Frequently Asked Questions

Are Bahco scraper blades universal?

Bahco scrapers typically use standard-sized replacement blades, though it's important to check compatibility with your specific model. Bahco produces their own high-quality replacement blades designed to fit their scraper handles perfectly, ensuring optimal performance and safety.

What's the difference between carbide and standard scraper blades?

Carbide blades are significantly harder and more durable than standard steel blades, making them ideal for heavy-duty scraping on tough materials. They stay sharper for longer and are excellent for removing stubborn coatings. Standard blades are more affordable and perfectly adequate for general paint removal and lighter preparation work.

Can Bahco scrapers be used on delicate surfaces?

Yes, when used correctly with the appropriate blade and technique. Carbide scrapers with sharp blades can safely remove materials from glass and tiles, whilst maintaining the correct angle prevents damage to the underlying surface. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
