cactuswillysr,


As waysandmeans, mentioned check out the getting started post. My reply will give you some things to think about other than someones opinion including mine. When you ask for opinions you get a very erratic range of results.

I think as professionals we would not or should not bad mouth another company on the forums becuase we all understand we ultimately made the choice.

For every 10 good reviews you might have 2 bad in one group. In the next group it could be the opposite. How many times have gone to a movie or ate at somewhere that someone said was good and you did not like it?

Choose wisely and welcome to the windshield repair industry.


Pay it foward,

Well, after looking at what the other guys have pointed you to. (Which is good info)

If I may put my two cents in.

Check out Delta kits injectors and bridges, ask them about their auto suction cup with the white push button that sucks the air out, I'm to nervous it will escape air and loose the hold. They do have flip lever that may work better? Also ask about the pro's &amp; cons about the cold and heat working with the steal injector.
One would think you would get a bias answer, but surprisingly, their very straight forward. I would probably lean toward them (delta kits ) Just make sure you maintain your equipment well.

Poly- lite is another (less maintance on equipment I been shying away from their metal injector. (eventually the coating will come off)

If your looking for a good drill that has excellent control
Go to Liquid resins intl. Their main unit is not user friendly at all.

UV lights are a tough one. When in doubt I would lean toward delta kits, but certain individual items (like the drill) are better to buy seperate. Of course double check delta catalog. They may have one just like it. well let me check...... nope, doesn't look like it.

Good luck

Cactus,

The awnser is no, they should not be your first choice, stick to Delta, Windshield Doctor, Poly, and many others who offer good reliable equipment.

&lt;snip> is also a no-no.

&lt;edit>Removed company specifics per company's request&lt;/edit>

Firstly, I use Deltakits and probably chose their system for the candy (hint to Jeff, send more candy<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">

However, A golf analogy that might apply here concerning choice of equipment....

I am, by no means, a good golfer. Upgrading from a set of inexpensive clubs to the "best money could buy," did nothing to improve my game (although I at least "look" impressive<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">

However, a good professional golfer, with even the cheapest set of "off the shelf" clubs, would more than likely have the knowledge and experience to use those clubs to his/her best advantage and play a round that comes close to his/her normal score.

Now, give that pro a great set of clubs designed specifically for him/her and I would bet that you could see a marked improvement.

So, I guess the convoluded morale to this epistle is that if one takes the time to really learn all there is to learn about the repair system they purchase and one continually practices his/her repairs, the result for one's customers should be the best quality repair that could have been made.

So, I would suggest that you choose a system from a reputable company that provides plenty of support for their product and start repairing those windshields!

Once the cash flow is there, you can always blow a couple hundred bucks on a different company's bridge/injector/resins and do your own comparisons.
