Tube Wringer By Gill Mechanical

Picture
The Gill Mechanical Tube Wringer is one of the best tools I have in the studio. It's extremely practical in the sense that it allows you to squeeze every last bit of paint out of the tube. This is especially important for expensive colors such as those cadmium's or cobalt's. They only cost $10 - $15, and are a great investment. They also make a metal version, but my plastic model is plenty strong for tubes of paint, even the larger tubes. If you are an artist with a lot of paint laying around, I recommend picking up a tube wringer. I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
