The Laser Tools 7696 Windscreen Twin Suction Cup Handle Set is designed to handle glass weighing up to 40kg.
No, these suction cups require a smooth, non-porous surface to create an effective vacuum seal. They are not suitable for textured or rough materials.
For most windshield replacements, two sets (four handles total) are recommended for balanced and secure handling. Always assess the size and weight of the glass.
If a suction cup loses its grip, immediately secure the glass by other means if possible, and carefully disengage the handle. Assess the surface and the cup for issues before re-attempting to use it.
Clean the suction cups with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the rubber.
Yes, they can be used to handle other large, smooth, non-porous items such as large mirrors, glass panels, or even some appliance doors, provided the weight limit is not exceeded.
The ratchet tie-down strap is typically supplied with the set and may need to be attached or threaded through the handles according to the product's specific design.
Ensure the glass surface and the suction cup rim are clean and free of debris. Check for any damage or warping on the suction cup rim. Ensure the lever is fully engaged to create a seal.
Re-engage the suction lever, ensuring a full seal. For curved glass, ensure the flexible handles are positioned to maximize contact area. Do not exceed the 40kg weight limit.
Ensure the strap is not twisted and is properly threaded through the ratchet mechanism. Check for any obstructions within the ratchet.
Discontinue use immediately. Damaged suction cups can fail. Replace the suction cups or the entire set if they cannot be safely repaired.
Setup: To use the suction cup handles, ensure the surface of the glass and the suction cups themselves are clean and free from dust or debris. Press the handle firmly onto the glass surface. Pull the lever on each suction cup to engage the vacuum seal. Test the security of the grip by gently pulling on the handle before lifting the glass. The ratchet tie-down strap can then be used to further secure the glass as needed.
Compatibility: This set is compatible with smooth, non-porous surfaces, primarily automotive glass such as windshields, rear windows, and other large flat or gently curved glass panels. It is rated for glass weighing up to 40kg.
Care: After each use, clean the suction cups with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Store the handles in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can degrade the rubber over time. Periodically check the suction cups for any signs of wear or damage. If a suction cup loses its seal, inspect the surface and the cup for contaminants or damage.
