karen,
First let me welcome you in advance to the wonderful world of windshield repair.

My first equipment was used. It got me started. Some of the tools I still use, although I did upgrade to better bridge-injector assembly after about 2 years, but my first equipment did serve me very well, and I have no regrets about purchasing it.

If you are sure you are going to stay in the business, and can afford new, shop wisely and get good tools right off. However, you can often get good buys in e-bay if you have the time to wait for what you want, and bid wisely.

Be sure you get good training. No matter what system you purchase, without proper knowledge about windshield repair, it wont matter how good your tools are.

I wish you much success in this business. Grace
