Ridgid r040sca roofing cutter review.

Rigid roof cutting tool.

I was interested in reviewing this tool for the fact i have never used one or seen one before. Romech electric rope cutter hot knife thermal blade for braid fabric webbing belting ribbon bench mount cutting tool kit heal sealer 60w 5 0 out of 5 stars 16 89 00 89. The folks at ridgid sent me their ridgid r040sca roofing cutter to test out and review. This ridgid product is new and does not yet have service parts available.

The tool includes two hook blades which are proprietary but can be purchased in 3 packs for just 7 99. Like the ridgid gen5x cordless power tools the roofing cutter features the company s hex grip rubberized overmold which is a slip resistant grip that gives you a solid hold on the tool with both gloved and bare hands the tool includes two hook blades which are proprietary but can be purchased in 3 packs for just 7 99. Last month we told you about the ridgid roofing cutter we now have our hands on one and it is well designed from its directional exhaust to its swivel npt coupler the tool screams quality.

The huge oversize rubber over molded grip is comfortable and even has an area to hold the included hex wrench for blade changes. Don t pull hard on the tool just keep the direction going where you want and it will smoothly cut any shingle. This is one of the best thought of products in a while while you don t really need this to cut 3 1 s into cap or simple cuts when it comes to rakes valleys thick so architectural shingles this makes it so easy. After reading ridgid s write up on this tool i immediately thought this is a wrist saver.

The blades secure within the tool by clamping in place with two hex screws.
