CRAFTSMAN 1-inch Gasket Scraper with Bi-Material Comfort Handle — Precision Machined Blade, Lifetime Warranty

The CRAFTSMAN Automotive Gasket Scraper (CMMT98354) is a 1-inch, precision-machined scraper designed to remove old gaskets, sealant and carbon deposits from flat surfaces with a comfortable bi-material handle and lifetime warranty.

This hand tool pares away stubborn gasket material, dried sealant and baked-on carbon from engine flanges, transmission covers and other flat mating surfaces. Built for mechanics and DIYers alike, its machined blade provides a consistent edge for controlled scraping while the bi-material handle reduces hand fatigue and improves grip during repeated use. Backed by CRAFTSMAN’s Full Lifetime Warranty, it’s intended as a durable addition to any garage toolbox.

How does the scraper remove old gaskets safely?

The precision-machined 1-inch blade delivers a straight, sharp scraping surface that removes residue without excessive force, helping protect mating surfaces from gouges. Its size lets you target thin gasket seams and gives leverage for stubborn spots.

• 1-inch machined edge for accurate scraping
• Slim profile reaches narrow gasket channels
• Controlled leverage reduces risk of surface damage

What makes the handle comfortable for extended use?

The bi-material handle combines a firmer core with softer overmolding where your hand contacts the tool, increasing comfort and slip resistance. This construction helps maintain a secure grip even with oily hands, so you can work longer with less strain.

• Bi-material comfort grip for reduced hand fatigue
• Textured contact areas improve control with oily hands
• Ergonomic shape fits common hand sizes for steady pressure

Which tasks and surfaces is this scraper best suited for?

It’s intended for flat mating surfaces such as cylinder heads, oil pans, valve covers, and transmission housings. Use it to remove paper, composite, cork gaskets, old sealant and light carbon buildup before installing a new gasket or sealant.

• Ideal for engine and transmission flange cleaning
• Effective on paper, composite and gasket sealant residues
• Not for heavy-duty chipping or prying—designed as a precision scraping tool

How is durability and support handled?

The blade is precision machined for consistent edge geometry and long-term performance, while the overall tool is supported by CRAFTSMAN’s Full Lifetime Warranty. That warranty provides added assurance that the tool is built for repeated workshop use.

• Machined blade maintains edge consistency over time
• Robust handle-to-blade connection resists loosening
• CRAFTSMAN Full Lifetime Warranty for long-term backing

Who is this for: The CRAFTSMAN 1-inch Gasket Scraper CMMT98354 is made for professional technicians and home mechanics who need a reliable, precise tool to clean mating surfaces before reassembly. If you value edge accuracy, comfortable grip and a warranty-backed tool for routine engine, transmission and maintenance work, this scraper fits neatly in a mechanic’s kit or household tool chest.
