Creative Mark Paint Tube Wringer Heavy Duty

My 10-year-old daughter unfailingly squeezes the toothpaste tube which drives me crazy. This great device not only pushes the toothpaste to the top, but crimps the tube so you dont need to leave the clunky device on the tube. I love the 19th century elegance of the solution. My wife, at first horrified by the price, now calculates it will save us money over the long run. She, too is under the spell of the clever and practical mechanism. Reminds me of a steam punk novel.

Nice and sturdy but only does 3 tubes. I can do them by hand..I need something for the bigger tubes.

This is a super heavy duty tool that will crimp your oil paint tubes or toothpaste tubes, or any other tubes so tightly that you can even cut off the long end of the tube that is empty. The big plus that this crimper has over the plastic-handled model that sells for half the price is that you cant pinch your hand when you squash down on the handle. So I think its worth the extra money.

I lived in Springfield, Oregon and worked in Eugne from 1972 until 1976. During this period I acquired a Gill Tube Wringer. I have used it regularly for all these years and can truthfully say that it works every bit as good today as the day I got it. You just wont believe how well it works until you try it. This is a piece of precision machine work which will last a lifetime in normal use. It is worth every penny you pay for it.

Too big for tooth paste, it is double the size of the toothpaste tube. Nothing like the picture. If you need it for paint or glue in a tube it would be excellent. Very sturdy quality, but not for toothpaste!

Extemely effective, though a bit of overkill for toothpaste tubes.

This is a very sturdy device . I use it to make the little ridges in my copper designs for jewelry. It is easy to slide the copper into. It hasn’t caused me any hand fatigue while turning the copper into the zig zag look. I’m sure it will last for years to come it is made so hardy. I have found I use this great gadget for things I never thought of before. I highly recommend this.

I really dont take any pleasure in writing bad reviews, I put a lot of faith into product reviews. Although I did not order my item from Amazon, to be truthful I cant remember where exactly I ordered it from, Dickblick, Cheep Joes, or Artist Supply but some products are like bad equity; some poor sucker needs to buy it. My estimation is that this is the exact same product, aluminum rollers, aluminum painted frame that bends, barely holds the tube while rolling- and slips; not to mention after pulling the tube manually through the rollers while applying pressure, the pins that hold the rollers fall out. In no way is this item Heavy Duty. Dont buy plasic, dont buy aluminum, make sure the frame is steel or brass or for gods sakes bronze. Ill give it 2 stars because its worth the purchase if you lower the price enough.(groan>>> try these:

This works extremely well. Will save a lot on paint cost as it gets all of the paint out of the tube. And it seals off so well that the excess tube can be cut off to save storage space.

Very good quality. Works very well Gor tube paints
