Astro Pneumatic Tool Gasket Scraper - 9532

This scraper is not designed for use on glass surfaces. It can also be challenging to use on very soft or easily deformable materials without careful pressure control.

No, the precision-ground tungsten carbide blade features 90° edges that require no maintenance or sharpening.

After use, simply wipe the blade clean with a dry cloth to remove any residue. Store in a dry environment.

Yes, it is effective for removing paint, rust, carbon build-up, and other coatings from flat surfaces.

Its primary purpose is to efficiently remove old gaskets, carbon deposits, rust, weld slag, and other stubborn adhered materials from flat surfaces.

It can be used on aluminum, but care must be taken. Use light pressure to avoid scratching or damaging the softer metal surface.

The scraper measures 26.5 cm in length, 8 cm in width, and 3 cm in height, with a weight of 195 g.

Ensure you are applying adequate, consistent pressure. If working on very stubborn material, a second pass might be necessary. Check if the material being scraped is excessively hard or if the surface is uneven.

Reduce the pressure applied. Use a lighter touch, allowing the sharpness of the blade to do the work. Ensure the blade itself is free from any embedded debris that could cause scratches.

The tungsten carbide blade is designed for extreme durability. If chipping or noticeable dulling occurs, it may indicate misuse (e.g., striking hard objects, using on inappropriate surfaces like glass) or a manufacturing defect. Contact the retailer or manufacturer.
