> 24 hourThe cheaper wringers are indeed cheap. The plastic ones break, even those that have bracing inside the handles. This wringer is replacing one of those. The cheaper metal ones are not as sturdy or as comfortable. This is best in class.

> 24 hourThis is a very sturdy device . I use it to make the little ridges in my copper designs for jewelry. It is easy to slide the copper into. It hasn’t caused me any hand fatigue while turning the copper into the zig zag look. I’m sure it will last for years to come it is made so hardy. I have found I use this great gadget for things I never thought of before. I highly recommend this.

> 24 hourFor years I never bothered with these tube squeezers since I had a small wood section of a 2 x 4 that I used to flatten all my artist’s oil paint tubes. Worked great - the tubes flattened nicely as I worked the paint towards the top and then folded the flat part, but the problem was that as I squeezed paint out some worked its way back down, and after a few sessions I’d have to flatten the tube again. I didn’t know it, but I was “doing it all wrong” and basically working too hard at this task. So, fast forward to a chance ad recently for a cheaper squeezer and I looked into them and decided that I might as well spend the extra money for a quality product. Price seems high, but it’s quick and will ensure you get as much paint out of each tube as possible. Man - I love this thing! Easy to use, works very quickly, and let me tell you every last molecule of paint is worked towards the top, and with just a few turns of the handle. The ‘flattened’ area is corrugated so it’s really hard for the paint to work it’s way back down. Even then, as I recap each tube and before putting them into my paint drawer I re-insert the tube back into the squeezer and with a quick crank or two the tube is 100% ready for easy squeezing next time. Of course - make sure your cap is secure lest paint go flying out (for old paint-encrusted caps it may be a good idea to ‘squeeze’ the tube over a garbage can??). Also, no worries about over-squeezing ~ when the tube is done the handle simply stops turning. Well-made and highly recommended. You’ll love it!

> 24 hourThis is a super heavy duty tool that will crimp your oil paint tubes or toothpaste tubes, or any other tubes so tightly that you can even cut off the long end of the tube that is empty. The big plus that this crimper has over the plastic-handled model that sells for half the price is that you cant pinch your hand when you squash down on the handle. So I think its worth the extra money.

> 24 hourThe tube-wringer I received is manufactured in the USA by Gill Mechanical Company in Eugene, OR. Its a well-made, sturdy product that does exactly what its supposed to do. I bought it for tubes of paint, but it works on other metal and plastic tubes as well. I recommend it highly. The URL on the product is [...] I dont know if you will get the same product when you order or if they ship whatever they have on hand. You might want to check first.

> 24 hourMy 10-year-old daughter unfailingly squeezes the toothpaste tube which drives me crazy. This great device not only pushes the toothpaste to the top, but crimps the tube so you dont need to leave the clunky device on the tube. I love the 19th century elegance of the solution. My wife, at first horrified by the price, now calculates it will save us money over the long run. She, too is under the spell of the clever and practical mechanism. Reminds me of a steam punk novel.
