Versatility to Cut at Any Angle
The Qual-Craft Shingle Shark makes clean cuts at any angle through asphalt, fiberglass, and laminated shingles. Thanks to its adjustable, self-cleaning blade, you get uninterrupted cutting action without needing to sharpen or replace the blade.

The crosscut guide easily adjusts a full 180 degrees for any angle. It cuts face up or face down, and from either the top or the bottom. For starter rows, it will make lengthwise and ridge cuts. For supreme convenience, there are two offset hole options--one for metric, the other for Imperial/USA shingles.

Valuable Tool for Professional and Home Applications
Professional contractors and weekend do-it-yourselfers will appreciate the Shingle Shark's powerful blade and stable build as they move from project to project. Thanks to its simple use, workers can put an end to jagged cuts that often result from cutting shingles by hand with a knife. Though the cutter comes with a standard guide, an offset guide for 18-inch architectural shingles can also be added.

Built for Safety and Durability
The Shingle Shark comes with a safety latch for the cutter, and can be securely mounted on roofs three different ways: using a cleat, footing the tool against a piece of 2-by-10 lumber, or using a 6-inch by 90-degree roof bracket. Rubber feet provide added gripping power. For durability, the tool is constructed of cold rolled steel with a powder coat paint finish. The sturdy open mesh table keeps its weight down to 52 pounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars ShingleShark, November 2, 2000

This review is from: Qualcraft 1000B Shingle Shark Shingle Cutter (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have had the ShingleShark for about two months,most of the shingle jobs that we do are with laminated shingles (shakes),cutting them with a utility knife took forever,and you were always changing blades, with the shark just a push of the handle and you are done. For cutting starters it can't be beat. I found nothing wrong with the ShingleShark. I found it to be a time saver, I would not be without, one a good investment.

This review is from: Qualcraft 1000B Shingle Shark Shingle Cutter (Tools & Home Improvement)

THE SHINGLE SHARK WORKS GREAT WHEN ITS NEW. BUT NOW AFTER USING IT TO HELP ME INSTALL ABOUT 300 SQ THE FIXED BLADE IS NO LONGER STRAIGHT BUT HAS A CURVE WORN IN IT WHERE IT GETS THE MOST USE. FOR WHAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE THING THEY SHOULD MAKE THE BLADES CHANGABLE.

This review is from: Qualcraft 1000B Shingle Shark Shingle Cutter (Tools & Home Improvement)

I used this shingle cutter or shear to cut heavy laminated shingles.If you have ever tried to cut these when they wear cold,you will know what I'm talking about.If you do alot of shingling this is a must have tool.Like any other tool,if it is taken care of and adjusted from time to time it will last forever.If you ever needed a new blade,a machine shop could make one easy enough.It was worth the money.
