This tool is great! I bought one previously from b&q which broke immediately, this one is very sturdy and does a great job of perforating the paper so the steam can get through easily – saves a lot of scraping time.
Brand new item allegedly but quite obviously used. Have returned for replacement as blades dull.
Does the job but yet to be convinced it’s saving any time on the job
The tool has three pairs of spiked metal wheels to dig into the surface of the paint/paper. All the rest is made of plastic, many small parts, any of which can be broken unless you use it with care. The problem with mine was that the spiked wheels would not turn. You cannot use force or the small plastic parts will break. I found that sliding a thin knife blade between the metal wheels and the plastic outer ‘hub’ can loosen the wheels. Underneath the hub the wheels run on a plastic stub axle, then a plastic washer and a retaining ‘C’ clip. This was all too tight so the wheels would not turn. Mostly using the knife blade pushed the hub a little and allowed the wheels to turn.
The clever part is that the pairs of spiked wheels (each of these is also a pair, making about 48 spikes each) are ‘toed out’ so out of alignment. This means that they don’t just make a little hole but also push each spike sideways, lifting little bits of the paper surface. Providing that the spiked wheels turn freely the best technique might be to work in a circular motion over the wall, as each pair of wheels will then follow the movement smoothly. If the tool is kept wet with soapy water it will help lubricate the plastic parts.
A Steamer is easier especially for larger areas.
Wall paper needs to be really wet to work. It is good for little areas of wallpaper removal.
You can notice that is is cheap than others on the market. But you get what you pay for.
This made stripping so easy. After peeling off the top layer of wallpaper, I used this tool one section at a time followed by a spray bottle with water. After a few minutes the paper would peel off with ease.
Made life alot easier than scoring paper with a blade and then damages plaster, this tool literally light scored painted anaglypta and then with steamer lifted with no damage to wall.
Really quick to use, the spikey wheels puncture the top layer of your wallpaper, it helps let the soapy water get to work and soften your old wallpaper & paste.
Grab the middle, press the wheels to the surface & just roll it around with a little pressure, just enough to make sure it pierces the surface, give it a soaking, alliw a little time for the moisture to be absorbed & it’ll come off much easier, yes, sometimes in small pieces, but anything not moving gets an additional soak.
Definitely speeds up the process.
This is a tool to help scour the wallpaper to assist in removal it’s very sharp and fits nicely in your hand.
It has three wheels which perforate the wallpaper to allow for water to penetrate.
The handle is plastic with a soft grip it’s quite a nifty idea but is pretty basic.
This made things very simple just hold it and move it around the wall, paper just comes off with ease, works with steamer or just water. Strong and sturdy too.
