1. A device for window screen replacement, the device comprising:
a handle; and
a body connected to the handle, the body comprising:
a curved first edge having a first tip at a first end, the first tip defined by the curved first edge and a second edge of the body, the curved first edge sized to fit in a groove of a window frame;
a third edge extending from the second edge to the handle;
a second tip at a second end of the body, the second tip defined by the curved first edge and a fourth edge; and
a fifth edge extending from the fourth edge to the handle,
wherein the curved first edge comprises a channel extending inward into the body.
 
17. A method for fabricating a screen replacement tool, the method comprising:
fabricating a body to include:
a curved first edge have a first tip at a first end, the first tip defined by the curved first edge and a second edge forming an acute angle; and
a third edge extending away from the second edge, the curved first edge defined by a first radius, and the third edge defined by a second radius that is less than the first radius;
determining a spline surface profile, and
forming a channel along the curved first edge to have a surface a profile that compliments the spline surface profile.
