WE are not going to try to compare wet vacuum injectors to dry vacuum injectors because there is no comparision. Wet vacuum injectors have so many factors going against you that in real world repairs these factors such as air pressure, moisture, humidity, temperature and complexity of breaks has too many factors automatically against you and would be a near miracle for anyone with old style equipment to do consitently good repair work. Stop being a novice and get equipment that will make you a glass repair expert. If you think your resin on glass system can keep up with a dry vacuum system, especially ours you're kidding yourself. Remember the definition of insanity, "doing something over and over the same way, expecting different results". Use a wet vacuum and you are doing just that!, regardless of what "technique" you are using. Wet vacuum injectors are costing you money, something you certainly do not need in todays economy!
One (wet vaccuum) company that starts with a "D" even tries to pull a fast one on it's customers by having
one of its customers buy a tool and then place it up for sale on their forum! As if the tool is a lesser tool
than what they sell! What a joke on their own customers! We will better our challenge to any "D" kits
users. Come to Rockford, IL and we'll do repairs outdoors on real repairs and if anyone can out perform
our equipment in speed and quality will pay them $500.00. Then we'll place the results online to show
the world. That company by the way operates a forum and will kick off anyone on their forum who even
mentions a competitors tool's performance. They try to keep their users in the dark about the pitiful
performance of their tool., and the advanced tools such as ours.
We will not name companies to avoid problems with them, however we will give a description of the tool in relation to ours and show the down side of the competitors equipment.
We'll start with one of the earliest dry vacuum concepts. This tool uses a power vacuum pump and is attached to the cup that fits over the damaged area. This idea is the right one, but the equipment is incorrect. Here is why. When you place a large cup over the damaged glass and dump all the air out from undernieth it, you greatly increase the weight onto the glass. This is because the equalization of air pressure is taken away from one side and this increases the weight of the cup pressing down onto the glass. This increase of pressure is equal to 14 pounds of air pressure per cubic inch of space on the outside of the cup. A weak break like a star will most often crack out worse using this type of equipment. The Annihilator only covers the space of a bb over the break so applying 28 inches of vacuum doesn't increase the weight on the break. It is no surpirse that this company uses this tool as it also sells glass.
Another tool that uses a resin container on the outside of a rod and has another rod to pull back for vacuum is not a good tool, here is why: The rod being pulled back will extend to make the overall length of the tool to eleven inches high for one thing, the second problem is retracting this rod coates the inside of the rod with repair resin. This must be cleaned at the end of the day other wise this resin will thicken up and make the tool unusable the next day. Another problem is retracting the rod only produces 17 inches of vacuum which isn't even close to being enough vacuum. The other problem with this tool is that it is it cannot perform repairs to vertical glass situations because this tool relys on gravity to allow resin to flow into the break. There is no way this tool produces enough vacuum to allow enough moisture to be removed to allow for a strong repair. Another problem with this tool is that it is built from stainless steel which is expensive and very heavy. Our tool the Annihilator produces more vacuum with one push of our modified woods pump than full extraction of the rod on theirs. Our tool only weighs in at 9.3 ounces. Our tool can do a repair at any angle and only needs cleaning once every few months, whereas their tool requires a total cleaning at the end of each day and goes through seals much faster than ours. Our o-rings in our unit have gone as long as eight months of continuos use before changing o-rings is needed. Any repairs to semi tractors, jeep wranglers and Toyota FJ cruisers have to be turned down as their tool isn't capable of the repair. This tool also uses much more resin than our tool does! If you look at the full spectrum of information you'll see the light.
Another tool that looks very much like ours at a company based in Illinois, uses much less vacuum than our tool. Our tool has much more control because of the threaded items like the injector and piston. Our o-rings are extremely easy to replace whereas their o-rings is a major job to replace. Our tool can negotiate any curvature on the glass and theirs has trouble on some windshields and is not as effective in removing moisture as our tool because our vacuum levels are so much higher.
Another tool from Oregon State, is a stainless steel tool with a tripod suction cup design. This company claims their tool produces 28 inches of vacuum which we doubt but has the disadvantage that its secondary vacuum is above the resin pool whereas our tool has a pointed tip that extends down inside of the resin pool. This allows much stronger air removal because the suction within the resin pool is much more effective than a vacuum placed over the resin. Their tool looks nice but it is made of stainless steel which is expensive to machine and produce, is heavy and is not needed. Our tool is far more capable because our tool will verify a vacuum is in place before lowering the injector whereas their tool cannot guarantee a vacuum is in place. If your glass to tool seal lost the seal and lost the vacuum, you'd never know it. With our tool you always know when the vacuum is in place before lowering the injector. Many of our new customers who were owners of the
G3(tm) say it is hard to clean, it goes through seals often and they just don't like it. Yet that company continues to advertise their tool as if it is the panacea for glass repair. Our tool is far better and hundreds of dollars less and our tool will verify a vacuum whereas theirs does not.
In short: Nothing beats the Annihilator for windshield repair! Nothing is even close to the performance and the cost of doing a repair. You can buy our tool for much less than any other of these "dry Vacuum tools" and our tool has many more advantages and is more capable. See our videos on you tube. "Annihilator bullseye
repair", "Annihilator star break", These repairs are performed in real time. Also see Glass Pro Systems Windshield Repair video, and Super Cinch Windshield Repair. Annihilator is proudly made in the U.S.A.
