Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Hook blades are the standard choice for cutting installed shingles without tearing the tabs below, so roofers typically keep several blades on hand and swap them as soon as cuts start to drag. Use a straight blade for clean cross-grain cuts and save hook blades for through-material slicing.

Hook and utility blades are extremely sharp: always handle and change blades with cut-resistant gloves, and dispose of used blades in a blade disposal container.
