Customers are mixed about the weight of the art and craft supply. Some mention it's heavy enough for their biggest paint tubes and does get every last bit out, while others say it'll last a long time.

Customers are mixed about the size of the art and craft supply. Some mention it's strong, fits all sizes, and is wide enough to fit the width of most tubes. They say it'll easily squeeze 37ml and 200ml paint tubes with little effort. Others say it’s kind of on the big side, and not practical for using with toothpaste tubes. The knob is too big to clear the surface underneath, so you can't rest it.

Customers are mixed about the crimping. Some like the way it crims the tube so paint cannot be squeezed, neatly, and keeps tubes crimped for quite some time. However, others say that the tubes are heavy and hard to squeeze, and that it doesn't crimple tight enough.

"...It also makes the tubes stack neatly and easier to read after partial use.Incredibly happy with purchase. Wish I had this years ago." Read more

"I use this on tubes of epoxy, which is very thick so the tubes are hard to squeeze. Works perfectly." Read more

"...I especially like the way it crimps the tube so paint cannot be squeezed back downwards...." Read more

Tube wringer crimps tubes as it pushes out paint: paint can not leak back into the recesses of the tube, you get every drop
I am an artist and recently I have fallen in love with artist grade water color paints in tubes. like daniel smith, mission gold, white knights etc. This paint is so expensive because it is so finely pigmented. I have several 5ml tubes that were over 12.00 each. The paint does go a long way, but that made me think that I was leaving far too much of it in the tube when i thought it was empty. I purchased this tube wringer to pry out those last precious dregs of paint in each tube. It truly is amazing how much is still in the tube when i could not physically squeeze it any more I swear there is enough in there for a few more paintings! This tube wringer crimps the tube as it pushes the paint out so that the paint can not leak back into the recesses of the tube so you get every bit, no matter how you pressed and squeezed no one's hands can get out all the paint that this tube wringer easily wrings out.. After 3 crimps are formed you can cut the length of the tube if you want to. (I dont). I can also see this working in my kitchen for tubes of pesto and tomato paste.. Score! Art and food!

I bought this metal tube wringer because I was doing gouache and water color painting and the paints are VERY expensive, especially the good to excellent ones. You really want to squeeze EVERY drop out. A tube wringer was recommended. I had never heard of or seen one before. But what I first used it for was a tube of very expensive pain cream. This squeezed every drop out and as it crimps the tube, you can cut it off at the bottom and thus make the tube smaller for storage. This works on both metal and plastic tubes. I saw a tube ringer with plastic parts for sale but I'm glad I bought this one because it is very well made, strong, will last forever, and I will obviously have to pass it on in my will with instructions. It doesn't look fancy dancy but it's not ugly either. It is utilitarian - designed to be useful and practical which it is. I'm glad I bought it.

I used this in my studio for paint tubes. Can't imagine life without it. It works great, gets every last bit of paint (which is sometimes expensive!) out of the tubes. It pushes the paint up towards the top and then crimps the bottom. It's really sturdy; I've used it for a long time.
I bought the second one for the workshop, and to be honest, as security. Where would I ever get something I depend on so much if something happened to the first one? I haven't had occasion to use it yet, but am definitely not sorry I bought it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tube Wringer, Where Have You Been All My Life?!?!? Love it!
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2021

Sturdy as Superman, Easy as key lime pie, and I will NEVER part with this Gill Mechanical Company Tube-Wringer! When I think of how much watercolor, acrylic or oil paints I have thrown away, I can only say how grateful I am to have bought this! Not only is it fun to use, it saves a huge amount from each tube.

If you have old tubes of watercolor that have dried up, you must first get water in there and soften it up, if not, you will just be crunching dried up paint. Not the idea here, so we need moist paint. My great accomplishment is that in the 100 (shhh, don't tell) Daniel Smith Watercolors I have acquired over the years, they are now all sitting pretty and have that sweet zigzag crimp with the paint sitting proudly at the top of the tube. I have tried forever to use other items to squeeze paint out of the flattened used up tube end, with nothing even close to the success I have with the tube-wringer. Bottles, credit cards, jewelry hammers, edges of my desk,.... yes, I've tried everything, even stepping on them, however, this wringer gets all except for the residue left behind. This is surely one of the best tools in my art studio.

At first, I hesitated over the price, which could buy two new tubes of paint, and thought about it for a few days after which, I finally took the plunge! Woohoo! OMG, don't blink twice, get it, I promise you two things: firstly, you will no longer waste paint, and secondly, this little tool is by far, so much fun!

One thing to note: do NOT squeeze them tight trying to get the old metal tube smoothed out with the pressure of the newly gathered paint. If you do,... once you take off the paint tube cap, you will be left with regurgitation of paint expelled out of the tube due to the pressure you created. So, gathering the paint up towards the top is the goal, but leave a little finger width of room for the paint to not be jammed tight. Don't ask how I know this, I'll never tell.

Keep on painting!

Upon receiving this tube crimper, I immediately set about crimping every tube in my path. This crimper is not really meant to be used on plastic tubes, but you can bet your bottom dollar I did just that anyway. It works best on metal tubes, especially my acrylic paint tubes, but I strangled the plastic tubes more or less into submission. It is unusually fun to operate and I found myself lacking for fresh tubes in no time. I dropped the crimper while trying to crimp a particularly stubborn tube. It did a number on my foot, but the crimper itself was completely unharmed. I imagine I will have this crimper for the rest of my life and will share many important life events with it, such as crimping my future children's umbilical cords with ease and gusto.

I got the 401 size & it works just as well with small tubes as it does larger. Seems like a rather flexible item. I’ve even used it for harder to squeeze silicon tubes. Great investment. Robust build quality. This thing appears it will last a long time.

admit it, you've read the reviews of people who have bought this running around and squeezing all their tubes and you've thought to yourself how silly that sounds. I thought the same thing - then I bought this! and now I can completely understand the urge to wring all the paint tubes [or any tubes in general] I own!!
this thing is awesome! and it does make you wonder how you managed to squeeze all you paint tubes without owning one!?
it's quite wide so all your paint tubes are guaranteed to fit
is abit hefty but once you start using it you don't really notice the weight [unless you tilt your wrist to the side, but to be honest it's not really that heavy - possibly about the same weight as an A5 book]
it is hand-held, so you do have to squeeze it abit on the tight side to make sure your getting all that paint hiding at the bottom of the tube ^^
you do have to resist the urge to over-squeeze your tubes - if you over-do it then paint will gush out of the top as soon as you take the cap off
this will also wring plastic tubes [example Winsor & Newton's Galeria paint tubes [there are 2 versions knocking around, the original 'tin foil' and the replacement plastic tubes]] but as is to be expected, don't expect the pleats to stay there. They will remain but the first few lines will start to slowly pop back into it's original shape.

overall impressions, this is a good thing to own - wither you use a lot of tube paint or a little, it's nice to know you'll be squeezing out your money's worth ^^
