Creative Mark Paint Tube Wringer Heavy Duty

For 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!

My 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.

Too big for tooth paste, it is double the size of the toothpaste tube. Nothing like the picture. If you need it for paint or glue in a tube it would be excellent. Very sturdy quality, but not for toothpaste!

I know it is pictured wringing out a toothpaste tube, but this device is far too large and heavy for most people to want it on their bathroom counter. It is far over-sized for the job it is shown performing. Further, the instructions provided with the device clearly indicate that it is meant for more industrial tubes such as caulk - its size and weight is better suited for that performance as well.

Purchased it to get medicine out of tubes and it works great.

I am an artist and I love this. It saves me so much paint. I would buy it again and I would highly recommend it.

Extemely effective, though a bit of overkill for toothpaste tubes.

The 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.

It was not what I expected at all. It did not have a tight grasp. I was very disappointed. It had a short return date and and now I am stuck with a product I am not satisfied with. It did not meet my expectations at all!

So happy that I purchased this. Paint is expensive so I want every drop that I paid for. I love it.
