 Inexspensive but Effective Tool October 27, 2009
David M. Johnson (dallas texas)
I used the HYDE TOOLS #45200 Window Open Tool to open three windows that were painted shut on a 60+ year old house. On a prior attempt I used a standard utility knife,a putty knife, and a wood chisel without success. At a loss to open the stuck windows a professional house painter told me I needed the right tool for the job. I bought the Hyde tool on line from Amazon. After "on the job" training I began to make headway. The tool had a spear point with "saw teeth" on the edges. A sawing action cut the old layers of paint on a wooden window frame. The blade is thin enough to work between the window and frame to cut through glue like old paint holding the window shut. A word to the wise, it only cuts paint, it won't take abuse from prying. The metal handle on mine cracked above the rivets. I used a borrowed "wonder" type blue pry bar to pry the window open, I don't remember the brand but it a more useful design than my old model pry bar. I used the excellent Bessey folding utility knife to cut a groove in the paint to start and finished up with the Hyde tool. I would buy another HYDE Window Open Tool without hesitation.
 Alternate use May 20, 2009
Robert T. Anderson Jr.
The standard use for this product is to cut loose painted shut windows. And I assisted in this standard use. But I also use it for an alternate use.
Weeding. Slide the triangle shape blade just under the surface of the earth under the weed and push. The weed is cut loose from its deep roots and is easy to pull. Works great.
The tool is well made and rugged and it works great for its intended purpose also.
