What sort of tool to remove screens

[Jashworth]

I am a pocket knife kinda guy, always had one for high-rise, guess I never got rid of it, works well.

I have used a paint can opener, also works well for digging stubborn dirt out of aluminum window tracks

Thanks for posting the picture Melody. I’ve tried every tool on this thread and that’s my favorite all around tool. I carry it in a leg pocket of my carpenter jeans.

PS
I wish I could see a picture of the putty knife with the end bent 1/4 inch. I wonder why it’s better than a plain one?

Have now, developed a hand tool that will remove these particular screens.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=4]
And other similar screens. [/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=4]

Without bending damaging the screen and window frames.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=4]

With this tool you pull the screen out not pry it out.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=4]

I use a good old butter knife bend at the tip a little

Doesn’t get any more “cutting edge” than that

Best tool ever for hard to remove screens

@WickClean

I use a paint can opener from any hardware store… They are curved at the bottom and fit in my pouch.

Grab one bottom edge pull up and out it comes.

5 in one tool!

I keep a multi tool on my belt never know when its gonna come in handy plus I use it on most screens. Customers don’t like it when you pull off all their tabs.

Paint can opening tool. Free at your local hardware store. Mark where the screens go with a Sharpee marker.

Just yesterday, had a new guy working with me. Put him on screens and he put a few in backwards (tabs facing outside) so I took a small flat head screwdriver. Pushed up’d on top of screen and that gave me enough room for small screwdriver, popped right out.All was good

I see from other threads in relation to removing screen from windows.
I have alumium sliders with screens that are tightly fitted.
Is there a tool out there that can get these screens out without bending them or scratching the frames of the screen and the window frames.

Paint can tool for window screens. Sliders have adjustable rollers that can be loosened from the ends with a Phillips head screw driver then use a putty knife to get the rollers to clear the track. Put back on in reverse - putty knife to lift the rollers then screw driver to adjust tension.
