Using The Pitch Hopper To Walk On A Steep Roof #Shorts

I love my Pitch Hopper! #pitchhopper #Shorts
We made a video last week that reviewed a tool called The Pitch Hopper. This week we actually got to use it on a homeowner's roof that was badly delaminated with very loose granules and a 12/12 pitch. I was able to safely climb the roof and get back down.

Secret Service could really use some of these products.

Definitely a game changer as a roof salesman. I've turned dozens of adjusters onto them as well

[ricogoldstar]

Maybe this dude should train the Secret Service on how to secure a 'sloped roof'. 😂

I just bought one of those and really works, I love it.. I clean roofs every week and with this tool my back and my ankles don't get to tired.. so awesome

I had a guy work for me with a bad leg. He built a triangle box on a 10/12 pitch if I remember right. Had cushion material on the bottom.
On top of that he road his motorcycle to the job!

You can also use them to stack bundles on a steep roof so they don’t slide off

[kirkbenefiel]

Depends on the roofer we used to called crazy. But we made it look easy!

[sonyareagle]

Now I want one of those … but I also want a safety harness.

[Chuck-hejd]

these things work, , , i have a 12/12 roof and I used these to stand up while working on a chimney

[Someone-tnur]

Makes me glad I have a nice cushy desk job.

He'll be a finalist for #SecretServiceIdol

Cool to see it work in real life, know if you use it, it's legit! Gotta get me one now! Lol

[crosisofborg]

Nope. If it’s not nailed down I’m not trusting it.

[HatchetFold]

be careful there only nonslip under load

[vicO]

Maybe a safety harness is a better solution and you won't get fined by the state.

[aaronlee]

I'd like to see them trust a 11 12 pitch with no deck or porch to change the pitch back to 5 hahaha 😅

[travissmith]

Still havent seen anyone actually do work off of it

[davidjuarez]

That's a lawsuit waiting to happen

[jculpmm]

Nope!!!! Nope!!! Nope!!! There is a thing called gravity and now that I’m older I don’t bounce like I and all of us did when we were younger.

Get yourself a pair of cougar paws. And never make a video about "how to" scale down a steep slope using a hop stepper, when the video shows you used the homeowners Velux skylight more than anything. They have shitty flashing kits and notoriously leak often even when installed by manufacturer specs. Let alone when it's on a wall steep slope. You'd never under any circumstances stand on that! And whoever did the install should have known to install a thin metal diverter to direct water around the skylight, like a thin metal mini-cricket. That will leak for sure within 10 years regardless of underlayment. Even Grace. Needs a diverter and a permanent break from human weight
