It Takes More Time to Caulk w/Tool
I bought this 3 in 1 Silicone Caulking Tools and really if you have issues with having caulk on your finger then just wear a pair of latex gloves. I just use my bare finger and then wipe it off. It's so much easier to wipe the caulk off my fingers than to wipe off it off from the tool. If you want to have that ease of peeling like in the video then you still need to tape the section your caulking so there's not time save there. Even though it's only 8-9 dollars, I find this to be a complete waste of money. The only good part of the tool is the caulk remover but it's still a uncomfortable to use because of the moving silicone caulk piece and the scraper. The edges of the scraper will some time poke your hand. In my opinion is better to just buy a paint scraper, it'll have more uses than this.
I tried using this tool and what would have taken me 5-10 minutes using my finger took me an hour to clean all the mess from the tool and silicone tips. It also took a long time to remove the excess caulk that was pushed along the tile. With all the excess caulk, I still got a ton on my fingers. It just isn't worth it.
Also, I don't often log on to give bad reviews. This may be my first 1-star review, and it gets this because the tool may actually make the work more difficult and time consuming.
