Excellent tool for quick and clean shingle repairs
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I used this Roof Snake tool for a recent shingle repair project and it worked perfectly. The steel construction feels strong and durable, and it held up well during multiple uses. The nail slot design makes it easy to slip under existing shingles and drive nails without causing damage. It also does a great job removing nails cleanly, which saved me time and effort. The size is compact but gives you good leverage for the job. If you do any roofing work, whether professional or DIY, this is a tool worth having in your toolbox.

Huge Help When Replacing Shingles!
This tool is a huge help when replacing shingles. It allows you to reach under the shingle on top to nail the one below without damaging the one on top. The tool is well made, and seems very durable. It holds a roofing nail securely, even though it doesn’t have a magnet. It is on the heavy side (23 oz, 632g), but that is due to it’s solid construction. The finish also seems very durable. I used it all day, hammering on the end opposite the nail puller, and the finish is intact.* Overall length of tool: 11 inches* Cross section of tool: 1 inch x 1/4 inch

Well made
Solid steel. Buy this one, not the other one. Works as should and you cant break it
kia optima 2014 lx alternator fit perfectly, 3x savings, it was harder to remove the old one than to install the new one, I recommend –
I’m used it for tile roof
I’m used it for tile roof, I needed to remove the first line of tile roof and install it back, with the help of this snake bar it was two or three times faster than I did it before, I recommend it, I worked with it not at all delicately, nothing jammed or cracked, the metal is of high quality, the only thing I would like is a magnetized nail holder, it would be just perfect, take it and donât think about it, you can hammer nails with both ends, you just need to get the hang of it a little.

Works for replacing random damaged shingles.
Used to help replace several damaged shingles and roofing nail pops. Works sufficiently well to get the job done. I think it could be improved if the “toe” end which holds the nail were about two inched longer, which would probably necessitate some type of buttress reinforcement since you would be changing the hammering leverage distance. When the nailing area is farther up on the underlying shingle, it is a little tricky to hold the tool with the nail in the end, flex a used shingle up over the tool and hammer on the raised boss with only two hands. The boss you hammer on sometimes is under the overlapping shingle. Overall glad I purchased, did make a challenging repair doable.

Perfect for replacing roof shingles
I had to replace several rows of shingles and this tool was perfect for the job. It was the right size and shape to find the old nails and easily remove them. It was also ideal to hammer new nails into place without bending and breaking the old brittle shingles. If you have to repair shingles just get this tool!

Happy
The description was accurate, the shipping cost was decent, the shipping time was very quick and was a decent value. Very happy with the item that I purchased, this is a good seller, highly recommended. They are very well made and look very durable.

As a homeowner, I donât wish to go up on the roof to do shingle repairs but when I do have to, this tool is a must have.I had to do some shingle repairs recently in 3 degree Celsius because the roofer I hired botched the job.You need it if you do roof repairs, I donât think thereâs any other tool that does this. Itâs a specialty tool and this particular one by PacTool is very durable and well made.The shingle repair job would definitely be harder to complete without this tool especially in the cold and the shingles do not bend as easily anymore so that the hammer can get under them.
Andrew –
I love this tool. It has made my shingle repair jobs much easier. I am now able to nail shingles without completely removing the next tier of shingles above it. Just get the nail in place and hammer on this tool. It will get it most of the way in. Very effective.
Vincent H –
Very solid. Must have for any DIY roofing jobs. More expensive compared to other Amazon sellers but worth it
Robert Jones –
Good product.

If you have any doubt that you might need one of these, just get it! It’s a bit pricey, but you won’t be sorry. It makes it so easy to replace shingles when having to nail under existing overlapping shingles. No more hitting your fingers with the hammer, or breaking the overlapping shingle from trying to bend it up enough to get the hammer in. Just get it!
