MINIMUM RECOMMENDED - TOOLS & EQUIPMENT
Screw Gun— 2,000 to 2,500 rpm Clutch type screw gun with a depth sensing nose piece is recommended to
insure proper installation of the screws. The following bits will be required:
♦
1/4” hex
♦
5/16” hex
Snips— For miscellaneous panel and flashing cutting requirements. Three pairs will be required: one for left
edge, one for right edge, and one for centerline cuts.
Electric Nibblers or Metal Shears— Used for general metal cutting, such as cutting the panels in hip and
valley areas.
Note: Some installers prefer using a circular saw with a metal cutting abrasive blade. This method may be
faster, but it has some drawbacks:
1. Saw cut edges are jagged and unsightly and tend to rust more quickly than sheared edges.
2. Saw cutting produces hot metal filings that can embed in the paint and cause rust marks on the face of
the panel.
3. Saw cutting burns the paint & galvanizing at the cut edge leading to the onset of edge rust.
Chalk Line — Used to assist in the alignment of panels, flashings, etc.
Caulking Gun— Used for miscellaneous caulking and sealing to inhibit water infiltration.
Marking Tools— Indelible markers, pencils, or scratching tools.
Scratch Awl— Can be made from old screw drivers ground to a point. Used to mark the steel, open hems, and
as a
punch.
Utility Knife— Used for miscellaneous cutting.
Electric Drill— Used to drill pilot holes such as those required for ridge cap installation.
String Line — Use for general alignment and measuring.
Tape Measure— 25-foot minimum (another at 50 foot is handy).
Locking Pliers— Standard and “Duckbill” style for miscellaneous clamping and bending of parts.
