Happy new year, everyone! In our first video of 2019, Thad is on the road in Denver, Colorado to take a look at the basic tools needed for metal roof installation. He talks with the Sheffield Metals assistant technical director Dave Stubbs to get some insights on everything from panel bending tools to cutting tools to specialty tools, and discuss key factors in selecting your tools for metal roofing.

Please note the installation details and methods shown in this video are for reference only. Sheffield Metals recommends following their published installation details or for WTW projects following the required details issued and marked approved for that specific project.
