What are you trying to do with that scarper, Steve, remove paint?

I am lazy and found those scrapers do not work so well as they are flimsy at best causes a little vibration making the work not smooth. If for rough scraping like removing paint, We use these

They work very well but doesn't always produce the smoothest result. I get after after that with a card scraper or more often, just a utility blade or sand the surface smooth.

One trick I learned over the years, a grinder. Take those scrapers to the grinder and get an edge on there and they will scrape all daylong and sharpening takes about 15 second. I know, I know, most people or purist will jump me on this due to not having to hone it on a stone but for quick work, it works damn well.

We really like this https://www.amazon.com/Kunz-13-107-Glue-Scraper/dp/B000MAUJAE/ref=asc_df_B000MAUJAE/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693592674378&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16464953118159593716&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030984&hvtargid=pla-1900685216765&psc=1&mcid=a6e4821b92c03d9a96aa015e0c3bdb5a&gad_source=1
it works very well and we keep the blade on this sharp. One thing I will say its it is rigid so there's no flex causing it to jump making the scrapped surface rough. worth the money.

I have to drop off the cabinet scraper in the mail. Have it in a box for ya but been too lazy to get to the post office. Sorry.
