Note: A Durometer Instrument or Gauge was not used to test hardness of these squeegees. The hardness of the material usually falls between 50 and 90 with 50 being the softest and 90 being the hardest. In our opinion these are medium-soft as they are somewhat pliable and if you press your nail into the rubber it will leave an indentation. We would give them a rating of 60, being Medium-Soft.
