Thanks for your review. After seeing it, it does not seem it will serve purpose to remove caulk around my bathtub. Those tools all work great, when the installer did the job right and put a thick bead of silicone on top of a generous gap between two surfaces. If it was not done right, that is why you have to go back and fix it, and will find that all those caulk and grout tools that will work for a proper installation, will not work when up against a bad install. In my case, they left a very fine gap between tile and tub. The grout saw did not work, the gap was too small. Not able to really scrape out the cracked grout to clean it up. The silicone caulk was also a very thin/flat layer, in which renders that tool useless as shown at the end of the video. The silicone layer is flat and the tool needs enough of a caulk bead radius to pick up on. A good install should not have the gap between the bottom of tiles to the top of tub not filled with grout, only filler silicone or sand caulk. It's not the tool that is bad, it is the installer!

Thank you for demonstrating. I am trying to remove old caulk from a shower door. I took the shower door off, but the caulk underneath the track is at least 50 years old and not budging. Do you have any ideas I can use with the tool to get it off maybe?

I would use Acetone to loosen the caulking and a razor blade to scrape off the caulking. Make sure you wear protective gloves when using the acetone. Here is an example of a Razor blade you can use. kzitem.info/news/bejne/tXelvJ-tbKOalpg

Looked promising but that plastic scraping edge is going to get destroyed (dented) very quickly. And the metal scraping tool could scrape stone materials (granite, etc). I like the 5 different tooling/shaping heads but since they are either a soft or rubberized plastic I can see them wearing out over time. Not convinced. Decent video.

if you need to remove old dried up Caulking, like I do from around a AC window unit, it's not gonna work out. Just wasted $16,99 on one. Frustrated because I need to get an old AC out of a window, to put a new one in, but so much caulking around old one, can't get it out lol. So looks like back to using a screw-driver and WD-40 again. And as for smoothing caulking out, you can use a plastic condiment knife and save you money. And reason I'm using WD-40 is it helps soften the dried caulking up for easier removal. Smells not great, but it is helping. As for that 3n1 tool it's worthless 🙃

You never showed us how to remove the old silicone with that tool and your demo was poor so I don't know if the tool or you are at fault here.

Sorry the whole point of a chalking tool is to make the job easy so why would you use painters tape? Not a very good video do one without the tape.

These tools are all useless gimmicks.The primary reason to tool silicone is to improve adhesion. The secondary reason is aesthetics. These tips completely ignore the primary reason for tooling. They are all pathetic gimmicks that insure premature failure. All they do is scrape of the excess. TOTAL GARBAGE. I have been a professional caulker for over 45 years and this kind of crap is why homeowners are always having to replace sealant. All of the misinformation on sealants is totally disgusting. And causes homeowners untold amounts of dollars not even taking into account the hidden damage caused by leaks due to these ridiculous short cuts. You should be sued fir ndg
