Residential Tinting Tools

[Guest Lux Window Films]

I have a basic idea of everything I need to buy.

Please would love some tips from the pros on what tools to buy.

Only thing I am really worried about is cutting. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS

tool list, to start

good olfa knife with stainless blades

6" triumph with ss blades

good rubber squeege with handle

film squeege with handle, ex. blue max

various hard cards, they are usually cheap

some people like the 5way tool for cutting the edges, I have always cut the edges free hand

spray bottle

if you are serious, buy a good ladder, like a little giant, dont do like me and have all kinds of ladders of various sizes

I'm sure this list is incomplete, so everyone add to it for him

I actually have an adjustable latter like those little giants allready.

Where can I find the cutting tool. I couldnt find anything like that on 44tools.com.

Again thanks for the help

Ok I see what you are talking about. I guess the "Edge" would work too as a cutting tool.

[Guest darkdan]

I don't care for the edge as a trim guide. Just doesn't feel comfortable for me. I use a hard card or a five way as a trim guide.

(note, it doesn't cut the edge, it just holds the film in place while you cut it)

A nice roll a way tool box is nice you can of course have all of your tools and if you get one with a removable tray you can put your liners and scraps in the box and not in their trash. Don't forget a nice tape measure and sometimes a nice drop cloth has come in handy when your working around a wood floor or nice carpet. Good luck!
