Default Re: "Lil Buddy"

Welcome to the forum ProTech. I don't get too involved with the replacement side anymore, but I've seen the Lil Buddy demonstrated many times on some very large windshields. I'm 6'3" so in my younger days I could set just about anything by myself, but if I were doing it today I would have a Lil Buddy or similar device for sure. My back just won't take it any more.

I have to admit, even in my prime something like this would have made setting windshields without an assistant much easier. There's nothing worse than dipping the corner in the windshield into a fast set Urethane before you have it in the right spot. Not that that ever happened to me of course!!!

Have you tried the one that Aegis sells? They look very similar to me, and in fact I think there was a law suit to sort out who copied who, but I really don't know the difference, or if one is better than the other.
