Has anyone tried these parting line scrapers? Any good? Which one are you using? Have you ever dealt with the seller?

Just received one today.
Not bad, $5 shipping and was here is under a week.
Haven't used it yet, but I'm not sold on it.
It's well packed, with a hologram label for authenticity, etc, but the piece itself is about 2.5 by 1.5 inches and relatively flimsy. Not in the shop right now, so I can't put a micrometer on it, but think the original klunky DML Smart kit PE in terms of thickness and flexibility. Reminds me of the old Tamiya zim tools. Not sure how much it will actually scrape styrene if there's raised flash or something, seems likely to crease with any effort, but it may clean up a nice joint that fits well.
I got the 80021 listed for figures. In theory, it'd be useful, but I think you may be better served by just getting a sheet of stainless or brass and grinding out different profile notches.
I'll try it out soon, I'm going to start a Forbidden Planet Robby kit which has a ton of different radius seams throughout.
