OEM Tools Folding Safety Scraper & Razor Blade Set
Our folding safety scraper delivers professional-grade paint removal and surface preparation in a compact, portable design. The tool includes five premium razor blades and features a durable metal housing that protects the blade during storage and transport.
We built this scraper for mechanics, painters, and DIY enthusiasts who need precise control when removing paint, adhesive residue, gaskets, and decals. The ergonomic folding handle provides comfortable grip pressure while the blade holder maintains optimal scraping angles for clean material removal without surface damage.
- Folding metal handle design for safe pocket or toolbox storage
- Includes 5 replacement razor blades for extended use
- Blade holder maintains optimal scraping angle
- Ergonomic grip reduces hand fatigue during extended work
- Blade change mechanism requires no additional tools
Construction & blade compatibility
The scraper body uses corrosion-resistant steel throughout the handle and blade holder assembly. We designed the folding mechanism with a spring-loaded lock that secures the handle in both open and closed positions, preventing accidental deployment in your pocket or toolbox.
The blade holder accepts all standard single-edge razor blades measuring 1.5 inches by 0.009 inches thick. The five included blades feature precision-ground edges for clean cuts through paint, caulk, and adhesive materials. When you need to swap blades, the thumb-operated release lever allows tool-free blade changes in seconds. For additional hand tools and sets that complement surface prep work, we offer complete kits designed for automotive and workshop applications.
Grip design & handling
Handle ergonomics
The folding handle extends to 5.5 inches in working position, providing full-palm contact that distributes pressure evenly during scraping tasks. We contoured the grip surfaces to match natural hand positions, reducing the muscle strain that occurs with prolonged scraping work.
Blade angle control
The fixed blade holder maintains a 25-degree scraping angle that balances aggressive material removal with surface protection. This geometry prevents the blade from digging into substrates while still delivering effective paint and adhesive removal. The same precision engineering we apply to our socket sets ensures consistent blade positioning across every scraper we manufacture.
Applications & surface prep techniques
Use the oem tools folding safety scraper for removing old gasket material from engine blocks, cylinder heads, and transmission housings. The blade excels at clearing RTV silicone, paper gaskets, and rubber o-ring residue without scratching machined aluminum or cast iron surfaces.
For paint removal applications, hold the scraper at a shallow angle and use short, overlapping strokes to lift latex and oil-based coatings from metal, wood, and composite panels. The blade cuts through multiple paint layers while the controlled angle prevents gouging into the substrate. When working with adhesive residue from decals or tape, apply light forward pressure and let the sharp blade edge do the cutting work. This tool pairs effectively with edge-finding tools like our precision straight edge when preparing surfaces for new gasket installation.

What people are saying
Common questions about the OEM Tools folding safety scraper
Yes, the blade holder accepts all standard single-edge razor blades measuring 1.5 inches long by 0.009 inches thick. These blades are widely available at hardware stores, home centers, and online retailers. The set includes five replacement blades to get you started, and you can use any compatible single-edge blade when replacements are needed.
Press the thumb lever located on the blade holder assembly to release the current blade. The spring mechanism will partially eject the blade, allowing you to grasp it safely by the dull back edge. Insert a fresh blade with the cutting edge facing forward until you hear the retention mechanism click into place. The entire process takes less than ten seconds and requires no screwdrivers or additional tools.
The scraper folds to a compact 3.25 inches in closed position, making it easy to carry in tool pouches, cargo pockets, or standard toolbox drawers. When opened for use, the handle extends to 5.5 inches to provide full-palm grip contact. The folding mechanism locks securely in both positions to prevent accidental deployment during storage or transport.
Yes, when used at the correct angle with light to moderate pressure. The 25-degree blade holder angle is designed to remove paint, adhesive, and coating materials while minimizing the risk of gouging underlying surfaces. For best results on delicate substrates, hold the scraper at a shallow angle and use short, overlapping strokes. Test in an inconspicuous area first when working on sensitive materials.
The ergonomic handle design distributes grip pressure evenly across your palm, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged scraping tasks. We contoured the grip surfaces to match natural hand positions, and the 5.5-inch extended length provides sufficient leverage without requiring excessive force. Many users report comfortable operation during multi-hour surface prep sessions.
The scraper effectively removes paint, caulk, adhesive residue, gasket material, RTV silicone, decals, and tape from metal, wood, composite, fiberglass, and glass surfaces. The blade excels at clearing old gasket material from engine blocks, cylinder heads, and transmission housings without scratching machined aluminum or cast iron. Always test on a small area first when working with unfamiliar substrates.
Each blade typically delivers 20-30 linear feet of effective scraping before edge dulling requires replacement. Actual blade life varies based on the material being removed and the pressure applied during use. Harder materials like dried adhesive or thick paint buildup will dull blades faster than softer materials like caulk or thin decals. The set includes five replacement blades for extended project work.
