Title: Use this with a heat gun or chemicals
Product review: We are in the process of renovating a Victorian style home built in 1916 with several layers of paint. The siding is solid wood, clapboard pattern.This tool does not work well used directly on old, hard paint layers. It is unable to "cut through" the old layers of paint and reveal the wood underneath. The blade itself dulls rapidly. The profile is close to the pattern on our clapboard but since we did NOT want to use chemicals or a heat gun to soften the old paint it quickly became evident it would not do the job.So, if you are looking for a tool that can remove old paint without using chemicals or a heat gun buy the Bahco scraper. It has a replaceable carbide blade and is well designed, do not buy this one...
