Cramer CRA 40407 EN Grouting & Silicone Profiling Kit 7

The CRA 40407 EN Grouting & Silicone Profiling Kit keeps finding its way back into my toolbox—I’m on my third set after trimming the tips to reach the no‑man’s‑land behind sinks and beneath external door thresholds. The range of profile sizes means I can switch from a tight 3 mm bead in the bathroom to a chunky weather‑seal outside without rummaging for improvised tools.The silicone removal scraper deserves its own praise; the interchangeable triple‑blade system slices through old sealant far cleaner than the single‑edge scrapers I used to swear by. Swapping blades is a two‑second job, and the spare edges tuck neatly into the handle so they don’t vanish the moment you open the packet.Longevity and durability is the one caveat. After a few projects—especially the gritty outdoor runs—the once‑smooth plastic edges start to nick and dimple. Those tiny notches translate straight into wobbles in fresh silicone, so I now keep one kit pristine for interior caulking and sacrifice the battle‑scarred pieces for exterior jobs. At this price replacing them every year or so isn’t painful, but it’s worth knowing.Sealability with this tool is second to none with a good size variety.Overall, if you want fuss‑free, professional‑looking beads with minimal clean‑up, this kit hits the mark. Just expect to retire the profiles once they’ve seen serious mileage—or, like me, grab an extra set and customise them to fit the awkward spots no factory edge can reach.

Profiles the silicone so easily and cleanly. What I found most incredible was when I messed up a stretch of silicone by attempting to touch it up after it had begun curing on the surface (I hadn't appreciated how quickly this silicone cured). Remembering a video I'd watched previously demonstrating how easy it was to start again, I scraped off the stretch of silicone I had messed up using the square edged tool and simply relaid it. It was that simple. No water needed.

These seem over priced however do do the job very well and are well made.

I hate doing silicone but this tool makes the job so so much easier. Tried a number of other tools in the past but nothing comes close to this. The removal tool is also very good too and makes light work of removing old silicone - just be careful not to catch things you don’t want scratched!

I bought this kit after watching several YouTube videos. I have used it a few times for a couple of different sizes of silicon beading around a shower and worktop. The material they are made from is easily wiped clean and I had no issues leaving a tidy looking job when using them. For the price they are well worth the money, especially considering that badly applied silicon is an eyesore!

Wasn’t sure if it was all hype be happy with results.DO make sure you use it the right way around. A few YouTubers are not using it the right way and saying it doesn’t work. Well it would and it does if it’s held and used correctly. They say wetsoapy water isn’t needed and it’s true however in a few cases it helps. I have rough stone tiles and it helps on friction as does the black gliders especially floating over grout lines.I’ll never use anything else. Just find some useful YouTube guides after a few different channels watched I was confident enough. With practice it’s great.An update to include a tool for not quite 90 degrees would be a plus but worked around it with some angling of the tools. A few more curve radius sizes a 6 and a 15 is all you get here Adding a 8, 12 would be nice. But I understand that the triangle profile is actually the more correct and stronger one to use so maybe they are pushing us to that profile instead.I did try one in an area and it looked surprisingly neat. So maybe…

It works okay and gives 45 degree angles which gives better mastic adhesion.Easy to clean off the tools with just kichen roll.Like all tools it depends on whether you have right angle junctions. Normally have to push the tools to one wall only. It does clean that wall as you go effectively so no need for additional cleaning. Overall I like the tools and i prefer this to the curved tools that I also have from a different supplier. Depends on you choice of mastic joints.

Brilliant even a novice like me got great results!
