WRD Orange Bat - Kit 300 K | WRD-OB-300K

Product Description

The WRD Orange Bat Kit 300 K (SKU: WRD-OB-300K) is a professional-grade, dual-spindle fiber line auto glass removal system. Designed by WRD Glass Tools to provide safe, efficient, and damage-free windshield extractions, the original Orange Bat platform is a favourite among mobile auto glass technicians. By utilizing high-tensile fiber line (Spider Line) instead of traditional metal wire, this system eliminates the risk of scratching the pinchweld, cutting the vehicle's paint, or damaging interior dash panels during the cut-out process.

This 300 K base configuration is engineered around a top-connection dual-spindle assembly, allowing the user to operate the tool using a standard cordless drill or seamlessly transition to the included Hand Crank 360 for manual precision in sensitive corners. The dual-spindle design supports complex line-direction changes as the cut progresses, making it highly adaptable to varied vehicle geometries, tight access points, and difficult quarter-glass removals.

Key Features

• Dual-Spindle Pull: Two spindle positions effortlessly support line-direction changes as you cut around corners, accommodating a wide variety of glass geometries.

• Drill or Manual Drive: The top connection port allows you to power the assembly smoothly with a cordless drill, or switch to the Hand Crank 360 when tactile feedback is critical.

• Damage-Free Fiber Line: Includes 96 meters of Spider Line PN8. This heavy-duty cutting fiber slices cleanly through urethane but will not cut metal, protecting the vehicle's paint and pinchweld.

• Flexible Setup: Extremely reposition-friendly, allowing the technician to easily adapt the tool mounting location when geometry changes throughout the extraction.

• Base Kit Configuration: The 300 K is the foundational Orange Bat kit. It does not include the Angle Driver 2.0 (sold separately or included in the 300 W kit), making it a cost-effective option for technicians who don't require the angle attachment.

What's Included in the Kit

The WRD-OB-300K comes packed in a custom plastic tool case with all the essential hand tools to complete a fiber-line extraction:

• Main Assembly: Orange Bat Assembly (WRD-OBA)

• Line & Dispensing: Spider Line PN8 - 96m (WRD-PN8-96), Cutting Line Dispenser (WRD-LD)

• Drive Tools: Hand Crank 360 (WRD-HC), Bit Set (WRD-BS), U Bit (WRD-UB)

• Storage & Docs: Orange Bat Plastic Tool Case (WRD-OBPB), Instruction Manual (WRD-IM)

Ideal For

• Mobile Auto Glass Techs: A compact, highly capable system designed to handle standard windshields, quarter-glass, and back glass out in the field.

• High-Value Vehicles: Preventing expensive collateral damage to aluminum pinchwelds, clear coats, and luxury dashboards that traditional wire tools easily slice into.

• Complex Glass Geometry: Effectively removing glass on vehicles with extremely tight tolerances or severe curves where line-repositioning is required.

Common Questions

Q: What is the difference between the Orange Bat 300 K and 300 W kits?
A: The core components are exactly the same, but the 300 W kit includes the WRD Angle Driver 2.0 (WRD-AD2). The 300 K is the base kit chosen by technicians who either already own an angle driver from another tool or simply prefer a direct top-connection drive without needing the angle attachment.

Q: Can I use an impact driver with this tool?
A: No. WRD explicitly warns against using impact drivers with their fiber line systems. You should only use a standard cordless drill set to a smooth, consistent torque. Impact mode creates shock loading, which can snap the fiber line or damage the internal gearing of the Orange Bat assembly.

Q: Will the fiber line cut through wire-reinforced urethane?
A: While Spider Line is incredibly strong for standard urethane, it is not designed to cut through hidden metal clips, alignment pins, or wire-embedded adhesives. If you hit a hard metal obstruction, the fiber line will break to save the tool.
