OLFA’s X Design scrapers, available in three sizes, are in a league of their own. These extra-heavy-duty scrapers will take on anything from delicate removal to serious demolition. Axus Decor (who distributes OLFA in Ireland) are so confident in their quality that they offer a lifetime guarantee.
The end of the tool features a point that allows striking by hammer, which works well with the included, tough blade. This blade is 0.8mm thick, so it doesn’t get nicked, even when struck against hard materials, such as tiles. Other uses include removing paint, roofing materials, adhesives, vinyl tiles, grout, etc.
An optional flexible blade (BSF) exists for delicate tasks, such as removing wallpaper. Applying pressure to the BSF flexible blade will cause it to bend, allowing you to scrape at a much shallower angle. Consequently, the blade edge will not dig into the substrate, reducing the amount of repair work required. You can swap blades in seconds without needing any other tools.
The shaft is chrome-plated stainless steel, the head is die-cast aluminium, and the wheel to change the blade is nickel-plated.
These materials have been selected to maximise durability, resist dirt and scratches, and minimise weight. The handle features OLFA’s famous “X” rubber wraparound; it’s comfortable and prevents slipping, allowing you to apply maximum force with minimal hand fatigue. When the scraper is not in use, cover it with its easy clip-on blade cover to protect your fingers when searching through your tool kit.
There are many more notable innovations in the OLFA range, including specialist cutters for protective sheeting, multi-purpose saw blades, blade disposal systems and glass scrapers that don’t scratch glass.
