I bought this mainly to assist in scraping the painted exterior cedar siding on my Victorian home. For me it works great....a solid, wide blade to scrape off the old paint, , a pointed crevice tool to clean out old caulking, and a durable metal tipped handle to hammer in loosened nails. It also has a true-grip handle that prevents slippage which I also really like. Add to this the price and it made it a great deal.
