"A professional always uses the right tool" Using these tools will make an afternoon of basic roof maintenance an enjoyable experience. All of these, and many more roofing tools are available for purchase at Stoney Cedar Ltd. Roofing Hammers Used to split shakes and shingles with a ‘hatchet’ end, and a 'hammer' end to pound nails. Better quality roofing hammers also come with a guage that allow you to maintain the course height. Layout Tools A Plumb Line is used to ensure that reference points are taken from the correct location. Chalk lines are used for temporary layout lines. Tape measure has a retractable steel blade. Hammer Stapler Used with a similar action to a hammer allowing single hand stapling of felt. Has a further reach than a conventional staple gun. Heavy duty non-rusting staples are used. Utility Knife A sharp utility knife is an essential tool used for cutting felt and trimming shakes and shingles. Always have a supply of sharp new blades. Tool Belt A tool belt allows you to carry most of your tools while keeping your hands free. A well constructed tool belt should be comfortable to wear when loaded and large enough to carry several basic items. Knee Pads If you have extensive maintenance, repairs or new roofing to perform, a set of knee pads will be a wise investment, saving wear and tear on your knees. Roofers Chair For extended periods on a pitched roof, the Roofers Chair with its clawed feet, allows a level location for resting materials and tired bones. Return to top of page
