SmartCut is a very light and simple to use windshield cut out tool. Due to its small size it can be used for windshields, backlights and also quarter lights. Thanks to it’s compatibility with steel wire (SmartCut Square Wire) and PE fiber (SmartCut Fiber) it can be used on all types of windshields.
