25 years in the industry. The best tool for removing tight fly screens vanished from the market completely. No maker, no stock, no decent alternative.

So I designed my own from scratch, had it injection moulded, and it's now available. Glass-filled plastic so it won't snap under a stubborn screen, same narrow tip profile that actually gets behind flush-mounted and velcro-backed frames. When you need it, you need it!

Here's the journey of the making, if you're interested: https://www.xprt.tools/post/i-couldn-t-buy-the-tool-i-needed-so-i-made-it

Happy to answer any questions.

25 years as a window cleaner. One essential tool for removing fly screens disappeared from the market completely. No alternatives came close - or they did damage.

So I designed my own, got a crash course in plastic injection moulding, and learned that the more you understand about manufacturing, the more you realise you don't know.

Full story on my blog, including the back-and-forth with engineers over a 0.8mm tip that nearly didn't happen: https://www.xprt.tools/post/i-couldn-t-buy-the-tool-i-needed-so-i-made-it

Happy to answer any questions about the process.
