Title: Essential Tool for Caulking Projects
Review: The ALLWAY CT31 3-in-1 Caulk Tool has been a fantastic addition to my DIY toolkit. As someone who takes on a lot of home improvement projects, I needed a tool that could simplify the caulking process, and this one fits the bill perfectly.What I particularly like about this tool is how it combines multiple functions into one compact device. The removal process is much easier now; the scraper effectively gets rid of old caulk without damaging the surfaces. Applying new caulk is a breeze too. The tool's design allows for a smooth, even application, which has significantly improved the finish of my work.The ergonomic handle is comfortable to hold, even during extended use. It doesn’t strain my hand, which is a huge plus considering how tedious caulking can be. The built-in silicone smoother works wonders, leaving a professional-looking finish every time.One minor downside I noticed is that the plastic scraper isn't as effective on tougher, older caulk. However, using a bit of extra elbow grease usually does the trick.This tool has really streamlined my caulking projects, saving me time and effort. Whether I'm redoing the bathroom sealant or touching up the kitchen, the ALLWAY CT31 3-in-1 Caulk Tool has proven to be incredibly handy and efficient.

Title: Very easy to use this 3-in-1 Caulk Tool for removal and application
Review: I had to remove some old caulk and replace some new caulk around the bathtub. This tool removed the caulk really well. I was really surprised that he did it really well. It also did what it said with smoothing the caulk out nicely and not so rough looking in the corners with the corner section and it smooth the long areas flat. I love this tool and I will buy this again to have a backup tool.

Title: Great product, would buy just for the smoothing tips
Review: Purchased this to aid in running beads of white caulk between baseboard trim and the wall.We needed a nice, clean, 1/8" bead to be spread continuously over several feet while maintaining the bead width and without leaving any gaps between the top of the trim piece and the wall. This tool was able to do that comfortably.We first tested the three different bead widths on some scrap materials before applying directly to the project. The handle is comfortable to hold, it is very stiff, and allowed us to put consistent pressure on the bead of caulk throughout the length of the trim pieces.We did not use the other parts (scraper and cutter) so I cannot speak to that aspect. I can say though that the upward facing scraper did slightly get in the way on some longer runs (bumped into my forearm while pulling the bead of caulk). My opinion is that it would be better designed as a 2-in-1 tool and remove the upward facing scraper, hence 4 stars instead of 5. Overall though, did the job and did it well.

Title: Good investment for small projects
Review: I've had a couple small projects that I've now used this tool and it seems to be working fairly well. One project I had to remove old caulk and while the tool helped, I thought it could be a little better or sharper to get the job done easier. On the opposite side of the tool, it is very nice to be able to quickly easily turn the rubber head to adjust the width of newly applied caulk. At least for small projects, it is worth the small of amount of money to invest in this tool to make the project look good.

Title: Almost perfect - However....
Review: The concept of this tool is excellent and the tool works amazing until the Lego style retainer on the blade side starts popping off. Then it will not stop popping off. This happened about halfway through the front shower door (pretty quick actuall) :-(.Everytime you use the tool to strip out silicone, the Lego looking retainer pops off and the blade goes sideways. You have to hold the retainer with your finger while you work. This causes scraped and busted knuckles.This is very unfortunate because the tool is actually pretty amazing until it starts this s@#$.I guess I will super glue it in place and continue to use until it fails again.

Title: Well-made, sturdy, and practical
Review: It is time for me to replace all the caulk around the tubs, counters, and windows in my house. I have been dreading the chore. However, this device makes it easier. The sharp side is very good at getting under the caulk, making it easier to lift out the old, dried-up caulk. The other side is a medium-firm silicon that smoothes down the new caulk after you apply it. Then you can use the sharper end to clean up any "slopovers" (of which I make many, because I don't know how to handle a caulk gun properly). My caulking work won't win any awards, but at least it looks presentable. The tool is lightweight, but at the same time, it is very durable. I am so glad to have this tool!

Title: Ok
Review: Seems to work well as it is new but pretty cheaply constructed don't think it will last if used frequently nice fit and size. Good value but like I said don't think it will last.

Title: Surprisingly useful tool!
Review: OK, I bought this on a whim from a link off FB. Looked so easy in the videos, right? Turns out it is! You still have to be able to put down a fairly even bead of caulk with your caulk gun, but this tool really does help. I used the heck out of the scraper to remove old caulk. The handle gives you a lot of leverage to scrape, etc.The triangle corner smoothing end is pretty slick too. Just make sure you have it evenly in the corner and try to pull in one smooth swipe.I found that the triangle tip works pretty well as a trowel for caulk. The caulk just wipes right off of the tool, so you can very much use it to "shape" your caulk to some extent. As a DIYS guy, I might not pick this tool up again for a few years, but it does work and I was happy I had it on my last project.

Review: Sturdy and sharp enough to strip the caulks. But the triangular rubber tip is not easy to perfect since the handle is long and can get in the way when working on corners or small gaps. I finally took the triangular rubber tip off the handle to do the smoothing.
