Does this hammer work on tinted glass?

I guess it depends on how the glass is tinted. If the glass has a shade added to the glass formula, then I guess yes. If the glass has a layer of tinted mylar embedded in it, that might prevent the glass from easily shattering. But, your car drivers and passenger windows should not be tinted, as I believe that is not legal. So those windows should shatter easily. Note that your front windshield will not shatter.

I hope so. I do not care to find out since it means I have a serious problem.

Although it would work, I think it could weaken the structural integrity of the glass. Abrasive etching would be a better solution.

It might. It didn't work on my glass. I ended up replacing it. Seems to be a good product though.

It will, but I would not use this tool to cut glass. A better choice would be a diamond blade on a wet saw.

I wouldn't recommend it. It's made for plastic lenses and such. Try calling a tint shop and getting them to install lifetime tint on them. This looks horrible on glass and pretty much any clear surface where spray pattern imperfections can be easily seen. Works well on signal lights and brake lights though.

Tinted windows should work. I have not tried it myself on a tinted window but user reviews on other sites suggests that it will work just fine.

I would not hesitate to use it on any glass surface that is not tinted or otherwise treated. The only caveat is to be sure your glass is spotless before you apply the shield.

I wouldn't attempt to use this on glass. As others have mentioned; it is solely designed to be used on headlights which are made of plastic. So in that regard... if you are trying to buff something plastic, then go ahead; if glass, I would avoid it.

I guess it should. I do not have a slab of glass to test on. It works on paper, polished wood and plastic. It's got a good feel and weight to it.

It won't mess the tinting. I have tinted windows and it does work. The only problem is that is makes the window a little blurry. Not easy to see through because it is like a adhesive paper, but you can reposition it several times if needed.

I honestly don't know, but I would assume not, given its lack of effectiveness on more-transparent glass.

Yes I believe you might be able to use it on chemically treated glass. The manufacturer states that it's safe to use on tinted glass and other similar types of glass, but I would contact them directly to make sure. Here's the contact info. The company name is Stoner, located in Quarryville PA, their phone # is (717) 786-7355. Good luck, hope it works!

I really don't know because I just used mine on glass blocks but they are so inexpensive that you have little to loose by buying them and trying. They worked great on glass and it was easier that I expected.

CAR WINDOWS ARE ALREADY COVERED IN A PLASTIC ANTI-SHATTER layer, so in theory it should work. I'm just not sure if it would leave a film or not, since less dense or less smooth plastics could leave air pockets (and thus blurriness) when applied. But if it's a hard, smooth, glass-like plastic I would give it a try (maybe apply just to a corner at first to test it?)

yes it works if your handy with tools and fixing things. The idea is to tighten it down enough to make it liquid tight and not to crank it down hard and crack the glass.

Sorry I have not tested yet on metal, it seems to do fine on glass, not great, but does ok on glass and wood..
