During which scenario is it more advantageous to use the sharp end of a tool on windows?

Using the sharp end of a tool on windows is most advantageous when faced with double or thermo-pane glass. These types of windows are designed with multiple layers of glass for insulation and safety, making them significantly more challenging to break than simpler single-pane windows. The sharp end of a tool is specifically designed to penetrate through layers of glass more effectively.

In scenarios involving double or thermo-pane glass, the force needed to shatter this type of window is greater than that required for single-pane glass. The sharp end provides a focused point of impact, thereby increasing the likelihood of success in breaking these tougher windows. Additionally, using such a tool reduces the risk of injury from flying glass shards, as it allows for a more controlled and directed application of force.

For the other scenarios, while using the sharp end may have some utility, it is especially critical for multi-layered glass, where standard methods might fail due to the increased structural integrity of the window.
