Many food and cosmetic products, household goods are packaged in convenient metal or plastic containers - tubes. This form is convenient not only for manufacturers, but also for consumers - the contents of the tube can be easily dosed, it can be stored hermetically sealed and practically does not come in contact with air, preserving its properties. The only drawback of such packaging is that it is difficult to squeeze out the contents to the end.
Instruction manual

The contents of metal tubes made of fairly soft alloys such as toothpastes, various adhesives and sealants can be squeezed almost to the end using a plastic stick with a flat surface. This may be the handle of a knife, toothbrush, etc. Open and place the tube on a flat, even surface - the edge of the sink or table, Holding the end of the tube, squeeze out the rest of the contents, lead along it with a tightly pressed stick. In this way, you can squeeze almost all of it.

To make it convenient to squeeze the contents out of the tubes, some manufacturers put special handles in the packaging for squeezing the contents. In their appearance, they resemble a key with a double-sided head, but without a beard, with a slot or slot in length. If you put the end of the tube in this slot and start twisting it, then the paste or glue can easily be squeezed to the end.

The leg height of this letter should be slightly wider than the flat end of the tube. You got a real gadget to squeeze out the contents of the tubes.
