Product Information
Full details
The Bohle Glass Lever Shovel is an essential tool for professional glaziers and installers who need a reliable, non-marring instrument for lifting, positioning, and adjusting glass panels. Crafted entirely from durable wood, this 280 mm lever provides the necessary leverage for fine-tuning glass placement during installation. While it offers excellent precision for delicate materials, users should be aware that because it is constructed from solid wood, it is not suitable for heavy-duty prying tasks on materials harder than wood itself to prevent splinters or damage.

FAQs
Can this lever be used on metal surfaces?
While it can be used for minor adjustments against metal frames, using it on sharp metal edges may damage the wood head over time.
Is the wood treated with any chemicals?
The Bohle Glass Lever is made from natural wood, designed to be safe for glass without leaving chemical residues.
What is the primary benefit of using a wood lever over a steel one?
The wood lever is significantly softer than glass, effectively eliminating the risk of scratching, chipping, or shattering the glass edge during a lift.
Can I use this for heavy prying?
No, this tool is designed for positioning and minor adjustments, not for heavy-duty prying or leverage tasks.
Does it need any special maintenance?
Keep it dry and periodically sand the head if it becomes worn or rough to maintain a smooth surface.
Troubleshooting
The tool is sliding against the glass surface
Ensure both the glass and the wood head are clean and dry; dust or moisture can reduce the grip.
Small wood fibers are visible on the glass edge
Gently sand the head of the lever with fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough spots or potential splinters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no setup; it is ready for immediate use upon arrival. It is fully compatible with all standard glass thicknesses used in residential and commercial framing.
To ensure the longevity of your Bohle Glass Lever:
- Keep the wood clean and free of debris that could be transferred to the glass surface.
- Inspect the head periodically for any splintering or rough patches that could potentially scratch glass.
- Store in a dry environment; wood can expand or warp if left in high-humidity areas for extended periods.
- If the edges become worn over time, they can be gently sanded to restore smoothness.
