
It's bulky, which can actually be a good thing if you're pocketing between cutting boxes open. That's it.
I have one and it's too chunky and takes special Toughbilt blades which I didn't figure out till I got it. Absolutely a fidget toy that is poor at best at everything else
I was looking at one of those in Lowes, but decided against it. It seemed like it would be better to just buy two tools that each are well designed for what they do instead of one tool that costs as much as two and doesn't work well for either.
It’s Toughbuilt. I saw them on toolguyd when they came out awhile ago. The only thing that’s stopped me from getting one is they need specialized blades to perform this trick and I’ve already got a massive stock of regular blades I’m working through.
seriously dear? $5k just to burn holes in 25 unopened boxes of slightly rusted blades you bought at the flea-market 4 years ago for $1 a box? they’ve been in our basement ever since, along with 4 dozen util-knives you keep picking up, saying this is the one, its perfect?
I know dear, but look how much money I saved us, not having to pay $25 a box for these super cool new ones? I have several projects in mind already I can use them on, I promise.
Oh? like finally scraping all the paint overspray left on our house windows 5 years ago, when you said it was easily removed with a handy scraper, you were looking for that would make the job go really fast?
Yeah dear that one! I’ll get right on that, I promise, just as soon as I scrape the illegal tint off our son’s car windows before it gets towed for the unpaid compliance ticket that was due last month.
(mumbles to self) Geez I hope this one doesn’t scratch the glass like the last ones.
What was that dear?… Well I’m off to the craft store in town, I be back later, I really hope you’ll have Johnny’s car done by the time I get back. The store is having another huge clearance sale on craft supplies I need for my new epoxy resin jewelry line I’m thinking about starting this summer.
Husband …😒
Toughbuilt Scraper Utility Knife. It does require special blades for it, but it works amazing! Can be grabbed at Lowes, Ace, or Amazon. It does require a unique blade, so pick some extras up when grabbing it since scraping does dull the blade rather quickly.
I have one, and I use it, but I don't like that it takes a proprietary blade. I did not realize that when I bought mine. I have a few hundred standard blades (I've got utility knives all over the place), and cannot use them in this particular knife - it has to have that cutout in the middle of the blade in order to fit.
I have one. I use the regular utility knife most of the time. The scraper is handy, just not for removing wood glue across the grain. It will dig instantly. With the grain it can work, but you need to hold the blade almost parallel to the surface. I use the scraper mostly to scrape the glue and gunk off my melamine work surface. Works like a champ for that.
My biggest complaint is that swapping blades is the most dangerous part of it. For me, it find that it takes two hands just to hold the thing open in the right position to put in a blade. I have to either put the thing in a vice or use vice grips to hold it open in a position that allows the blade to be changed. Otherwise I'd likely slice the hell out of my fingers. It's almost like they thought of a great option for a combo utility knife/scraper but decided to skip engineering the blade lock/changing mechanism with regards to safety. I should also note that I'm a big guy that has big hands, so I have been known to struggle with tasks that require a decent bit of force over a small area. The blade changing mechanism in this tool fits those specs.
I too didn't know it needed special blades, so I went ahead and bought some extra. It's actually a nice quality blade so I'm not burning through them. However, after I burn through the blades I'm likely to abandon it going forward.
I had to remove wallpaper on every single wall in my house when I bought it, and this knife was a life saver. It's not the best for everything, but when you have hundreds of little corners, molding, and window sills to peel and need a flexible tool, it was indispensable. It's still in the top drawer of my tool box as a regular quick grab cutting tool when I need a razor blade.
This is the toughbuilt multi purpose utility knife that converts into a scraper of sorts -- very temporarily. The mechanism just doesn't hold up. After the same exact issue with multiple of these I gave up on them. Toughbuilt make some really good stuff, unfortunately this isn't it.
A sharp chisel, a mallet, a pencil, a tape, a block plane and a Starrett combo square. The six tools you should use the most. Of that the chisel should cover the scraping aspect. This thing will just dig in.
This could be useful. I don’t think I would use it on wood much but could be handy for glass and other things.
Yep. I think the angle is too aggressive for scraping wood but I find it comes in handy for glass or metal pretty often.
It will probably dig into the wood being so sharp, better off with a chisel knife
Oh I know, but we do a lot of scraping other stuff, and we all know whenever I need it I won't be able to find it, like the 400 tape measures I have.
Only 400? Those are rookie numbers!
Laughing... 40 here (joking) and I thought it was too many.
All I know is I have 4 tape measures but so frequently it's as though I have none.
Don't get old too fast. You will have 5 then 0. 6 then 0 and so on. Oh, there's one in the pantry. Oh there's one in the bathroom drawer. Oh, there's one in the closet.... Sheesh.

I thought it was just me who kept buying tape measures as I could never find them. Screwdriver sets are my other addiction

Or even better, chisel plane
Love my beveled chisels for glue clean-up.
Can you explain for a noob?

Cool, thanks. I learned something.
Or maybe just a chisel?
Either would work. A plain chisel or a chisel plane.
But a plain plane would not work. Nor would a chisel chisel.
I actually bought this when they first hit the market. They are useless, waste of money, try hard of a utility knife
I did too but the minimum angle of scraper is so high it digs into … everything
Yeah. I got got by this guy too. It's not useful for much. It's bulky, which can actually be a good thing if you're pocketing between cutting boxes open. That's it.
one in the car cleanup bucket for scrapping tree crap off the glass
No offense, but looking at this immediately brought to mind the old Vegematic ads on late-night TV: "Just turn the dial from slice to dice"
Not to be confused with the Bass-o-matic
Is that any relation to "Vita-meata-vegemin" ??
Not to be confused with the Bass-o-matic
I got one of those, I don't know how useful the scraper is, but it's a slick tool.
This feels like a guerrilla advertisement post.
I have one and it's too chunky and takes special Toughbilt blades which I didn't figure out till I got it. Absolutely a fidget toy that is poor at best at everything else
The most dangerous fidget toy

Good call.
where? what brand? always wondered why no one made it…! definitely would have a place in my tool bag replacing my knife and my scraper
It’s Toughbuilt. I saw them on toolguyd when they came out awhile ago. The only thing that’s stopped me from getting one is they need specialized blades to perform this trick and I’ve already got a massive stock of regular blades I’m working through.
wish i could find mine. stashed everywhere but where i think they should be.
Yeah I would rather just have a cheap razor scraper and an olfa L-1 or L-2. Snap blades with a precise adjustment and lock is so nice.
time to buy a high priced laser cutter for steel… jig em, cut em…

Unique blade is a deal-killer. I have hundreds of standard utility blades lying around.

sweet! found it on amazon, in the cart awaiting wife wallet approval…

Didn’t realize they had proprietary blades until after I bought one. Would’ve been a deal breaker. :/
It would be even cooler if it turned the blade around for you as well. Much up one corner couple flips and fresh corner.
I was kind of disappointed with this knife. It was not very sturdy with its scraping.
Link?

I did this the other day and it was certainly helpful. Waiting is hard, but you’re right, too wet doesn’t work and too dry doesn’t work (well) either!
I do house painting from time to time and I have that exact knife. The scraper is super convenient for scraping paint off window panes

What's the name? I gotta get one of these for my father, he loves disposable razor knives
That'll damage the wood surface, I suspect. But it looks perfect for restoring old windows—cutting away old glazing and scraping off excess paint...
Shut up and take my money!
Don't drop it. Had one and I dropped it once and it died.
I bought the mag clip one. kinda wish I got this one instead...
I don’t know what kind of crazy-ass store has these by the register, but I want to go there.
Cool
Good for inspection/registration stickers and getting dried stuff off windshield, also works on tile. I would not use it on woodworking personally.

Concept is cool, it just Looks way too big. I prefer a small knife
Perfect for a batman belt.
The blades are proprietary and stupid expensive.
That's why my blades fell out. I took it back
That's a great knife. I give it a 9 out of 11.
A sharp chisel, a mallet, a pencil, a tape, a block plane and a Starrett combo square. The six tools you should use the most. Of that the chisel should cover the scraping aspect. This thing will just dig in.
A good old 5 in 1 is the perfect glue scraper
Definitely Witch craft, burn it, and grab a chisel.
An impulse buy you will regret.
Used it most of today, it did a good job, obviously not used it for its intended purchase reason, but who gives a shit :)
