Slice 10593 Utility Scraper, Self-Retracting Ceramic Blade, Rust Free, Finger Friendly, Soft-Touch Comfort Grips

This works well despite the criticism in some reviews. I am very happy with this scraper. packaged well and received in good time.

I have many slice products now and appreciate the ease of use and safety features.

Pues no es la maravilla que pensé la verdad prefiero las de acero y es muy incómodo sea retráctil, recomiendo Osmo modelo pero manual que no sea retráctil

It doesn't stay open at all so I have to hold it in place but yes it definitely self retracts.

While I don't use this utility scraper for professional uses, I do have a serious need for it and use it frequently.I have a ceramic/glass cooktop. When something boils over, it burns on. If trying all the conventional products for gentle removal doesn't work, I have to resort to scraping it off. Here is where I have to pull off a serious balancing trick: scrape powerfully enough to get the burnt-off residue off but not that hard that I scratch the surface.My previous scrapers were single-edge blade scrapers. These rusted, did not retract (a consideration now that my granddaughter gets into all my drawers) and had sharp corners.This scraper comes with a ceramic blade that has rounded corners, so the scratching the surface worry is reduced. It is every bit as strong and sharp as the metal blades, with the added advantage that they retract and never rust. Another advantage is that it's larger and with a longer handle. You get better leverage and control and it's easier to find in the drawer.All around, it's a winner. All are advantages, no disadvantages.

This auto-retractable scraper has a rubberized handle that makes it a pleasure to hold. But this is not a scraper for long-term use because you have to hold it open at all times due to the auto-retract safety feature. This scraper is great for scraping a dried mystery-glob off a floor, or bubble gum off the sidewalk or a few paint spatters off your window. Get the manual scraper if you want to scrape paint off house trim for repainting.The blade is ceramic and is supposed to last a lot longer than a metal blade. It won't rust either. You can replace it with rounded-blades (like the one it comes with) or the traditional pointy-corner kind.All in all, I like this scraper very much and am intending to purchase a manual one for upcoming windowsill work.

It may be possible to clean the "nearly part of the glasstop stove" accumulation that has burnt onto the glass, but ... I gave this a try knowing that the blade didn't lock into place. Several reviews made it sound like it was no big deal. Let me tell you, it IS a big deal! The thumb hold has sharp edges running acoss it, and my thumb hurt within 30 seconds of trying to scrape off gunk that may be one with my glass stovetop now, although I had some hope during those first 30 seconds that I might be able to get some of it off. I didn't last three minutes of scraping, and less and less pressure could be applied due to the increasing pain in my thumb. I had the hubs give it a try, and it was a no-go for him, too, although he lasted longer than I did. Final thoughts ... scrapers need to lock into place! Don't buy one that doesn't.
