What tools do I need for roofing?
Roofers require a range of tools for the job, including:
Roofing nail guns
Most roofers will use a combination of nail guns and hammers, depending on the job. Roofing nail guns can get the job done much faster, but can be heavy and cumbersome to hold.
Angle Grinders
Used for grinding and polishing, angle grinders can cut tile, rout out mortar and remove loose paint and rust. They can also sharpen blades and cut or grind steel, so it’s easy to see why this versatile tool is a must for a roofer.
Circular Saws
Roofers will need a circular saw to cut roof decking or trim boards. Precision is key when it comes to roofing, and these saws cut straight, clean lines.
Disc cutters
More multifunctional than a circular saw, disc cutters are used for cutting composite panels, capping stones, slates and roof tiles.
Drills
A reliable drill is an essential tool for any DIY-er or professional construction worker. Apart from the obvious use of drilling holes, it can also be used with an impact driver for metal roofing.
Radios
Construction sites can be very dangerous places and if you like to listen to music while you work, your standard portable radio probably won’t withstand the possible rough handling you’d get onsite. The sound probably won’t travel very far either. Today’s job site radios are tough, modern and built with Bluetooth and amplifying systems to give you the best sound and easiest connection.
Tool belts
You’ll likely need easy access to different tools, screws, nails etc while on the job. A tool belt helps to transport and maintain tools while on the job.
