Product description
The subject item is a repair "kit" which includes the following items: a) Windshield repair tool made primarily of solid brass and contains a small amount of plastic and rubber b) 1 drill and charger c) 1 carrying case d) 1 drill bit e) 4 razor blades f) 2 bottles of resin The windshield repair tool, item a above, is Canadian made. The balance of the items are products of the U.S.A. The primary purpose of the system is for stone-chip repairs. The brass tool is comprised of a leveller, bridge bar, plunger, pressure-control gauge, release valve, cup and o-ring. The pressure-control gauge instrument informs you on how much pressure is being used to force the resin into the stone-chip, allowing you to lessen the amount of distortion and halo marks created in comparison to other repair systems. Its built in vacuum system draws the air and humidity out of the stone-chip, thereby creating a less visible and longer-lasting repair than other systems.
