Product Description

Zinsser 2976 PaperTiger Scoring Tool for Wallpaper Removal Triple Head

From the Manufacturer

PAPERTIGER Wallcovering Scoring Tool perforates waterproof wallcoverings so remover solution can penetrate and resolubilize paste. PAPERTIGER's patented scoring disks open surface holes to let DIF penetrate and attack the paste. In 1985, Zinsser introduced a tool that answered the need for a better way to perforate waterproof wallcoverings. This wallcovering tool, called PAPERTIGER, was as revolutionary an advance in its field as DIF was in remover solutions. With PAPERTIGER, scoring became faster, easier and safer for both worker and wall.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the wallpaper remover. Some mention that it holds up well on a number of jobs, while others say that it fell apart after only the first use.

"I ordered 2 of these and the wheels are absolute garbage. They stick and cut the wallpaper rather than scoring it, if they don't fall apart first." Read more

probably best on wildly thick wallpaper
we have this wretched old.... wallpaper? wallcardboard? something likely from the 1920s and riddled with asbestos BUT this tool has been the absolute best. I’m knocking out sections tearing this ish up with the tool and then soaking with hot water + dawn. all the adhesive residue is gone. I am disabled so it was really hard for me to use the tool towards the floor. I thought I would be smart and intentionally break one of the three scorers off, fill it with a drill bit and some resin and use the power of the drill to help me. A genius idea really but as soon as I started to use my new drill bit concoction it broke. Shortly thereafter a second scorer fell off but I can still use it with the one still attached. still WAY better than the stinking scoring tools with only one.

Solange er funktioniert hat eine gute Sache. Erleichtert das Einweichen von Tapeten sehr.
Dieses Model läuft aber nur sehr schwer und ruckelig an der Wand und war auch bereits nach 3 Wänden (etwa 12m²) vollig kaputt.
