Basic Scraper by Namsupak

Experience Level: Beginner

Posted on 2/27/2008 from MORGANTOWN, WV UNITED STATES

Comments: This review concerns coralline algae (pink, purple, red) cause let's face it why else would you need a scraper over a magnet. This is a pretty basic scraper. I actually have this one, the 24 inch, the 35 inch, and the handheld scraper. ADVANTAGES to this brand of scraper such as several lengths available, sturdy handle with a nice grip at the end, color coded blade for glass versus acrylic, and interchangeability of blades between the different length handles. The DISADVANTAGES are that the blades are cheaply made and bend easily (which is sad since the handles feel well made), replacement blades are expensive, and the blades can be hard to remove due to the integrated plastic notch that holds the blade in place. CONCLUSION: I use this brand of scraper for getting off small amounts of coralline algae. Large amounts of coralline are exceedingly difficult to remove with this tool, I have used up to 3 blades for a single cleaning session with good success for small build up, but inadequate performance for large amounts since the blades would bend and I would have to replace them to get good surface contact. Also keep in mind that leverage is more difficult the longer the handle gets. I would recommend this product for hard to reach places you can’t get to with a hand scraper and for people that keep up with maintenance so that coralline algae doesn’t have a chance to get out of control. Please see my reviews on the Aqua Medic Scraper, JBJ Aquascraper, Algae Free Hammerhead Magnet, Magnavore Algae Magnet Cleaner, Mag-float 350, and Easy blade attachment.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
