OEMTOOLS 3-Pc Gasket Scraper Set — Heat-Treated Blades & Steel Striking Caps (3/4", 1", 1-1/2")

Whether you're refreshing an engine component or prepping a flange for a new seal, the OEMTOOLS 26501 set gives you three blade widths to tackle a range of surface sizes. These scrapers combine hardened steel cutting edges with corrosion-resistant finishing and steel striking caps so you can use a hammer when stuck-on material needs extra force. The set is compact, easy to store, and built to resist wear so it stays useful through many maintenance jobs.

How do these scrapers remove stuck gaskets and residue?

The scrapers rely on a sharp, heat-treated edge to cut and pry away gasket material, while the robust striking caps let you apply controlled impact when needed. The black-oxide finish helps prevent rust, keeping edges functional between uses. Use steady, shallow passes to avoid gouging softer surfaces.

• Three blade widths (3/4", 1", 1-1/2") for matched surface coverage
• Hardened steel edges for efficient scraping without bending
• Steel striking caps enable light hammer taps to free stubborn deposits
• Black-oxide finish reduces corrosion after repeated exposure

Which surfaces and parts are these scrapers suited for?

They are designed to clear gasket residue, sealant and adhesive from many metal and rubber surfaces commonly found on engines and transmissions. While effective on steel and aluminum, use caution on soft or plated surfaces to avoid cosmetic damage. They are also helpful for cleaning mating surfaces before installing a new gasket.

• Cylinder heads, oil pans, valve covers and transmission housings
• Steel, aluminum and rubber gasket seating areas
• Old sealant and adhesive removal prior to reassembly
• Light surface rust and stubborn deposits

How do I use and maintain the OEMTOOLS 26501 scrapers safely?

Always hold the blade at a low angle and work outward from the center to reduce the chance of gouging. Wear gloves and eye protection when striking or prying; the striking caps are there to focus hammer energy safely. After use, wipe blades clean, lightly oil if storing for long periods, and replace any scraper that becomes chipped or excessively worn.

• Use low-angle scraping strokes and steady pressure
• Apply hammer taps only to the steel striking cap, not the blade edge
• Clean and dry blades, then apply light oil for long-term storage
• Inspect edges and retire scrapers that are chipped or deformed

What sizes are included and when should I pick each one?

The set contains 3/4", 1", and 1-1/2" blade widths so you can select the right size for the surface area and access. Use the narrow blade in tight spots or around bolt heads, the medium for general gasket work, and the wide blade for larger mating surfaces. Choosing the proper width improves control and reduces the risk of damaging the surrounding metal.

• 3/4" blade: ideal for tight clearances and detailed work
• 1" blade: versatile for most gasket removal tasks
• 1-1/2" blade: fastest for broad surfaces and heavy deposits

Who is this for: The OEMTOOLS 26501 three-piece set is aimed at professional technicians, home mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need reliable scraping tools for engine, transmission and gasket work. If you regularly replace seals, clean mating surfaces, or maintain automotive components, these hardened scrapers offer a durable, compact solution to speed prep work and produce cleaner gasket seats without reaching for improvised tools.
