Warning 🩸Hygger Multipurpose Fish Tank Cleaning Kit

[Bentho]

So a couple of days ago i try out my new hygger Multipurpose Fish Tank Cleaning Kit. I attempted to put on the algae scraper and cut All the years doing this and never had a scraper be knife sharp. 8 stitches and 2,500$

Ouch

I don’t know that specific model but all my long handle algae scrapers use replaceable razor blades. How did that happen?

That really sucks. I'm also curious as to how it happened as well. Hope you heal fast and it doesn't limit you too much.

I guess you just weren't expecting the blade to be quite that sharp. Atleast you know it will scrape the glass well.

Do you make a habit of immediately swiping metal blades across your digits without checking if they're sharp first?

Ok, to be fair, I'd have expected it to be dull too, more like an icescraper.

The bill blows big time, ouch. I would have never have thought that several stitches = $2,500. Crazy….

I suspect that somewhere on that tools packaging, there is some fine print that warns consumers regarding the sharpness of the blade.

Off first Amazon Hygger scraper that I came across....


Attention:

1. Please be careful with the blade, it is sharp. This blade is only use for glass tank.

If possible purchase a pair of cut proof gloves or cut resistant gloves stay safe.

I dunno...when I purchase a knife, shaver or anything else with a blade...I expect it to be sharp, and I'd be unhappy if it weren't.

Anybody remember the case involving a woman who spilled her McDonald's coffee on herself, got scalded...and then sued McD's because the coffee was too hot? Kinda the same idea.

As a fellow Canuckistani, I felt the same way as RD. when I read how much this cost. Wow! We're spoiled up here. You Yankees suffer a mild injury and then pay through the nose for simple basic medical attention. Up here, we aren't out-of-pocket at all when we go to the ER to have this looked at.

Of course, there's an excellent chance we will bleed to death or possibly starve while waiting to be seen... Universal health care is nice...but it's also eventual...
