Creative Mark Paint Tube Wringer Heavy Duty

I received one of these heavy duty tube wringers as an art supply tool about 20 years ago and it has quickly found uses all over the house beyond its original art duties. I use it for paint tubes, toothpaste, various medicinal tubes, glues, wasabi - anything in a tube, really. The tube wringer is simple to use and is the most effective way Ive used of squeezing every last drop out of a tube - especially when compared to those little plastic paint tube keys. The wringer not only flattens but crimps the tube which helps to prevent squeezed material from spreading back out into the body of the tube, especially in metal tubes (not so much in stiffer plastic like wasabi comes in). It is so satisfying to use that when I pull it out to wring some tubes, I find myself drifting around the house looking for more tubes to wring. ;) I recommend the wringer with the metal rollers. Models with plastic rollers exist but they only save you a couple of bucks and Id imagine would have a shorter life span. I mostly do my painting during winter but my tube wringer gets plenty of use on toothpaste tubes during summer making it a welcome addition to the household.

Don’t waste your money on cheaper wringers. This one is sturdy and really works. It crimps the tube and you can actually cut off the excess empty tubing if you want.

This is a very sturdy device . I use it to make the little ridges in my copper designs for jewelry. It is easy to slide the copper into. It hasn’t caused me any hand fatigue while turning the copper into the zig zag look. I’m sure it will last for years to come it is made so hardy. I have found I use this great gadget for things I never thought of before. I highly recommend this.

The tube-wringer I received is manufactured in the USA by Gill Mechanical Company in Eugene, OR. Its a well-made, sturdy product that does exactly what its supposed to do. I bought it for tubes of paint, but it works on other metal and plastic tubes as well. I recommend it highly. The URL on the product is [...] I dont know if you will get the same product when you order or if they ship whatever they have on hand. You might want to check first.

I chose this tube wringer/crimper over cheaper models because it seemed more substantial, and I think it is a more heavy duty tool. It looks almost identical to one another artist said she’s used for years.

Very good quality. Works very well Gor tube paints

Extemely effective, though a bit of overkill for toothpaste tubes.

This is a super heavy duty tool that will crimp your oil paint tubes or toothpaste tubes, or any other tubes so tightly that you can even cut off the long end of the tube that is empty. The big plus that this crimper has over the plastic-handled model that sells for half the price is that you cant pinch your hand when you squash down on the handle. So I think its worth the extra money.

It was not what I expected at all. It did not have a tight grasp. I was very disappointed. It had a short return date and and now I am stuck with a product I am not satisfied with. It did not meet my expectations at all!

Too big for tooth paste, it is double the size of the toothpaste tube. Nothing like the picture. If you need it for paint or glue in a tube it would be excellent. Very sturdy quality, but not for toothpaste!
