BahcoHeavy Duty 2" Replacement Scraper Blade #442

I own a ranch that is sided in all cedar shakes. Moved into the house 1 1/2 ago and wasnt sure if I was going to pull off the cedar shakes or side. I decided to keep the shakes because they give the house a certain kind of country look that we like. But man, these things were peeling paint badly. Did a lot of reading up on how to prep a house for painting wood shakes. I was thinking that this is going to take a lot of work and time and was mostly going to be in the preparation for painting. Well wound up getting the Bahco after reading all the good reviews and they weren't kidding! The scraper is the bomb. That little double edged carbide blade is making mince meat out of the paint. I tried power washing but NG. It all comes down to the elbow grease method. Besides you run a good risk of damaging the shakes with a power washer. So being newly retired I tried the Bahco out and was amazed. Never afraid of hard work I went to town on the shakes and man this thing really does the job. Being double edged I just maybe able to do the whole house with this one double sided blade. Bought two more blades just in case. Ergonomically its comfortable handle and angled head make it a breeze to get into any nook and cranny. So I readily recommend this product if you are going to take on a big job like Im involved with now. Grandson will be over this weekend to get up at the peaks while grandpa paints the already scraped exterior walls. Best to wear a face mask and hat as the dust and paint specks go flying all over the place. And on an older home you have to be wary of any lead based paint as well. UPDATE: we're halfway thru and still recommend the Bahco.

These are nicely made like most everything else from Bahco

I used this for scraping decades of old paint. Lead paint really dulls HSS scrapers. Boy is this a time saving product.

You can scrape old paint easily

This BAHCO blade is the BEST scraping blade ever made...for the BEST BAHCO scraper!!! Trying to scrape off 20 year old carpet glue that some dolt glued to a cement patio in order to install indoor/outdoor carpeting!! We were using my husband's 25 year old BAHCO scraper & he thinks the blade was also the original one that came with it! IT STILL SCRAPED WELL even being that old. So you can imagine how well the NEW BLADE worked after we replaced it......Love this product made in Luxembourg.

I'm a pro painter, and have been using carbide scrapers for several years on crusty old Vermont houses. I've tried every brand of replacement blade there is, including Sandvik (second to these) and Hyde (gar-bage), and a few other name of the month blades. The Bahco blades are far and away the best, outlasting the others several times over. There are many carbide formulations, some are much more brittle, some more resilient and finer grained...........I just scraped part of a 210 year old house, with most of the ORIGINAL paint still adhered, it was like epoxy, I kid you not. I frequently hit nails, always the case in old houses, and at the end of 4 hours of very rigorous scraping, the blade was no worse for wear. Incredible. I can do a whole house with just one of these blades, totally worth it. Oh, and you can lap them on diamond stones, if you're crafty. One other thing, these have a very slight curve in the edge, which helps tremendously, especially when there is some cup to the clapboards.

I use this carbide blade in my Bahco scraper for many different tasks. Recently I scraped the (ruined) finish off of a piece of furniture. It was easy. The blade is sharp, flat, straight and durable. It has two working edges so it should last a long, long time. Please remember that although carbide is very hard it is also somewhat brittle and the edge can be chipped if you abuse it. Once chipped and dulled the blade should be thrown out as it is impractical to sharpen it. Well worth the money.

Comfortable, sturdy and effective.

Great replacement blade for my carbide scraper

Resistente e ottimo

Hält lange und bleibt scharf. Sehr gut!

The image leaves one with the impression you get 3 blades. But you'll only get one.
