Product Description

During auto glass removal using modern fiber line systems, retrieving the cutting line from the interior cabin after piercing the urethane can be a delicate, frustrating task. The WRD Pick Tool (SKU: WRD-MP) is a specialized, purpose-built hand tool designed to safely grab and retrieve cutting fiber or wire once it has been pushed through the adhesive barrier. Its compact, carefully angled hook design ensures technicians can cleanly catch the line without scratching interior trim or damaging the delicate vehicle pinchweld.

In high-end auto glass replacement, avoiding collateral damage to the vehicle's interior is just as important as protecting the exterior paint. Trying to retrieve a cutting line blindly with pliers or screwdrivers can easily result in gouged dashboards or torn headliners. This handy hook tool gives the technician exact, tactical control to pick up the line smoothly, making it an indispensable companion accessory for the initial setup phase of any WRD Spider or standard wire-out removal process.

Key Features

• Precision Hook Tip: Engineered specifically to effortlessly catch and secure cutting fiber or wire after it has penetrated the urethane seal from the outside.

• Interior Trim Protection: Allows technicians to grab the line cleanly without blind-pulling or dragging sharp wire against the dashboard, A-pillar trim, or headliner.

• Ergonomic Grip: Features a comfortable, non-slip handle that gives the user precise tactile control when working in tight, awkward angles near the interior glass edge.

• Universal Line Compatibility: Effectively retrieves all variations of auto glass cutting material, including WRD Spider Line (P8, P10, X8, FN9), traditional braided wire, and square steel wire.

• Workflow Optimization: Drastically speeds up the initial setup phase of fiber line removal, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted transition from piercing the urethane to attaching the line to your winding spindle.

Ideal For

• Auto Glass Professionals: Retrieving cutting fiber smoothly from the interior cabin during complex, one-man windshield extractions on modern vehicles.

• Mobile Glass Repair: Keeping a reliable, low-profile hook tool in the work van to speed up the crucial initial setup phase of every wire-out or fiber-line removal.

• Collision Repair Technicians: Safely manipulating cutting lines around intricate interior trims, dash panels, and headliners prior to structural roof or A-pillar repairs.

Common Questions

Q: What is the difference between the Pick Tool and the Cutting Line Threader?
A: They are companion tools used for the same step, but from opposite sides of the glass. The Cutting Line Threader is used from the outside of the vehicle to pierce the urethane and push the line through. The Pick Tool is used on the inside of the vehicle to hook that line and cleanly pull it into the cabin so it can be attached to your winding tool.

Q: Does it work with standard steel wire?
A: Yes. While it is highly optimized for WRD's proprietary high-tensile fiber lines (like the Spider Line series), the hook's design is versatile enough to easily grab and retrieve standard braided or square steel cutting wire.

Q: Will the metal hook scratch the interior dashboard?
A: The tool is designed with a smooth, compact profile to allow you to carefully grab the line without digging into surrounding plastics. However, when working in extremely tight lower corners near the dash, it is always recommended to slide a plastic WRD Dash Protector between the glass and the trim to guarantee a 100% damage-free operation.
