Prazi USA PR9000 Putty Chaser

This works exactly as claimed. The only thing that is important is that you use a fast drill (as mentioned in the ad and instructions). This pretty much means no cordless drills. You also need a steady hand.

Really does remove old window putty. Requires a careful hand not to gouge out the window frame. High quality for years of use.

I am not a skilled craftsman but am in the business of doing handyman work. This device was just what I needed to remove glazing from old windows. However, I could not control it very well even with a variable speed drill. Just need to be very careful with it cause it digs into the wood very easily.

Not well made. The bushing/mutton spacer is plastic and wears very fast. Doesnot remove glazing well and grooves wood on muttons when it does. Worn out after 1 window of 6 panes. Cannot recommend this product at 1/2 the price.

I can see the issues that homeowners are having with this tool. It should not be advertised as a DIY tool. It took me about 6" of glazing removal before I got the hang of it. I have been working with power tools in the construction industry for 25 years.

by far the worst purchase I have ever made! now you CAN make it eat some putty, the problem is it will also eat the wood. it is meant to act as a "bearing bit" that follows along the wood. BUT the surface you are bearing against is the putty it self. Therefore you have to "free hand" into the putty to create a bearing surface on the wood, of course you will most likely nic or even destroy the side of the wood in so doing. and once you do get to the wood the ... oh never mind I hope you get the point by now.

it works

Purchased the Prazi Putty Chaser to remove old window glaze. The item works, but not well. The depth adjustment does not stay in place and using a drill is awkward. After using the item a short period of time I came up with three other alternatives using a router. The router works much better and faster. I chalk it up to a $15 lesson in learning to do with what you have on-hand.
