Sell me on the M&R Qwik-Klamp System.

Costs about as much as most sharpeners but way better ROI. Takes like 60 sec to swap out for new rubber.

Thanks everyone.  I am officially sold on it.

We're still using the Shur-Loc squeegee cleaner and haven't had issues with streaks in a long time.  I feel like this is much faster...

I do like the idea of perfectly clean every time though.  Perhaps when we move to 3-4 automatic presses.

we sometimes take a tire iron or something round and solid metal, lay it on the ground, place the squeegee holder on it so the iron sits in the opening of the squeegee holder and hit the top on the holder with a rubber mallet all along the top.  The iron never goes into the holder, but it helps gently pry the 2 pieces apart evenly with no damage to the holder.

I am not good at explaining things, but I think that made sense.

Perfect sense, and sounds like I'll do less damage! Thanks

With difficult or squashed ali squeegee profile, I find it easy enough to insert the blunt ends of some 6" adjustable wrenches and tweak them open with only minor force. I suppose it's a minor inconvenience, beats struggling trying to force the blade in there though.

Thanks for the tip! I did try that but I'm not sure if these are maybe just a little more ceased in their age (I think they sat clamped for a few years gathering dust). I'll roll up the sleeves and pry a little harder!

If they are compressed from usage you can put a chisel in the end and hit with hammer. That should open them to the original opening. Do both ends gradually

That works but I heat the rubber up slightly with a heat gun angle it in and it taps right in with a mallet.

i was just reading about how rubber shrinks when it heats up - Negative Thermal Expansion - works with rubber bands (and your car fan belt), so it must work the same with the squeegee.

Back on track, Eric.........remember you will need all new squeegee holder$$$$$$$$$
