🔨 Steck Manufacturing 20016 Right Angle Seam Buster Tool Review

Ideal tool for removing hard to reach areas such as corners or bends. Very strong and sturdy, withstands multiple heavy hits.

I used this to remove a quarter circle on garage door trim. It worked great. He struck at right angles with a hammer and quickly removed the wood.

One of those tools that only works if you know how to use it. The guys at work have seamstresses who are over 10 years old and they show it but still show up on every job. It doesn't have as much action as a straight buster, but it comes in handy for some of the crazy joints you see these days.

Nice design. Used to cut spot welds on Mustang 65. Slightly fades after about 30 pre-drilled welds. Easy to sharpen. If you pay attention to place the sharp edge at the weakest point of the drilled weld point, the service life will be extended. Will buy again when this one is at its best.

Very convenient removal of spot welds and body panels in car restoration. Straight is even better! I use them a lot, especially in combination with a broaching torch ("drill" for spot welding). Still have their advantage after many abuses. Worth the price but if you only want to get one go ahead, you won't regret it.

Steck make fantastic products around the world and gouging machines are a must-have tool for anyone in the body or hot rod/restoration industry. Extremely durable and perfectly ground for strength and sharpness. Drill your spot welds as best you can, use this to separate the seams and punch through the remaining small section of the weld missed by the drill.

I like the fact that the tool is very well made and strong enough to cut the steel spot welds; body work. When I received this tool I was amazed at how indestructible it is. I would highly recommend this tool to anyone who needs to do a seam ripper on vehicles or anywhere else you can find them.

I'm new to spot welding. I have a 1957 Chevy truck, very thick steel. After drilling the weld spots, this tool did a fantastic job cutting them from any metal that was still welded together. I had expected that the impact on the tool would cause severe hardening and the sharp edge would dull quickly. I believe you must abuse the tool to damage it. I buy both this and the direct version.
