(More customer reviews)I used the HYDE TOOLS #45200 Window Open Tool to open three windows that were painted shut on a 60+ year old house. On a prior attempt I used a standard utility knife,a putty knife, and a wood chisel without success. At a loss to open the stuck windows a professional house painter told me I needed the right tool for the job. I bought the Hyde tool on line from Amazon. After "on the job" training I began to make headway. The tool had a spear point with "saw teeth" on the edges. A sawing action cut the old layers of paint on a wooden window frame. The blade is thin enough to work between the window and frame to cut through glue like old paint holding the window shut. A word to the wise, it only cuts paint, it won't take abuse from prying. The metal handle on mine cracked above the rivets. I used a borrowed "wonder" type blue pry bar to pry the window open, I don't remember the brand but it a more useful design than my old model pry bar. I used the excellent Bessey folding utility knife to cut a groove in the paint to start and finished up with the Hyde tool. I would buy another HYDE Window Open Tool without hesitation.
