Tools

Turn-Up Tool
The Turn-Up Tool bends up the top of the panels between the ribs. This effectively closes in the spaces between the panel ribs, preventing water blowing water from going any further. It can be used by itself or in conjunction with our outside rubber foam closures for an even more watertight seal. Works well on many areas including ridges, hips, endwalls, transitions, the lower end of chimneys and more.

1/8" Drill Bit
This quality bit is great for pre-drilling panels with. This way you can take a stack of 10 panels or so, predrill them on the ground, then when you get on the roof to install it, you will know where the holes go. Make sure you carefully measure the fastener spacing needed.

Wonder™ Gloves
These are non-slip cut-resistant gloves. These gloves give you a good grip on metal roofing panels, and at the same time help protect your hands from sharp metal edges. Coated with rubber latex for a great grip. Specify either large (works for most) or extra large as a size when ordering them.
