Roofing Hatchets
Our roofing hatchets combine precision engineering with durable materials to deliver reliable performance for professional roofers. Available in adjustable, stationary, magnetic, and titanium varieties, these tools feature patented designs like the Mag-Hatch with built-in utility blades. Each hatchet is crafted to withstand demanding job site conditions while ensuring safety and efficiency during installation or repair tasks.
Magnetic Sweepers
AJC's magnetic sweepers efficiently collect nails and metal debris from job sites, enhancing safety and reducing tire damage. Our rolling and handheld models feature powerful neodymium magnets and quick-release mechanisms for easy cleanup on various surfaces. Designed for both residential and commercial applications, these sweepers help maintain organized, hazard-free work environments while improving overall job site productivity.
Shing-Go Shovels
The Shing-Go line of roofing shovels offers specialized solutions for efficient roof tear-off operations. Constructed from tempered steel with ergonomic handles, these tools feature serrated or smooth blades designed for removing shingles and underlayment. Available in wood, fiberglass, and shorty models, they provide optimal leverage and durability for both residential and commercial roofing contractors.
Seam Rollers
AJC's seam rollers ensure secure, watertight connections in metal roofing applications. Our steel and wood-handled models accommodate various drum materials and sizes, with extension handles for hard-to-reach areas. Designed for both standing seam and flat roof systems, these rollers provide consistent pressure to create durable, professional-grade seams that meet industry standards.
Core Cutters
Our core cutters enable precise roof material sampling for inspection and analysis. The Power Core model extracts 2-inch diameter samples up to 7 inches deep with sharpenable teeth for extended use. These tools help contractors assess roof conditions and plan repairs while maintaining structural integrity, making them essential for maintenance and renovation projects.
