Good All in One Tool for Small Jobs
I used these tools to replace the seal around a bath and along some joins between cabinets and it works well. I hadn't used a "silicon profiling tool" before and it's much easier than trying to apply a neat bead or using your finger. However, as other reviewers have pointed out, there are no replacement blades so it's ideally suited for one off jobs, rather than anyone who needs to regularly remove and replace silicon seals. Clear instructions in English would have been useful but mine arrived in German packaging without an English translation so here's my translation of the instructions for anyone else who has the same problem:JOINT TOOL WITH JOINT KNIFEFor clean and long-lasting joints. Silicone can be processed without release agent (detergent). This helps to achieve better bonding and prevents fungal formation under the joint. Even deformities can be reworked without the whole gap having to be removed again.Instructions for use:Remove the old joints with the joint knife and the saw-tooth blade, using a scraper blade for residues. Wear a fine dust mask suitable for mould joints. Use silicone remover on scratch-sensitive surfaces. Before grouting, clean the base. Then select the appropriate profile and apply the appropriate amount of silicone on a length of 60-120 cm. Press the FUGI seamlessly against the wall and the floor and pull it off with the smooth side. Start with a new section at the settling point. To bridge grooves, hold the FUGI slightly oblique. Corners: First, grout all vertical wall reveals. After curing, create the horizontal joints, always starting in the corner. Clean the FUGI with household paper after use.Four stars because spare blades are not readily available, or included, and the non-English packaging.

Good for small jobs
Great product and it certainly works. Good value solution for a small silicone job.However next time I'd follow advice I read on the internet and use WD40 to soften and buy a knife scrapping tool that uses standard Stanley blades due to new the blades doing a much better job. FUGI tool is excellent and for my small job worked well, but buy a larger set of the FUGI tools if I was doing a large amount of work though, this one has different sizes on each edge and need to make sure you're always using the correct one.

Fugi
Have not used it yet, its lined up for a future in hand job perhaps. I have lots of silicon about the place as much as I look on it is DIY stuff. Its on the UPVC windows, around the work tops and all over the bathroom and shower. I have had a Fugi set of smoothers for a few years now and like to use them when I can. The reason being is that silicon and I like each other in an odd sort of way and we stick together, unfortunately usually all over me instead of the job in hand. The soapy water and finger trick doesn't seem to work with me very well. But Fugi seems to do it fairly fine.

Does the job
It is a basic kit that does the job. I would have liked the shaping tool to be slightly bigger. Plus not aware if replacement blades can be obtained for the scraper.

Good Quality. But too much of a compromise. Buy the bigger one.
Scraper works well. Fugi is a bit of a compromise. very well made but the sides are too short and the sealant rides up over the edge when wiping the Fugi over it. Unless your an expert (and so I guess wouldn't need a Fugi anyway) I suggest you pay more and get the larger pack with the 2x square Fugis in it. I'm sure they would work very well and I would be giving those 5 stars.

Much easier to use than a stanley knife
Yes, you can use a stanley knife to scrape off old sealant, but this little beauty is much easier to use and you are less likely to slice yourself open with it. It comes with two blades - one sharp, which has a protective sleeve and is good for the final finish, and a toothed one, which is good for dragging out big lumps of old sealant. It certainly made getting into the tight corners of our shower much easier.

Makes a nightmare job so much easier
Removing silicone is a nightmare but this did make a big difference. Use the cutting blade first along both sides of the silicone bead and then the rake to rip it out. You may need to go along with a stanley blade afterwards to get a perfect finish but this little gadget makes the chore so much easier.
