So hammer it down untill the hit before you damage the shingle then slightly tilt, the nail is driven so far down at this point it will still be perpendicular to the roof....

I appreciate you video and I see the point you are driving at (ha). Yes a little bit of refinement of the tool is required. But it's also obvious to me that a little finesse is required for a better job. Fly-by-nighters and guys who are trying to pay their mortgage off within a few jobs are the type of repair men that would use the tool the way you do. It it just a matter of slowing down. Slow down and use some finesse.

No tool is perfect. Your review and demonstration are found wanting. I’ve seen other vids showing adept use of this tool. Tools are as good as the tool using it.

[wglewis]

Great video - adjusters DO NOT understand true reparability. Someone at a desk decided this tool would solve all those problems without actually testing it!

Just because you don't know how to properly use a roof snake doesn't mean it's not a great tool.
Don't let the end of the roof snake rest on the lower shingle when nailing...it's that easy and the nail is perfectly straight.
I have used a roof snake hundreds of times without collateral damage to adjoining shingles. Just saying.
Squirrely? I think not.
It's easy for a hungry contractor to attack the insurance companies over their approach. When they try to minimize unnecessary payouts for a full roof replacement they should be thanked since it helps keep the cost of insurance lower for all of us.

I just got mine today. I'll try for myself and see if it's quicker and more practical than the standard method.

[GoodContractorsRoofingOwner]

Seems like a slight mod to the tool easily remedies the problem. Adding self adhering foam strips to bottom of tool might prevent marring the shingles.

[roadstar]

How come you did not demo the way you can hammer a nail perfectly straight using your hammer method without over bending a shingle???

[Lafue]

I find it comical to see folks claiming that a little scuff on a shingle would drastically reduce its life. As if a contractor never scuffed a new roof on install.

[HondoTrailside]

Imagine this guy reviewing hammers, when they first came out...

[richardwellington]

Are you a roofing contractor, meaning, someone who has received payment for roofing services? If so, do yo separate yourself from your role as a public adjuster? As a public adjuster, do you take a legitimate stance towards completing spot repairs, or do you always push for full replacement?

[AWSmith]

hold on a sec, Is your cameraman perched on the skid of a helicopter? What is that ungodly noise! LOL

[kkutube]

OK, I purchase this but did not get to use it yet. But you killed it.

[docnez]

Just put a shingle tab under it so not to damage the nailed down shingle. Your demonstration is exaggerated.

[lawrencekhoury]

I use an old piece of 30 pound tar paper and get perfect results

[douglashenriquez]

Firs coment by the time I put a nail with that tool I've put 5 with my hands + Hummer

[alanwalston]

You nail as far as it will go. Then pull tool and put it on top of nail to finish driving.

[chrisvroom]

So what you're saying is don't everyone try a repair at all and just get insurance to pay for a full replacement for damages to 1 shingle. So smart guy show us a repair on an architectural shingle sealed up nicely with 6 nails in it

[roadstar]

you don't go straight on you can move tool on an and easily drive nail as straight as with any hammer... theres a thing called finesse and a learning curve, which only takes common sense to master... plus i used my regular hammer and had to go on a slight angle or i would have messed up the old shingle... I never saw any roof with all nails installed perfectly vertical...That first nail that was bent obviously hit another nail...this guy will try to sell owner a entire new roof if it was only missing a few shingles from a storm...

[bammbamm]

Give a roofer or a PA an inkblot test and what will he see? "Hail damage - unrepairable."
