Fl!pper is a new patented glass and acrylic cleaner that has the ability to flip working surfaces in your tank simply by rotating the outer handle. How cool is that?! No more getting your hands wet scraping the glass to get rid of that encrusted coralline algae.

Razor blade attachment.

The unit comes with two work surfaces:

1. A scrub pad for general scrubbing
2. An attachment for either a stainless-steel razor blade for glass or a specially designed serrated ABS blade for acrylic tanks

This scraper uses high-strength rare earth magnets to couple the inner and outer sections together and can handle glass up to 1/2 inch thick. It is also designed in such a way that it will remain upright at all times for easy retrieval if the two sections become separated.

Scrub pad.

Not only can you flip sides but you can also flip the inner scraper around corners by using the same flipping technique which the second video below demonstrates.

The unit will cost $19.99 (limited time offer) and will be available from FlipperCleaner.com on January 30, 2012.

The below two videos demonstrate the dual cleaning action of the Fl!pper and how to flip the scraper in your tank without getting your hands wet.

Let us know if you pick up one of these units and what you think of it.
