The smoke is finally lifting up here in the valley... the Butte fires were crazy. How's it goin down south? The fires in the north and central coast stole the show up here.
Taping the windshield never works in the southeast - either it's raining, blowing dust, or so humid that the tape won't stick.
Compared to a recip saw, the GlasMaster is an improvement. It has it's own punch tool to make the starter hole with, so you don't need a separate punch tool. The blade is wider and has fewer/larger teeth than the recip saw windshield blades, so there are fewer glass chips flying around. They don't fly as far with the GlasMaster, either. We usually invert a long spineboard and pin it against the inside of the A-posts when we cut a windshield as well as covering the patient with a sheet, tarp. or fire blanket. (Carbusters-style hard and soft patient shielding) The GlasMaster doesn't require electrical, air, or battery power, and it is much more portable than powered saws.
We base the soft protection on the weather and scene hazards - fire blanket if there is a lot of fuel spilled or if the car is sparking or has been on fire. The tarp is for rain and the sheet is for dry, hot weather.
