Pro-Scraper Metal S, Short Handle Scraper Replacement blades available. Customer Reviews Write a review 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Excellent! Advancement in Tank Cleaning by Matthew Boehm Comments: The Kent Marine Pro Scraper is a revolution and an advancement in tank cleaning efficiency. What used to take me 45 minutes with an alge scrubber can now be done in less than 10 with this scraper. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

This is a pretty basic scraper. I actually have this one, the 12 inch, the 24 inch, and the 35 inch scraper. ADVANTAGES to this brand of scraper such as several lengths available, short sturdy handle, 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. Since this is a handheld unit leverage is not much of an issue and lends to better performance versus the long handled versions. However I bend the blades easier with this scraper versus the long handled ones. I would recommend this for people that keep up with maintenance so that the coralline algae doesn’t have a chance to get out of control. If the coralline is out of reach then you are stuck with using a long handled scraper. 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. Was this review helpful to you?
