"I was so happy with the job this wonder-glove did on our shower ordered two more-one dedicated to the toilet and the other for counter surfaces."

"had a hole at the base of the thumb, the weave was separated in the material."
"I wouldn't recommend this product."

"This product worked awesome!"
"HOWEVER, I must take exception to some of the front label claims: "Safe for Indoor Use" and "No Harsh Fumes"; the product name "Citristrip" with the cute image of an Orange makes the product seem inoccuous. As for the "Safe for Indoor Use" claim, the product is safe but ONLY IF ADEQUATE VENTILATION is provided; just opening the windows is NOT sufficient without forced ventilation. which will make you think that a dozen pigs/boars have 'done their duty' around your feet) to discourage accidental over exposure to the fumes!"
"Not having the money to hire someone to strip it back off, I started doing research and one of the instruction video's I watched on how to remove ceramic paint showed this product and how easy it was."
"I was able to strip an entire table in one morning, and finish staining it by night."
"This is a great product to use to strip paint from so many different surfaces."
"understand that this is safe-ER, but not anything you want on your skin for a long time."
"I totally wasted my money on this as I was trying to remove some light spray paint off a 20 gauge shotgun that I was renovating."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"This tool is great for just about any type of scraping, smoothing, or cornering you may need to do on a DIY project."
"A must have in the tool arsenal for any handyman."
"I was looking for a cheap and effective tool for scraping the dried on, greasy gunk from my stainless steel Weber grill grates and this perfectly fit the bill."
"It's just pointy enough to start separation and the bevel lets me slowly work the piece up without applying too much pressure and risk damaging any delicate parts."
"(sorry) This one looks well made, correctly sized (some are too big or small) and has a metal end on the handle which you can use to whack anything you suddenly find sticking out while you are painting. (6th way) If you ever paint anything, or work on windows and you don't have one of these, you are crazy."
"While this does open paint lids, the handle is plastic and it does not really stand up to much abuse."
"I discovered this kind of tool a few years ago when I was doing some Sheetrock work and it's really nice unfortunately the one that I purchased had a sticker on the side of it that really doesn't want to come off without leaving part of itself and that's not very smart."
"This tool saved several ounces of paint when cleaning paint covers by "brushing " the cover with the curved portion of this tool."
Best Hand Caulking Guns
Caulking guns, also called caulk or cartridge guns, dispense a controlled flow of products such as caulk, sealants, and adhesives from a tube or cartridge. A manual caulking gun consists of a frame which holds the tube, a trigger, and a rod which moves forward when the trigger is depressed, dispensing the product. Air-powered or pneumatic caulking guns also have a frame and a trigger, but are used with an air pressure regulator that pushes the product from the tube using air pressure instead of a rod. Smooth pressure rod requires less force and is quieter than a ratchet-style pressure rod. Rod retracts after each pull of the trigger to help prevent dripping.

"Sharp knife or razor blade leaves a much cleaner edge, but the cutter works good enough for what I needed."
"I did have a little bit of dribble; not completely drip free as others have claimed; but I was using Black Silicone I by GE, which is a little hard to find, and pretty far from the common usage, so that may have been why."
"I absolutely despise caulking, so messy, the bead of caulk that would always ooze out of the tube after running a bead when using a cheap gun."
"This review is for the Newborn 930-GTD Drip-Free Smooth Hex Rod Cradle Caulking Gun with Gator Trigger Comfort Grip, 1/10 Gallon Cartridge, 10:1 Thrust Ratio."
"The design is superb, when you release the trigger, pressure is automatically also released....so, no oozing, glopping or mess....complete control with one hand."
"If there would one thing I would change, it would be to allow the plunger hook to rotate out of the way when needed."
"I am still amazed at how easy it is to use caulk now that I have this gun. I also like that it does not keep squeezing out caulk after you let go of the trigger."

This Wagner wallpaper steamer is the absolute best way to remove wall paper. And on a final note, the small amount of water that does run down the wallpaper actually helps with the removal."
"We got this for the hard and nasty job of removing old (60 - 80 years) black floor adeisive from a 100+ year fir floor."
"I made a steam chamber out of 5'x6" duct pipe (the kind you can buy at local hardware stores and 'snap' together yourself to create the tube/pipe), and cut a small hole to place the end of the hose in."
"(It did take a LONG time to heat up; we were almost about to turn it off and return it, but after a while it finally steamed up.)."
"As the name suggests, it's a device to steam hay to kill mold and other nasties before you feed it to a horse. It heats up quickly, runs for more than an hour continuously on a full tank, and is easy to maintain (basically just make sure to dump out the leftover water, and descale it every so often)."
"I approached removing the paper from a fairly large bathroom with great trepidation, but it turned out to be a breeze."
"This machine works great and is the best we've used to get the wallpaper off."
"It was still hot and there were not obstructions in the hose and we're using distilled water as the manual recommends. Having been in the electronics industry for years, I believe the company may have bought a bad batch of thermisters."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Perfect for my patio, perfect outdoor curtains!"
"despite seeing other reviews indicating disappointment that their drop cloth was smaller than described and expected, the dimensions of the canvas we received were 9 x 12, as expected, though that is of no concern for us, as we had room to spare and intend to shrink it with a wash and dry, as a step in our lil’ canvas project process. we choose a cotton canvas drop cloth, rather than a canvas tarp to eliminate the grommets that make it look like a tarp... this way, we get a decorative canvas and more of that "sail" look that we desired."
"I've used these on multiple home renovation products both indoors and out and they're always a hit with my customers...great quality and an expensive way to make a real impact."
"So I washed and dried them as suggested from a previous review."
"Its not sealed on the edges as we need access to the door in the cold section so im sure our heat bill will still be fairly high - but not what it would be without the drop cloth & at least we are able to stay warm."
"Instead of cutting the fabric, I snip the measurements and rip the fabric."
"I accidentally dropped cranberry juice on the fabric while working and it took a minute for it to soak in and it came right out when washed off with water and a rag."
"heavy duty and stays without taping!"
