Roofing Hatchet For Survival

Estwing shingler s hatchet why it doesn t work well for general work outside of either roofing or demo work is because it s striking surface is actually slanted from a direct 90 degree angle so that when it hits a the field of a pitched roof it is less likely to not hit a roofing nail head square on. Cut shingles with the hatchet end of a roofing hatchet also known as a roofing hammer. Set the shingle you re cutting on the roof deck then measure the cut line with a tape measure and mark it with chalk.
