"Great magnetic strength."

My aquarium recently had a bad algae outbreak. This set comes with acouple different cleaning tools. It works great for my tank, you may want to get a bigger pad for larger tanks. 5 and a medium sized one for my 100 gallon reef tank. It actually made cleaning the glass enjoyable. I'm glad I purchase it as it also comes with a net. I bought this based on reviews and sure enough it took care of the algae with ease.

"For the price—Awesome."

The first one lasted for several years. The long handle made it very easy to get everywhere. I still had to soak the hard to reach pieces in 1 part bleach, 5 parts water. This scraper is a life saver for me. The angled head of this thing makes all the difference. I have two aquariums, a 49 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. It works awesome and does everything I wanted it too and more.

"Still love this thing!"

The razer blade scraping tool is great as well. This tool was perfect for cleaning everything up. This is my second purchase of this scraper. The magnet is stronger and best of all it finally floats to the surface. I could even clean the back glass by reaching over the top of the tank. Also love the ability to quickly change tools with snap on head feature! It is very handy for keeping my 30-gal freshwater aquarium clean.

"Waaait for it."

Interchangeable pads and a water release for the rod. This little pad was just what was needed for cleaning up our 2 gallon bowl. I bought this because I have flowerhorns and they bite. The razer blade scraping tool is great as well. This scrapper will trap some of it making it easier to get out of the tank. Cuts through built up algea in hard to reach places with no problems! I used a scrubber with little result.

"No flimsy garbage."

I was surprised at how heavy and well built this is. That piece makes getting the side walls a bit harder. It is quite sturdy and made of stainless steel so it should last a long time. Great product and worth every penny. But since no directions come, I thought I might mention it. I have no idea how this would hold up to much larger tanks. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet.

"This works great."

But since no directions come, I thought I might mention it. Just a great set of tools for the price. It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. I have a 5-gallon fish tank with my beta in it. The only thing i wish was different is that the net was bigger. Easy to install the blade, seems to be well made. This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned.
