anyone used an astro windshield remover?

Just wondering if its worth getting one. I have real trouble removing them, with the old long utility knife.
Looking for someone who has used it and if it really works thanks.

windshield tool

I had a tool but the last time i needed to pull one I couldn;t find it, I use a utility knife around th outside and coat it with motor oil, from the inside I use a thin and flexible kitchen knife and also coat it with a lot of oil .. the cable that you thread thru and try to saw thru usually chips the edge of the glass and leaves a potential for later cracks

I have one. I like it a lot. Sometimes it is hard to get in tight spots though. It cuts right through windshield seals as long as you keep the blade really sharp. If the blade gets dull it's just about worthless. I just sharpen the blade before I use it every time. I can pull out a windshield in about 5 minutes and I haven't broken a windshield while removing it since I got it.
