Equalizer® Installation Sticks

IP IS742

$1.00

The installation stick has been one of the best forms of advertising for over 30 years. No one ever throws one of these things away, even if it gets worn out. In the past, installation sticks were given away as promotional items by most glass and urethane suppliers. As rubber gaskets started disappearing, companies stopped giving them away. Technicians never stopped using them, they found dozens of other uses for them and continue to use them daily.

Chisel Point Installation Stick

IP ISC741

$2.00

Installation sticks with a chisel point are more versatile than regular installation sticks. Use the regular end for all the things you now use a regular installation stick for, and then turn it around and use the chisel end to scrape excess urethane buildup out of corners where a pinchweld scraper or razor knife will damage the paint. They are great for removing excess wet urethane that has squeezed out onto the glass or paint from underneath the molding, and for removing the sealer that squeezes out of the rubber from around a rubber installation.

Installation Stick Handle

IP ISH691

$4.00

This tool falls under the category of “Why didn’t I think of that!” A tool handle that is hollowed out in such a way that it will allow a windshield stick to be slipped inside and fastened with a set screw. When one end of the stick wears out, just switch ends. When the whole stick is worn out, just put in a new stick.

Windshield Locking Strip Tool

IP LS758

$19.00

Two double end tips will fit most applications. The unique design allows the tip to swivel 90° in either direction to work where others will not. Select the tip that most closely fits the locking strip. Insert the tip into the rubber gasket and thread the locking strip into the eyelet of the tool. Now, work the tool around the windshield while feeding the locking strip into the eyelet.

Made in the USA.

Windshield Locking Strip Tool

IP RU1391

$19.00

With a curved handle like the LS758 but with a curved handle to keep your hand distanced from the glass. You can swivel the tip 90° in either direction. Four different type eyelets will fit most rubber locking strips on the market.

GM Locking Strip Tools

IP LGM207

$6.00

The manufacturer of these locking strip tools retired and closed his business a year or so ago. When we could not get him to continue making them we decided to tool up and start making them. These lacing tools were introduced in the 1970’s to put the locking strip back into the Chevrolet and GM trucks. When the Chevrolet and GM rubber gasket was replaced in the early 1990’s we thought the market would be gone in a few years, but there are still thousands of those old Chevrolet and GM trucks on the road. Equally important is that you can use this tool on many other locking strips that are still in use today. It is made of chrome-plated hardened steel. The narrow jaws open the rubber gasket and a small piece of metal rolled under the center part forces the locking strip in place.

Locking Strip Tool

IP PA1348

$24.00

With six different size tips.here are many different sizes of locking strips and for this reason, most technicians have several different size locking strip tools in their toolboxes. The nice thing about our locking strip tool is it has only one handle but it has 6 different size tips that can be changed in seconds by loosening the hex screw. The tips range in size from 3/8" all the way up to 3/4". The 3/4" tip has a 90° angle to give the proper angle on wide, flat-type locking strips. Our locking strip tool even has a roller that can be put in place and used with the different size tips. The roller rolls the locking strip firmly down into place so it will not come out.

Footloose™ Rubber Gasket Release Tool

IP BDA251

$48.00

Many vehicles have large, rubber-set windshields. The common method to remove these windshields is to put your feet against the glass and push while releasing the rubber gasket with a hook tool. The problem with this is the distance can be so great that you cannot push out and use a hook tool to release the gasket at the same time.

To use Footloose™, hook the tip over the pinchweld, push gently outward, and release the rubber gasket. Rubber-set back glasses can be even more annoying than windshields because there is no easy way to get the leverage to push them out. Footloose™ puts the necessary pressure on the back glass so you can release the gasket.

Rubber Gasket Cleaner

IP RGC751

$12.00

Rubber gaskets are still being used on many vehicles, especially heavy construction equipment. Cleaning these gaskets have always been a problem but Equalizer has solved this with the rubber gasket cleaner. To use the gasket cleaner, place the blade on the gasket and pull it toward you. The blade is sharpened on the end and on both sides so it will clean glass and old sealant out of the gasket with one easy pulling motion. The unique design of the RGC751 keeps your hands clear of the glass.

Made in the USA.

Rope Insert Tool

IP RT752

$17.00

We all use small ropes to “rope in” rubber gaskets. This handy tool is designed to ease the rope under the lip and seat it in the groove of the gasket. How many times have you rammed a piece of glass in your finger while putting the rope in a rubber gasket or had the rope fall out because it wasn’t inserted properly? You will no longer have these problems with the rope insert tool. Comes with a sturdy rope that will reach around the largest rubber gasket.

Made in the USA.

Self-Locking Rubber Gasket Tool

IP PT697

$16.00

Self-locking rubber gaskets are still used on many pieces of equipment and are used extensively in construction equipment. It can be difficult to fold the self-locking rubber into the locking part. Our locking tool works in two ways. First, it rolls the locking part over and second, the rounded tip on the tool forces the locking part into the receiver side of the rubber gasket.
