Whether you're applying paint protection film (PPF), vinyl wrap, or window tint, the quality of your tools can make or break the final result. At KPAL Scandinavia, we not only distribute premium films from KPAL and TeckWrap — we also supply the tools trusted by professional installers across Europe.
Let’s look at the 5 essential tools every serious installer should have.
1️⃣ Professional Squeegee Set
No installation is complete without a high-quality squeegee. Whether you’re working on curves, edges, or flat panels, the right squeegee helps apply consistent pressure without damaging the film.
✅ Must-haves:
-
Soft edge for PPF
-
Firm edge for vinyl wrap
-
Replaceable felt tips
2️⃣ Precision Cut Knife + Extra Blades
A sharp, precision blade is your best friend when trimming around edges, emblems, and window seals. Always use a fresh blade to avoid tearing or jagged edges.
💡 Tip: Choose a knife with ergonomic grip and blade-locking system for safety and comfort.
3️⃣ Heat Gun (Variable Temp)
Whether you’re shrinking vinyl, activating self-healing PPF, or softening adhesive, a temperature-controlled heat gun is essential.
🔥 Features to look for:
-
Adjustable temperature
-
Lightweight design
-
Concentrator nozzle
4️⃣ Wrap Gloves
Wrap gloves improve grip and allow smoother movement over the film’s surface. They help avoid fingerprints and prevent friction when tucking edges.
🧤 Use them especially for colored PPF and matte finishes.
5️⃣ Slip & Tack Solution Bottles
For PPF installs, using the right slip and tack solutions is critical. Keep separate spray bottles labeled clearly, and use distilled water mixed with KPAL-approved formulas.
💧 This helps avoid bubbles, ghosting, or film lift.
