Maker Steve Galante got the idea to create the Big Squeeze when he realized how much money folks were likely tossing out in not-quite-empty tubes of paint, hair dye, lotion, and toothpaste. He used a 30-year-old industrial tube squeezer from his dad’s dental office, but it wasn’t ideal for around-the-house jobs.

Steve was inspired by a can opener when designing this tube squeezing tool that is Made in the USA. Fit it onto the base of a tube and roll it towards the cap. This action squeezes contents up, so it’s less of a hassle to get every last bit, and there is less waste, too.
