Question 1

Tool arrived and i realized i can't get the screens off without tearing them up. back to square one. thanks for trying to help

Accepted Answer

Not enough information there. If you have wooden-framed screens whose frames are stuck to the exterior window casing, they might be nailed on with finish nails. Using several prying tools and stiff scrapers might help, establishing a little gap first with a stiff scraper at the bottom, and then working up a little bit at a time, using thinner tools higher up and thicker one below, until you find the nails. Then you can use a flat-bar to pry close to them to open up about a 1/4" or 1/2" gap, and then look for another nail higher up. With a little patience, you can pry the thing off without ruining it.

Question 2

How do I know if this is a real Hyde tool and not a counterfeit like so much of the merchandise on Amazon?

Accepted Answer

I've been shopping on both Amazon and the other outfit since their inceptions and have NEVER had a problem with counterfeit items. It's hard to imagine how they could stay in business with "so much of the merchandise" being fake.  I can definitely vouch for this item. Its a genuine Hyde for sure. The only difference from the one I bought in a San Francisco hardware store 30 years ago, is that this newer model has a more durable plastic handle instead of wood which eventually failed.

Question 3
