Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
A magnetic-faced hatchet speeds shingle installation because the head holds the nail while you position it, keeping one hand free on steep pitches. Keep spare utility blades on hand and swap them as soon as cuts get ragged. If you prefer a lighter swing for long days, AJC offers a 7 oz. size in the Mag-Hatch line.
Always wear safety glasses, and keep the utility blade retracted or guarded when the hatchet is not in use to avoid cuts.
Add the AJC Mag-Hatch 17 oz. Magnetic Faced Roofing Hatchet to your tool belt and set nails one-handed.
