Stay Sharp Paint Scrapers Review
Stay Sharp Paint Scrapers are better than any other paint scrapers we have used
Stay Sharp Scrapers impressed me right away. The business end of the scraper is a tungsten-carbide blade brazed onto a 3/16-in. thick steel handle. The blades are so sharp that they’re encased in sealing wax, partly to protect them and partly to keep them from slicing through their packaging.
I tried the 1/2-in., 1-in. and 1-1/2-in. scrapers to take off multiple layers of old paint (1-1/4-in. and 2-in. sizes are also available). For flat work, they performed better than any scraper I’ve used. They worked extremely well on flaking and peeling paint, and they also removed well-attached paint down to smooth wood in a few passes.
Stay Sharp Scrapers are better than any other heavy-duty scraper I’ve used, but a more ergonomically designed handle (perhaps arched) would be an improvement. Using the flat tool-stock handles for hours on end can lead to sore fingers. That said, they’re a great product, and Lee Sweitzer, the tools’ inventor, said that profiles for crown molding, German (or Dutch lap) siding and column flutes are now available. The company also offers a sharpening service and blade replacement.
The cost of these scrapers ranges from $16 to $24 each.
