Default Great little tool

I found a great little knife at Home Depot. It's made by a company called Klein Tools and is called a cable splicer knife. It works great for trimming the old urethane for a new bead.

Hey! I have one of those..... but I only use it to splice cables Not to make fun of this product for urethane cutouts but you'll have to re-sharpen it often if your using it daily. Best thing I've found to date cutting out old urethane is your basic long knife with a new blade replacement every 2-3 shields. I have other razor sharp pinchwell scraping tools made by equilzer but to be totally honest, they snap way to often. That gets a little costly.

Jeff,

I'm impressed....you shared some glass replacement info

Less "glass replacement" info, and more "search around on the internet til you find it" info! Wanted to see what it looked like!

Our shop has a set of these.



They work awesome if you can keep em sharp. But I am file challenged and cannot get the hang of sharpening a double edged horseshoe shaped blade.
