Cramer K11614 40402 Fugi Kit Silicone Removal and Profiling Tool

Excellent, does the job

I used these tools to replace the seal around a bath and along some joins between cabinets and it works well. I hadn't used a "silicon profiling tool" before and it's much easier than trying to apply a neat bead or using your finger. However, as other reviewers have pointed out, there are no replacement blades so it's ideally suited for one off jobs, rather than anyone who needs to regularly remove and replace silicon seals. Clear instructions in English would have been useful but mine arrived in German packaging without an English translation so here's my translation of the instructions for anyone else who has the same problem: JOINT TOOL WITH JOINT KNIFE For clean and long-lasting joints. Silicone can be processed without release agent (detergent). This helps to achieve better bonding and prevents fungal formation under the joint. Even deformities can be reworked without the whole gap having to be removed again. Instructions for use: Remove the old joints with the joint knife and the saw-tooth blade, using a scraper blade for residues. Wear a fine dust mask suitable for mould joints. Use silicone remover on scratch-sensitive surfaces. Before grouting, clean the base. Then select the appropriate profile and apply the appropriate amount of silicone on a length of 60-120 cm. Press the FUGI seamlessly against the wall and the floor and pull it off with the smooth side. Start with a new section at the settling point. To bridge grooves, hold the FUGI slightly oblique. Corners: First, grout all vertical wall reveals. After curing, create the horizontal joints, always starting in the corner. Clean the FUGI with household paper after use. Four stars because spare blades are not readily available, or included, and the non-English packaging.

Yes, you can use a stanley knife to scrape off old sealant, but this little beauty is much easier to use and you are less likely to slice yourself open with it. It comes with two blades - one sharp, which has a protective sleeve and is good for the final finish, and a toothed one, which is good for dragging out big lumps of old sealant. It certainly made getting into the tight corners of our shower much easier.

Scraper works well. Fugi is a bit of a compromise. very well made but the sides are too short and the sealant rides up over the edge when wiping the Fugi over it. Unless your an expert (and so I guess wouldn't need a Fugi anyway) I suggest you pay more and get the larger pack with the 2x square Fugis in it. I'm sure they would work very well and I would be giving those 5 stars.

Have not used it yet, its lined up for a future in hand job perhaps. I have lots of silicon about the place as much as I look on it is DIY stuff. Its on the UPVC windows, around the work tops and all over the bathroom and shower. I have had a Fugi set of smoothers for a few years now and like to use them when I can. The reason being is that silicon and I like each other in an odd sort of way and we stick together, unfortunately usually all over me instead of the job in hand. The soapy water and finger trick doesn't seem to work with me very well. But Fugi seems to do it fairly fine.

Removing silicone is a nightmare but this did make a big difference. Use the cutting blade first along both sides of the silicone bead and then the rake to rip it out. You may need to go along with a stanley blade afterwards to get a perfect finish but this little gadget makes the chore so much easier.

Great product and it certainly works. Good value solution for a small silicone job. However next time I'd follow advice I read on the internet and use WD40 to soften and buy a knife scrapping tool that uses standard Stanley blades due to new the blades doing a much better job. FUGI tool is excellent and for my small job worked well, but buy a larger set of the FUGI tools if I was doing a large amount of work though, this one has different sizes on each edge and need to make sure you're always using the correct one.

Not worth the money I'm afraid. The serated blade went blunt very quickly and inspire of the price, no spare serated blades were supplied.

Decepcionado , no vale para lo que tiene que ser, no retira la silicona sobrante y lo extiende por los bordes, vamos, un desastre de compra, mejor usas el dedo como siempre y te ahorras 12€

Ich bin totaler Laie. Das Fugenentfernen hat geklappt. Man muss nur den Dreh raus haben. Rückstandslos ging es bei mir nicht, aber den Rest (weil zu faul für Fisselarbeit, was mit dem Messer möglich gewesen wäre) habe ich mit einem Entferner abbekommen. Nur vorsicht beim Auspacken. Nicht gross nachgedacht. Paket angeschnitten und wollte mal eben das Werkzeug raus ziehen. Direkt in die Klinge gepackt! Die Plastikschutzhülle war direkt durch und ich hatte einen derben Schnitt in der Hand. Schmerzhaft, doof, aber die Schutzhülle dürfte so nicht kaputt gehen

De advertentie was niet helemaal correct of duidelijk, maar wat ik ontving was erg basaal en naar verhouding duur. Voor "Cramer" betaal je de hoofdprijs

l'ho utilizzato per rimuovere il vecchio sigillante attorno al box doccia,mi ha risparmiato tanta fatica aiutandomi a rimuoverlo bene in tutti gli angoli, cosi' da avere una superficie pulita sulla quale apporre il nuovo sigillante.utile

Ich habe zum ersten Mal Silikonfugen selbst entfernt und war sehr enttäuscht, dass es bei Amazon keine Geräte mit wirklich guter Bewertung dafür gab. Deswegen war ich mal mutig und hab dieses noch unbewertete Fugenmesser gekauft um es selbst zu testen und war positiv überrascht. Natürlich hat die Arbeit nicht wirklich Spaß gemacht und es hat auch lange gedauert. Aber das Messer erfüllt seinen Zweck recht gut. Wobei es wahrscheinlich eher für Anfänger geeignet ist, die hier eh rohe Kräfte walten lassen müssen wegen mangelnder Technik. Fürs grobe war das zackige Messer sehr gut geeignet und für die Feinarbeit ist dann noch ein Rasierklingen-Aufsatz dabei. Insgesamt habe ich damit gut 8 Meter Silikon erntfernt und das Zackenmesser sah so aus, als würde es sogar noch so eine Aktion durchstehen. Der feinere Aufsatz war allerdings am Ende hinüber. Aber statt dessen könnte man auch durchaus ein Teppichmesser nehmen für die Feinarbeit. Also für Anfänger eine klare Empfehlung! Profis haben so was wahrscheinlich eh nicht nötig und regeln das Ganze elegant einfach nur mit nem Teppichmesser, aber ich hätte damit sicher meine Schwierigkeiten gehabt.
