Creative Mark Paint Tube Wringer Heavy Duty

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:

Very handy tool for crimping paint tubes, toothpaste tubes, and any other tube that you might want to get more out of!

For years I never bothered with these tube squeezers since I had a small wood section of a 2 x 4 that I used to flatten all my artist’s oil paint tubes. Worked great - the tubes flattened nicely as I worked the paint towards the top and then folded the flat part, but the problem was that as I squeezed paint out some worked its way back down, and after a few sessions I’d have to flatten the tube again. I didn’t know it, but I was “doing it all wrong” and basically working too hard at this task. So, fast forward to a chance ad recently for a cheaper squeezer and I looked into them and decided that I might as well spend the extra money for a quality product. Price seems high, but it’s quick and will ensure you get as much paint out of each tube as possible. Man - I love this thing! Easy to use, works very quickly, and let me tell you every last molecule of paint is worked towards the top, and with just a few turns of the handle. The ‘flattened’ area is corrugated so it’s really hard for the paint to work it’s way back down. Even then, as I recap each tube and before putting them into my paint drawer I re-insert the tube back into the squeezer and with a quick crank or two the tube is 100% ready for easy squeezing next time. Of course - make sure your cap is secure lest paint go flying out (for old paint-encrusted caps it may be a good idea to ‘squeeze’ the tube over a garbage can??). Also, no worries about over-squeezing ~ when the tube is done the handle simply stops turning. Well-made and highly recommended. You’ll love it!

CANT IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY THIS WILL SAVE ME. NO MORE WASTED PAINT.

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.

the idea is simple, but as you try to use it, it either falls off the tube, or you end up cutting yourself on the sharp metal edges as it loses its grip. the plastic ones are much cheaper, work easier, cant cut you, and dont make your hands smell like you just dug through a bucket of pennies.

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

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

So happy that I purchased this. Paint is expensive so I want every drop that I paid for. I love it.
