Honbay Gocomcom Metal Tube Squeezer Wringer Tube Roller for Hairdressing Hair Color Dye Hand Cream Toothpaste

I bought this as a stocking stuffer for my brother (so I tried it out too). It's totally great for getting those last bits out, and somehow makes a partially-empty tube look a whole lot nicer. If you haven't used a wringer before, it can be really satisfying. It's a great gift that the recipient will actually use, and novel enough that it's still fun and actually gift-like. I do have a couple of complaints/notes, but I think I'd buy the wringer again if I needed to.- If you're giving it as a gift, note that it doesn't come in nice packaging (just a plastic bag), which isn't an issue as long as you plan to wrap it.- If you're NOT using it for large paint/dye tubes (which it's made for), note that it's a bit large -- probably larger than you'd think. So if you're buying it for use on skincare or toothpaste tubes, it'll be slightly larger than you need. (It still works.)- You can't/don't keep the wringer on a small tube. I incorrectly assumed that you could, but it's large enough that it makes a small tube pretty unwieldy.- If you plan to take the wringer off after squeezing a tube, note that it works better on metal tubes than plastic ones. So if you have a plastic toothpaste tube (most are), it will work, it just might not retain its shape as well after you take the wringer off. (It'll push the tube's contents to the front, but you might push a bit of them back when you squeeze the tube with your hands.) You can always binder clip the ends, or just wring it again later. The metal tubes, on the other hand, stick in the wringed position really well -- it's as if you've just shortened the tube.- I bought this one because one that looked nicer was out of stock. Even though I'm sure it works just as well, it does look like a cheaply-made product. The aluminum is really bright (not glossy or brushed), and the surface is a bit textured. The metal also thick and bulky, which might be great for others, but as I said above, it's not made to stay on small tubes. For its size, it is pretty light, which makes it feel less effective.- I can't vouch for its durability, since I only use it occasionally. But given the quality, I don't think this is a life-long keeper.TL;DR: I'd probably try a higher-quality version of a tube wringer before buying this exact one again, but it's a good option and still a really good gift. A whole lot cooler than the plastic sliders, too.

After I squeezed a tube of Wella hair dye too often, the metal cracked and dye leaked out from multiple sites. I had to discard the tube early because so much product oozed out of the cracks and dried, leaving a dark brown mess that stained my hands. The Honbay metal tube wringer solved the problem beautifully. Use it from the FIRST time you open a metal tube; there's enough air in the tube that you can flatten the end so the wringer can latch on (e.g. pic shows new hair dye tube after first use of Honbay). Because the metal is only crimped once as you move up the tube, cracks won't form and the product won't leak. The Honbay comes OFF the tube between uses, so there's no bulky storage. I'm looking forward to finishing an entire tube of hair dye this time, and the Honbay works just as well on 3 other hair and face products in my bathroom.

What a neat little gadget! I got this to help me get the last bits out of my tubes of paint. Then I discovered that it works perfecty for any kind of tube, and that I can get an extra weeks' worth of toothpaste out of the tube when I use this. Sunscreen? Yep. Any tubes work in this little gizmo, and I haven't found one that doesn't fit in it.On another note: I make jewelry, and this gadget texturizes the metal with a nice, corrugated look, with a minimum of effort. I can get a strip of silver to come out with a work-hardened wave in less than a minute. If you make jewelry, this is a very inexpensive tool to get very nice effects.

This, is really not ideal for Toothpaste or any other flemsy tubes. Artist (like myself) use this tool for squeezing our oil tubes so we don't waste paint and or acrylics. It's a PITA top squeeze hard and keep it close tight cause the metal, so it's not a perfectly built. You get what you pay for, remember. Simple solution is just use a rag for cushion. There's others I've seen with a cushioned handles, remember, you get what you pay for.

This does its job beautifully. However, it hurts your hand. The hard angles in the handles dig into your hands while your using the device. I added a few layers of duct tape. It helped a bit. I'm going to apply a rubber coating or two and see if that helps.
