7 in. Forged Sidewalk Scraper

A:  We don't recommend that use for this tool.

A:  This tool would be helpful during any large “scraping” job. It has a heavy feel which makes any big job easier. I think it would be helpful. You may or may not not need the help of a heat gun. This scraper really could handle almost any heavy duty job. The edge of the metal scraper has a hefty “sharp” edge that is 7 inches wide. I think I would find a 14 inch scraper a bit too cumbersome to handle. This size would be the biggest I would want to use.

A:  I've removed and installed carpet on several concrete patios. I don't think the 7" sidewalk scraper would be the tool for that job. I'd look for a specific carpet scraper. I don't know about the 14" as I haven't used it.

A:  In general I'd say yes. The blade is sharp enough and the tool is heavy enough that you could drive this scraper into dirt and undercut the weeds' root system.

A:  I would not use this scraper for cleaning weeds from sidewalk cracks. I have other tools that I use for that application.

A:  This scrapper is made from forged steel and is very hard, so I would say yes, it will "scrape" cut weed. If you are thinking about using the scrapper to cut the weeds below the surface level by chopping, the tool will handle it but the concrete and asphalt would be chipped and broken.

A:  Are you talking about "between the road and the curb?". If so, I think it would be difficult because of the unevenness of the road surface against the curb. You would probably dull the edge of the scraper quickly. My personal choice would be to use a herbicide to spray the weeds, wait a few days and use a weed whacker to remove the dead weeds.

A:  Yes it is.

A:  The label on the handle says that it is made of foreign and domestic components (long wooden handle, metal scraper end and removable rubber edge cover) and is assembled in the USA. The scraper is provided by Ames which is located in Pennsylvania,

A:  This item is USA Made with US/Global Components. It is assembled in the US with primarily US sourced components.

A:  From Razorback's website..."Just as we domestically produce tools for export to foreign markets, as a global company we buy certain components and materials from valued international supply partners located around the world. These partnerships ensure our ability to provide exceptional quality and value to our customers while we continue to design, engineer, and make products right here in the U.S."

A:  Sorry, Bill, but I don't know. It was a Christmas gift for someone. You could call customer service at RAZOR BACK at 800 393-1846.
