ALL-PURPOSE SCRAPER - 1-1/2"Red Devil all-purpose scraper with a contoured, non-slip textured handle and a 1-1/2" two-edge high-carbon steel blade.

- Sturdy, lightweight black polypropylene handle
- Replacement blade: Red Devil #3167 (2 blades per card)
- Manufacturer model: 3140
Choosing the width: The 1-1/2" blade is the general-purpose width - wide enough to cover ground on trim, sills, and furniture, narrow enough to stay controllable on contoured work.
Keeping an edge: Red Devil's instruction for these blades is to resharpen the edges with a file. Reverse the blade when the first edge dulls, and fit a fresh blade once both edges are past filing.
Before you scrape: Paint applied in homes built before 1978 may contain lead. Scraping it releases dust and chips. If you are working on a pre-1978 surface, test the paint first and follow lead-safe work practices rather than dry-scraping it into the open air.
