Review: Excellent tool for quick and clean shingle repairs - Why did you pick this product vs others?: I used this Roof Snake tool for a recent shingle repair project and it worked perfectly. The steel construction feels strong and durable, and it held up well during multiple uses. The nail slot design makes it easy to slip under existing shingles and drive nails without causing damage. It also does a great job removing nails cleanly, which saved me time and effort. The size is compact but gives you good leverage for the job. If you do any roofing work, whether professional or DIY, this is a tool worth having in your toolbox.
Review: Huge Help When Replacing Shingles! - This tool is a huge help when replacing shingles. It allows you to reach under the shingle on top to nail the one below without damaging the one on top. The tool is well made, and seems very durable. It holds a roofing nail securely, even though it doesn't have a magnet. It is on the heavy side (23 oz, 632g), but that is due to it's solid construction. The finish also seems very durable. I used it all day, hammering on the end opposite the nail puller, and the finish is intact. * Overall length of tool: 11 inches * Cross section of tool: 1 inch x 1/4 inch
