Tool Aid SG 87900 Windshield Removal Tool, SILVER, One Size

I've never used a tool like this before, but it worked very well. However, I'll have to say, as others have, that you should use a heat gun or blow dryer soften the old seal as you go. Doing that makes a world of difference in how well the tool cuts. It's much more difficult without applying the heat. Be patient, and don't get in a rush.

I tried everything to dig the gobs of sealant away from the rear window of a 1988 Jeep Comanche Chief. I had almost given up. This tool (with a lot of muscle behind it) cut through and allowed the removal of the window. This sealant was THICK and tough. One blade broke halfway through but luckily it came with a spare that allowed finishing of the job. Now for the cleanup 😔

I give this tool high marks for teaching me that Safelite and the local body shops earn their pay.The tool worked until it didn't. I went through both blades which had a tendency to bend. This results in the tool pulling free from the cut as it is used. When it worked it did great, but I was not able to remove the back slider window from my truck using this tool alone. I suspect a mis-selection of blades by me. Also, someone with knowledge could have done it but that was not me. YouTube is great, but hardly replaces actual experience.So if I had to do it again I'd get carbide blades that won't bend. I'd get them shorter so they would break the urethane gasket seal but not hang up against the frame or any of the metal support tabs. But I probably would not do it again.In the end my already-broken slider was removed with this tool, a hammer and the injudicious application of gloves and a lot of force. It was not pretty and I don't want to ever do it again. YMMV.

I do not think I could have completed this job without this tool. I luckily purchased because of someone else's comment. This tool was amazing at lifting off the front rubber weather strip on a 1994 Wrangler. It was then able to cut the polyurethane seal around the windshield itself. Take your time and do multiple runs. The blade slowly works its way through. Not only does the tool work great for slicing and getting into tight spaces, but the ability to use it to dig out the aged weatherstrip was very impressive. Tool held up well under some serious abuse.

I bought this tool having seen one previously but never having used one. On receiving it, I found it to work as expected. In fact, it worked better than expected. For cars of early vintage using glue-in windshields, this will likely meet my needs for years to come. Later model cars may require the long knife style in addition to reach and cut wider waterproof seals.

There are no instructions with this tool, not that they are necessary but it would be helpful. I wanted to remove a good windshield from a junk car and replace a cracked windshield on my daily driver. It only took about a minute to crack the good windshield. I have fairly good mechanical skills but would take blame if I thought it was my fault. The installer may have used too much adhesive, but I believe this tool is only good for removing worthless glass and not to salvage glass. So much for trying to do it myself. Even with the handle I was not able to pull the tool all the way around the windshield. The first cutter blade is already bent from less than on use.As another review stated wear gloves, the screw holes and slot for the blade are not chamfered. The machined edges are quite sharp and until several layers of skin are gone you don't notice the damage to your hands.In review:No instructions includedToo easy to crack the glass for a first time userSharp machined edges cut skinBlades are only good for one windshield each.

I have a project car that is 35 years old, being a project car I can't roll it outside to bake in the sun. So I removed the windshield and rear glass with all of the odds against me. It was cold (mid 50's), the silicone was aged and hard, and I was a rookie that had no idea what I was doing. I used a single blade razor to remove any excess silicone and then went to work with this tool. It worked PERFECTLY. I removed the windshield and 85% of the rear window before I felt I needed to swap to the (included) 2nd blade to get the job done. Highly recommend this tool over the knock off at Harbor Freight for the same price.

This product is not finished! The holes where the screws go in to change the blade are so sharp that it cuts small circles into your hands and it is not going to work for every window! I not only wasted my time but I am still healing from the many cuts in my hands and my back window shattered because this tool was not good for my 98 Chevy Malibu...If you use this product then make sure you wear gloves as the product does not have any warning labels or instructions! As a matter of fact I am pretty pissed off and wish I took pictures of what it did to my hands so I can sue them for pain and suffering and a broken window! This tool sucks!!!
