Standing Seam Metal Roofing Tools
The Towable SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite is an all-in-one sheet metal panel preparation system that helps roofers streamline their standing seam metal roofing jobs. Say goodbye to hand seamer tools, snips, seaming pliers, manual-folding tools, hand notchers, and other standing seam hand tools. The SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite features a panel cutting tool for consistent, clean cuts, as well as a user-friendly hemming tool and a notching tool.
“The biggest benefit of the SnapTable is the quality of exposed valley cuts and the amount of time it saves. At first members of our team resisted the SnapTable preferring to snip by hand, but now, they take to each and every job site.”
