BTB is the best been using it since 1997. Cuts out every piece of glass with precision. No encapsulation damage and no paint damage. Runs on air only. Great for body shops.
FRED I TRIED THE BTB. IN A FEW APPLICATIONS IT DID GOOD BUT I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MOST THINGS I TRIED IT ON. IS THERE A TRICK THAT YOU FOUND THAT I MAY HAVE BEEN MISSING?

I do not work for them.

Most techs have a problem if they arc the tool and blade, they don't have the blade and tool inline with each other, very important. You must use an approved cutting lubricant. When you hold the tool your hand it should be palm up, with the tool between your hand and the glass. One hand, don't grab it with two hands.
One trainer described it as a surgical device.
Has anybody checked out the Induction heating units they are touting for glass removal? They sound great but I imagine they can cause more damage than their worth. I'm sure it's like the Extractors,Fien knifes and BTB,they all can cause alot of damage if not used correctly.
