Not that good

Meh. Not very good at getting all the liquid off the film. Wet it first and squeeze out water then squeegee - streaks. I might replace the horrible sponge with chamois.

Totally worth it

I would just use my fingers before, but that frequently left streaks and spots on my negatives, even with Photo-Flo. I got this to help eliminate that. I dunk them in the Photo-Flo solution and draw them down over the negative, and this really helps minimize streaks and spots almost to the point of eliminating them. It's not 100%, but an easy 99%. Very glad I got this.

What you see is what you get

Has one job and performs it adequately. Relatively inexpensive when compared to other film squeegees, but still pricey for what it is (a big piece of plastic with a cut up sponge glued on either side). I knew what I was purchasing and it met my expectations, so I can't complain.

Great product

It’s fine for its purpose which is to suck out the wetness of your negatives after developing.

Item description is very wrong

The item description claims it to be rubber bladed. That is very incorrect. This is two pieces of sponge glued to a plastic tong. Absolute junk. Im sorry I didnt pay attention to the details.
