Ladiesman217: Loose roofing nails that come in a box don't fit very well the tolerance is very tight but might get better the more you use it. I had to hammer it in to the slot for it to fit. The nails that come in strips for a nail gun fit perfectly. The part that you hit with your hammer already has dents and chips in the metal from replacing 6 architectural shingles. I'm not sure about the durability if you have a lot more shingles to replace. For the price of almost $70 CAN with tax I hope this holds up. Very expensive. I think this product could be improved if it was a couple of inches longer specifically the nail holder.

Steve: Bought the cheaper alternative to this and it broke first time using it.. The Pactool is much more robust and stronger. Great tool to have for replaceing damaged shingles.

Mike R.: Used to help replace several damaged shingles and roofing nail pops. Works sufficiently well to get the job done. I think it could be improved if the "toe" end which holds the nail were about two inched longer, which would probably necessitate some type of buttress reinforcement since you would be changing the hammering leverage distance. When the nailing area is farther up on the underlying shingle, it is a little tricky to hold the tool with the nail in the end, flex a used shingle up over the tool and hammer on the raised boss with only two hands. The boss you hammer on sometimes is under the overlapping shingle. Overall glad I purchased, did make a challenging repair doable.

L. Weeks: Our roof is old. The last winter with heavy ice accumulation accelerated the damage to the shingles at the eaves. Before doing an entire roof, this tool made it realistic to replace the lower courses of shingles and underlying felt paper without destroying yet more shingles, and be prepared for this winter. Be sure to put pressure on the nail when you are setting it before driving it home, to avoid driving it at an angle. Again, a great tool, especially when replacing shingles on a roof with older, more fragile shingles to deal with.

Chuck Speltz: Worked as it should and made the job much easier. Good solid tool.

Scott C: Had 4 or 5 shingles blow off last winter. Was able to replace them in 20 minutes or so without damaging surrounding shingles. Pricey at 60 plus dollars but I see the price has come down.

Kevin in Canada, eh?: It works as advertised if you are using the skinny, shiny nails that come in tapes or belts for power nailers.
But the galvanized roofing nails that you get loose, or in small packages for use with a hammer on small jobs or repairs, are too thick for the little slot. You can still get some use out of the dogleg shape of the tool for hammering a nail, but you have to position each nail with your fingers for the first few bashes, until the nail is set enough. Then you can move your fingers to safety and hammer away. You'll miss having three hands.
The pry-bar end with the notch works as expected,
Also, that green paint is all very nice, but... y'know... it doesn't survive repeated blows by a hammer, not even a smooth-faced one like I was using. I don't know of any coating that would, so it's not a real issue.
