Windshield Repair Forum

***This is a repost***

Lets face it, many systems if not all when in the hands of a skilled technician will produce structurally sound repairs. So how are so many MFG's to separate themselves then? The marketing of the technology and of fundamental differences. Sometimes that marketing information may be misleading and confusing. It is up to the consumer to disect and process it unfortunately.

So if most equipment will do good repairs when trained properlly on that equipment, consider what is really importatnt to you if you were working in the field, is it?

1. How tooling feels in your hand (you know, when something is designed right it feels like and extension of your hand, not awkward in your hand)
2. Ease of setup (how does the tooling attach, adjust, hoses, vacuum pumps)
3. Ease of use (how awkward it is to adjust equipment during repair)
4. Ability to easily adjust to the repair location and during the repair (verticle,edge,curve)
5. Speed of repair (you know this is not drag racing so the actuall time differences are negligible to say the least.)
6. Ease of tooling breakdown for cleaning (you will be cleaning quite a bit)
7. Minimal seals and o-rings (this means more to buy in the long run)

My tooling preference of choice is Delta Kits for the reasons I listed and many more. It really is a no hype, well designed and constructed, consistant performing tooling and resins, super simple to use and maintain. My intent was for you or anyone to think about what will be important to you in the field. So now go back and look at the brands you were considering without falling into the marketing campaigns web. Good luck to you.

Amazing feedback guys, thanks. I'm trying to find out what the majority of people on this forum think is the best. I barely know nothing of both systems and this WSR forum has helped alot in learning about the Delta Kit. Alot of oldtymers say "Nothing beats the Novus system" but they will never get in to why it's so much better. How much training is required for the Delta Kit ? Sorry about the multiple questions.

I am an old tymer as you put it and do not remember saying that, there again the old memory may be playing up. Novus was good, check out who owns them you may have a suprise.

What works BEST for me may not be what works BEST for you. Do some research and make your own decision. A good tech will be able to make most all of them work. I like mine, Brian likes his,Screen likes his. Keep tooling clean and ready to perform. Carry yourself professionally and be able to sell. Interact with customers also.

Hey there. I myself have never used the Delta kit hey if they sent me one for a trial period I would not say no???-- You cannot say one kit is better than another it depends on the person?? I myself have the old VP vacume pressure system using a motor bike battery in the system as power ie (Glass Technology) I think my repairs are better now than when I started in the buisness in 1992 ie ( prizm method)

I think you can give a personal opinion of what you think is best only as in my case you have tried others, if you have not then it is not possible.
