What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm

The 35.1L x 7W x 22.1H centimetres dimensions are listed without clarifying the measurement orientation.

Customer feedback is positive about build quality, design and ease of caulking, with reports that the tool helps make contractor tasks easier. Other feedback raises durability concerns, including reports of early breakage or wear, and views on value differ.
