Nothing i guess, if you want to carry a hammer, blade and a block of wood that's just fine, i just thought these were particularly good.

Absolutely sharp ends mate, but apparently a hammer, a blade and a block of wood does the same thing.

Post by: rosskesava on January 22, 2014, 12:46:29 am: A pneumatically driven pile driver with a downwards force of several tons does a good job.

I always have one in tow for when I need it.

Post by: Avo on February 16, 2014, 06:25:45 pm: Scraper works fine

Title: Re: Squeegee rubber cutter
Post by: wayne m on February 18, 2014, 08:28:49 pm: Cheaper to buy longer lengths and cut down to size and then cut down again for smaller squeegee!
