When it comes to product consumption, are you the type of person who doesn’t care about throwing away their near-finished products, or do you go to extremes and cut the tube open to retrieve the product down to the last drop?

If you’d rather toss your toothpaste because you couldn’t retrieve the three or four potential toothbrush sessions remaining in the tube, you may be incrementally losing money by discarding products before they’re truly empty.

This Amazon seller assures you’ll get your money’s worth with this toothpaste squeezer: a small, metal contraption that extracts the last drop of product remaining in your plastic or metal tubes.

If your toothpaste, hair gel, or makeup primer is held captive in its packaging, this easy-to-use gadget compresses the tube by placing it between two interlocking aluminum gears that compress the tube and push the remainingn product towards the top.

In three straightforward steps, you can retrieve the remnants of your product instead of throwing money down the drain by discarding the tube before it’s actually empty. Make the most of your tube-packaged ointments, craft glues, oil paints, hair gels, cosmetics, and toothpastes.

Buyers rave about this tube squeezer, calling it an “effective and economical tool” that helps consumers get the most out of their products. Here’s what some other shoppers are saying about this must-have device.

“It comes with a small squeezer, and that fits 37 ml tubes. The metal squeezer comes with plastic handle wraps to be more comfortable. The size is good, it fits even 130 ml + sized tubes of paint, and it can be used on any type of metal squeeze tube. The only thing I don’t like, is if you try to use it and you twist it a little too much it will spin, causing the tube to wear away and you’ll have a hole in the tube. So use with caution, and don’t try to squeeze more than it will go.” – Hillary C

“This effective and economical tool gets the most of the last toothpaste out of the tube. And easily. It make a thoughtful, surprising gift, too.” – Don Lagerberg

“My collection of watercolor paint tubes have been unused for some time and we’re in various stages of use, some squeezed in the middle. Old arthritic hands weren’t up to the task of getting the pigments out of the tubes. This wonderful tool turned it into an easy task and I’m a happy customer. Thank you.” – Joan M Devillier

“Totally squeezes out every last bit in your tube! Squeezed part of tube is completely flat and has a crinkled appearance from the rollers. Most tubes will stay flat and crinkled after treatment, don’t need to be rolled up to maintain flatness. Has a sturdy, well-made feel. Love it! I’m getting a bunch of these to give to family at Christmas.” – Valarie Hunter
