First scraper was defective. the second is very good
Update after returning the defective scraper and purchasing another (identical) one:<br />At first glance and after first try  the scraper looks good and it is adequate to the job. Enclosed instruction for use is written well and wording is clear. The guard covers the sharp blade well while storing the scraper. Finally, I am completely satisfied with this product. In addition, the manufacturer (Werxrite) cares about its reputation and tries to resolve the issues with their product (see, for example, manufacturer comments to my original review below). This is a huge plus nowadays when the market is flooded in by low quality products. My original review below was caused by two reasons: 1. Instruction card was not enclosed in the package. 2. The blade guard cannot stay (defect) in the closed position. Because of all these reasons, please, disregard my original review below.<br /><br />Update after reading two manufacturer comments for my review may be found in my comment below. Reasons for my review below are explained in my comment. I will update this review later as explained in my comment. For now, please, disregard my review.<br /><br />Original review:<br />Multiple scraper pictures don't show very thin (about 1mm wide) plastic elastic rope that is stretched between the black and red buttons on the pictures of the gray scraper. The red button is attached to the red plastic guard (see it on top of the picture) of the blade, and the black button is attached to the body of the scraper. When you push the red button with your thumb down, the red blade guard moves also down stretching the unshown plastic rope and blade gets naked (working position). When you release the red button, the stretched elastic plastic rope shrinks and pushes the guard up hiding the blade. This plastic rope is so thin that it broke at first use. Second, the red button has to be kept down by the thumb while operating the scraper otherwise the guard immediately moves up hiding the blade. This makes this scraper very awkward to use.
