1. Introduction: Power Tool and
Safety
BTB’s patented windshield and auto glass removal tool successfully
removes all types of adhesive set automotive glass and components
including glasses with bonded mouldings, encapsulated mouldings
and/or where the adhesive is located away from the edge of
the glass, or hidden far below the dashboard area. The blade
reciprocates against the surface of the glass OR the pinchweld / car
body, to quickly and efficiently cut the adhesive. Force is eliminated
and expensive undamaged glass and mouldings may be reused. A
certain level of skill and proficiency quickly develops from applying
the tool to a range of cut-out types.
