What exactly is a roofing hammer?
As part of their job, roofers use hammers. A roofing hammer, commonly referred
to as a “roof axe”, is an
essential roofing tool. This particular hammer has an adjustable gauge which allows you to
align the clapboards to get the proper exposure swiftly. Those who have worked with
roofing slates understand the need for a competent slater’s hammer for pounding,
shattering and clipping fragile slates.
These hammers are intended for use with slate shingles during roofing. One end of the
roofing hammer features a flat head for driving nails. A lengthy pick is at the other end, and
this is used to puncture holes in the slate before driving into the roof. It may also include a
stub at the pick’s base which forms a claw for removing nails.
Roofing hammers are most useful for:

What is a slate hammer?
A slate hammer is a piece of must-have equipment for every slate roofer, and it is
lightweight, adaptable, and simple to utilize on the roof. The slate hammer’s primary duties
include cutting and grinding slate, drilling holes in slate, and pounding nails during
installation.
Tips for slate hammers
Slate hammers have a sharp pick at one end for punching holes in slate; a flat-faced end for
driving nails into the roof batten; and a keyhole on the side for removing nails.
Cutting thicker slabs of slate (+3/8″) is also achievable using a hammer and stake. A slate
hammer is not intended to be used to strike back at a slate ripper (in order to remove the
slate).
