I get the last out of a tube of paint by using scissors to cut off the end, then scrape out all with a small spatula or anything small enough.
Tip from: Nora Ortega.
After you have rolled that paint tube until there's no more room to roll, but you are annoyed because you can still see paint in there, grab your canvas stretching pliers. Mine have nice wide jaws that are perfect for getting that last dollop of paint out of a tube.
Tip from: Karen
When a tube of paint starts getting empty and I want to ensure I've got most of it out, I use the handle of a brush to squeeze the paint towards the lid -- running it down the tube from the end of the tube to the lid. Sure it's not designed for this, but a brush is always to hand!
