    CT PRO Remover Tool - WEB.jpgDSC03172.jpg

    Soon available it will be in stores from Monday 6th April. It comes with a sharpening stone so if your removing lots you'll be able to keep it in tip top condition.

    This is the first in a line of 'CornerTape Professional' branded tools and products.

    Best regards

    Andy

    Hi,

    We started with the plastic composite tool (which is good) but this it much longer lasting as its made from steel. Its the same shape is the original so its very easy to use, you have to be a little more careful when using it on plastic baths, but because its the correct shape to start with its much easier to use than a knife.

    No one has them at the min because we only had the first delivery last Thursday. I can tell you that they will be available from a very well known Tile retailer in April as will all our products.

    RRP's have yet to decided, what would you pay for a tool that will last a lifetime????
