When to choose it

Choose this tool for acrylic when you want to reach beyond the areas that suit a handheld pad. The manufacturer identifies a scrubbing pad on an extended handle. Check how much grip you can keep above the opening while positioning the pad.

The contact surface is a pad rather than a metal blade. API directs you to use it on wet surfaces and rinse away any gravel caught in the pad. Compare the handheld API pad for areas close to the opening where you want direct control.
