Work Smarter, Not Harder: How Roofing Contractors Are Saving 50% Labor with Swenson Shear

Roofing contractors across the country are discovering the power of working smarter—not harder—thanks to the game-changing tools from Swenson Shear. If you’re still manually prepping metal roofing panels, you could be losing valuable time, money, and bids. Our innovative metal roofing tools, including the SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite, are helping contractors save up to 50% on labor and dramatically increase job site efficiency.

15 Minutes vs. 45 Seconds – The Labor-Saving Truth

We recently spoke with a contractor who shared a jaw-dropping stat: it used to take their crew 15 minutes to prep a valley. After switching to the SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite, they’re doing the same task in 38 to 45 seconds. That’s a labor savings of over 90%, and it’s transforming how they bid on and complete jobs.

These numbers aren’t the exception—they’re becoming the new standard. While we’ve historically claimed labor savings around 35%, more and more of our users are reporting time cuts of 50% or more on a variety of roofing prep tasks.

Eliminate Waste, Improve Precision

Beyond labor savings, the SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite is designed to eliminate material waste and ensure precision cuts every time. Contractors who switch to our system report cleaner installations, less scrap, and fewer mistakes that cost money and time.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you can create a tab to box off the female leg with our system—the answer is yes. The tool doesn’t do it for you, but it gives you everything you need to create it quickly and cleanly. This is a common point of confusion, especially for roofers who were introduced to Swenson Shear years ago and may not have had full guidance. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Why Smart Contractors Are Embracing Change

Let’s be honest—change can be tough. A lot of contractors are used to doing things “the way they’ve always been done.” But sticking to manual processes may actually be holding your business back. In today’s competitive market, efficiency is your edge. The contractors growing fastest aren’t just working harder—they’re working smarter with tools like Swenson Shear.

Our metal roofing tools allow you to:

• Take on more jobs with the same crew
• Win more bids by speeding up your timelines
• Protect your employees’ hands and bodies
• Free up skilled labor for high-priority tasks
• Scale your business without burning out your team

Built for Small and Growing Crews

If you’re a smaller roofing contractor, these tools aren’t just helpful—they’re essential. With a smaller team, every hour counts. Every mistake matters. Investing in tools that streamline your workflow and reduce manual labor helps you compete with the big guys without the overhead.

We also offer financing options, including:

• $99/month for the first 6 months
• $0 down
• Soft credit pulls
• Corporate-only financing for companies 5+ years old

So if budget is a concern, we’ve got you covered.

The Bottom Line: It’s Time to Work Smarter

If your crew is still using outdated methods, you’re leaving time and money on the table. With Swenson Shear, you’ll save labor on metal roofing jobs, eliminate waste, and increase productivity—without sacrificing quality.

It’s time to invest in smarter tools for a stronger crew.
