Roll and trim in one continuous motion. Built for screen repair pros, window manufacturers, and high-efficiency DIYers, this innovative tool combines a precision concave spline roller with an integrated hawkbill utility knife.
By eliminating the need to constantly switch tools, it dramatically speeds up re-screening jobs and delivers clean, flush mesh cuts right along the outside edge of the channel.
Key Features & Benefits
-
2-in-1 Workflow: Roll your spline into place, rotate the tool in your hand, and trim extra mesh instantly—no more reaching for separate utility knives.
-
Curved Hawkbill Blade: The hooked profile glides smoothly along the outer lip of the frame channel for precision trimming without snagging or slicing your screen.
-
Targeted Spline Range (.115″ – .145″): Precision-grooved concave wheel keeps small-to-medium splines centered so the tool won’t jump off the track.
-
Ergonomic Design: Solid, balanced body provides a firm grip and steady leverage around tight corners and long frame runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Will this work with larger splines above .145″?
It is optimized for .115″–.145″ splines (common for solar and pet mesh). For larger splines (.150″+), the hawkbill blade can still trim, but a larger dedicated roller is recommended for seating.
-
Can the blade cut heavy-duty pet screen or aluminum?
Yes. The hawkbill blade provides excellent leverage for cutting fiberglass, aluminum wire, solar screen, and heavy-duty pet mesh cleanly.
