Got mine for $3 at Harbor freight

I am actually planning on getting that one. How well does it work?

Works great. Can apply a lot of elbow grease for those tough really baked on clinker, and the edge so far is showing no sing of wear since I got it 3 months ago.

What a great tool! After reading about using a gasket scraper to clean the burn-pot on various posts about cleaning your stove, I set out to buy one. Neither the local auto supply store nor HD had one, although the guy at the auto supply was ready to order one for me, all the time wondering why I didn't just use a screwdriver. Not wanting to wait, I kept looking around.

While at SEARS with Madame Defarge last weekend, just after I had cleaned the stove that morning, I took a look at their auto repair tools. The clerk had no idea what I was looking for but sent me in the right direction where I found 2 different sizes of gasket scrapers. What a great tool. Made in USA, sharp tapered edge and about 7/8" wide. Cleaned out all the carbon buildup in my burn-pot with no effort at all and with greater success than the Harman supplied "Arrow" tool or a screwdriver.

I think I will buy the wider one as well (about 1 1/2") and get it ground down to match the contour of the Harman arrow and use it to clean the heat exchanger next year.

Undoubtedly the best tool I have ever bought for $9.99!

Mind posting the sku or item number of it?

I don't have the packaging anymore, but the handle is embossed with "43292 P USA"
