Gasket Wizard...worth buying???

Is the gasket wizard worth buying or is it junk that I'll wind up throwing away? I need to cut down the time it takes to tint front windows and i usually take panels off, but way too time consuming. Thanks for the help.

get the plastic one made for painting. i'm not sure what i's called, but white it comes 6 in a pack and can cut them into different sizes. solargard in anaheim sells them ask larrytintslimo.

I have had a set for years and still bust 'em out about once a month, but I think the plastic ones would save some $.

well the metal set isnt too high. Im not really worried about the price I just want the one that is going to be the most useful. I really just need something to help me do those side windows a little faster.when i try to tuck it I usually get creases like a mofo lol. I usually pop the panels off but way too time consuming.

Many installers swear by the Gasket Wizard and it is a good tool. Others use different tools to achieve the same thing and feel like setting up the Gasket Wizard is too time consuming. I would say that if you are having an issue getting the film tucked, then you might like it. I have even witnessed installers using them in tint competitions where time is an issue, so they can be used efficiently once you get the hang of it.

see thats what im thinking of getting. I just really hate doing those old brittle cars that break everytime you start to pull on the panel. It usually results in a huge discount or a loss in $$$

too big and bulky. I use the red devils

That is a very popular alternative.

red devil? Im isnt that pretty much a pointed hard card or am i thinking of something else???

More flexible than a hard card and roughly 8" long. The thin and flexible tip makes it easy to get behind the gaskets.

I use them and love them, but I don't mess with the bungies. Just watch for the sharp edges, they can cut you and the top of a door panal when you slide them in.

thanks for all the help...I have actually had one of those red devils and i didnt have a clue what it was used for. Wish I still had it now. Its too bad we have thieves in this world. Well they probably just needed my tool box more than I did. I wish I would have caught them in the act tho

all you do when tinting the front doors is use a push stick to tuck the rubber a the bottom of the window gives you the extra room need to lay the bottom of the film and you can cut both doors at one time by laying the 2 piece of tint one with liner facing down then put a second piece of film with the liner facing toward you squeege them together and cut the pattern when done you have left and right patttern also when double shrinking the film it a little tricky cause the film will pop and crackle it but makes doing door window faster

this will help you be faster and not take the door panel off

As stated in another post, I use my Gasket Wizards daily. Love them, will never go back to the old way (well except for F250/Excursions/various other models).

I like them although I rarely use them but they sure are nice to have when the situation calls for it.

dbdreams....your located in madison right?

I was at a local hardware store a few days ago. Pick up a couple trim guards used for painting. Shape just like red devil, but longer 15in and has a handle on it.

Its a little thin then the red devil. Try it out yesterday on a honda civic worked like a charm.
