The Screen King tool solves a problem every window cleaner knows: getting screens out without scratching the frame, bending the mesh, or losing five minutes per window fishing for a plastic tab buried behind a storm track. Its steel tip has the right bend to reach recessed tabs from inside or outside, pop them free, and let you pull the screen cleanly on the first try.

Why Pros Carry One

Screen removal is dead time. You're not cleaning glass — you're wrestling with a friction-fit frame that some installer heat-gunned in place eight years ago. The Screen King is narrow enough to slip into the channel beside the tab, stiff enough to lever it, and shaped so you don't gouge vinyl or aluminum frames in the process. On a 40-window residential job where half the screens are stuck, the time savings are real.

Built-In Features That Actually Matter

  • High-quality steel construction — won't flex or snap under leverage. This is a pry tool, not a paint-stir stick.
  • Spline insertion edge — re-seat screen splines on site instead of telling the customer you'll come back.
  • Flat-head screwdriver tip — tighten or loosen T-bar and squeegee handle tension screws without digging through your bag for a separate driver.
  • Scraper-grade strength — stiff enough to scrape paint specks or caulk from frames when you encounter them.
  • Belt clip — stays on your person instead of on the last windowsill you worked.
  • Bottle opener — because the end of the day should reward efficiency.

Developed and field-tested by professionals with 30+ years in the cleaning industry. Made in the U.S.A.

Where It Fits in Your Screen Workflow

Most pros pull screens before washing, clean them with a screen cleaning solution or a soft screen brush, then re-install after the glass is done. The Screen King handles both ends of that workflow — removal and spline re-seating — in one belt-clipped tool. Pair it with a ScreenPop for spring-loaded screens that need a different release mechanism, and you're covered for virtually every residential screen type.

Who Should Own One

If you clean residential windows, you need a dedicated screen tool. Flat-head screwdrivers slip. Putty knives are too wide. The Screen King is purpose-built for the job and costs less than the time you'll waste without it on a single route day.

Pick up the Screen King (#55-207) and keep screen removal from being the slowest part of your day.
