5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Product, August 20, 2004

I was a little reluctant to order this item, because no one had written a review of it. So let me tell you: I've used at a little already, and this seems to be a very well-designed, well-manufactured product.. It cross-cuts, rips, or diagonal-cuts shingles easily; has very good built-in measuring scales that are easy to use; is very sharp and cuts the shingles very easily. I forgot to say it's very light to carry, too.

There's another product on Amazon that is priced about $200 higher. Maybe that one is even easier to use, or more durable. If you had to make lots and lots of diagonal cuts for valleys, perhaps you'd enjoy the other one. I don't know. But this one seems to me like a very, very good product - I'm really enjoying using it - and its hard for me to imagine needing anything more or different.

Cutting laminate shingles can be challenging but this tool allows you to make clean cuts even in cooler conditions. It's light weight makes for easy handling on the roof and the built in measuring scale speeds things up. Our large do it your self job was way less painful with this tool and the reults were great! Well worth the investment.
