I've looked at these in the shops. Good idea. I currently do it with a knife and use the scabbard like the squideasy tool to invert the hood. It's not a perfect solution and the tool will be worth it if it really reduces the time it takes to clean them. It's a bigger of a job, messy and time consuming. Let us know how you find it..

Looks like easy work, $25 for a piece of plastic seems a bit steep?

I don't think the tool really reduces the time in cleaning personally.

Keep in mind the squid in the video have been frozen and thawed which makes it much easier.
