Window Scrapers – Straight or Angled blade, whats your choice?
Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any experience with window scrapers? I’ve just been on Signgeers website and see they offer both Straight & Angled versions made by Triumph. We’d mostly be using them for cleaning windows prior to installing film & removing frosting. Any suggestions? Thanks

I prefer the angled but important to use the stainless steel blades for cleaning

Tried many types…now only use the angled ‘disposable’ Stanley yellow handles…and the high grade thick Irwin blades.
Spray up the glass with extra soapy water as a lubricant. Great for cleanup or shaving off vinyls.

I’m the same as Chris, I supply all my team with the Angled Triumph handles and Stainless blades. I’ve always had great results [emoji106]

Just ordered 2x of the Triumph angled ones and a couple of packets of stainless steel blades from Signgeer today. I’d used the Stanley yellow ones before but we’ve started to do more window film so cleaning large windows is quite time consuming. It’s also difficult to see what you have and haven’t scraped.

I have a bunch of blade scrapers for window graphics etc.
from the large angled ones on the pole with a handle to mid-range and small plastic ones.
to be honest, I always prefer just grabbing the small handheld ones with the straight/horizontal blade.
to not get me wrong, the large handled ones feel much better and you can get your shoulder behind them.
but for general vinyl work, I find the small ones better.the large ones can go wrong! if they slip out your hand a little and chap against the glass its easy to break!
also, the larger blades are very easy to create a little ding/chip in the blade when sitting them down. next time you use it, score right up the glass. small ones you just slip in and it new blades, no screws or drivers to deal with.
the biggest issue I find with the large ones is it is so easy for staff to cut them on such large open blades.
I’m throwing negatives here, I know, but just pointing out the cons against the obvious pros of using one.
