@chinelo1234 We understand your skepticism, but when you factor in the clean up time you would be surprised how much time you save. We spent a lot of time using prototypes of the RipCart and I can assure you we would not have gone to through the effort of creating a business if it did not save time and make the work easier. Since our launch we have received a tremendously positive response from our customers.
You'll save some time in tear off, and clean up, but, not that much, when you consider the cost of the blades, and the time cutting the roof too. All those cut lines didn't happen in ten minutes. But, the neater job is impressive, and sure, they will stack in the dumpster better, lowering the cost there as well. I don't think I'd buy that cart, but, I'd build one out of wood, and give it a try. It is a pretty neat saw holder. You might be able to turn it upside down and have a table saw
looks like a good tool for shingles and modified but i doubt it would be ideal for and decent size BUR.Cause you would spend too much time maintaining it.but it looks like a graet little tool for shingle jobs
i got a trial cart from the guy that made it and true when the roof was rotted to hell it wasn't ripping up in perfect square but it gave you a chance to not have to pick up cow chips. the time and money i saved when the sqs came up nice, i let one of my labors go.
Saw this at roofing expo and bought it. This thing's the cats ass. Now we cut the roofs just like commercial jobs. Way easier than the old way. Also, great for commercial repairs. Better than using an axe.
When I first saw this on here I thought it would be good to have but now that I look at it again its a total waste. Because if the roof your rippin off is old as fuck then theres no way the shingles are gonna come up like that.
@nywarlord87 Yeah some very old roofs shingles tend to break apart more, but if the shingles are cut you would be surprised how much better they stick together. When we were first developing the RipCart we were not sure if it would help with very old brittle shingles, but we were pleasantly surprised with the results. It's not perfect, but still better than not cutting them.
one aspect to add you need to invent a tool for ripping a un walkable roofs perhaps a rope or extension handle with a piston to control its downward climb.
@deathmarch5 yeah the more i think about it its not all that great for shingles unless your on a very low sloped roof.But for repairs and limited work on a bur it might be good
what this dont understand is for those tear off where there are no life in the shingle or when its to cold in the morning that they just fall apart its wasted efforts and i just stay by the bosses word get the fuckin thing tore off
@theMatt1308 We understand your skeptical outlook because we too have been fooled by other roofing tools on the market that simply do not work. The RipCart is different because you can clean up as you tear them off. The debris is more likely to stick together and tear in one manageable piece that is easy to dispose of. You don't have to go back and clean up nails and small debris. We figure the tear off will be twice as fast. Not to mention tearing cut shingles is easier.
This type of Roofing Building looks like major work, why not use a color bond roofing or tiles like here in Australia, these roofs can last from 60-100 years, how often do the shingles need to be removed?
I would like that for ridge vents and cutting hips. Pointless for ripping though, better to just use a ripper and rip it off the way it was put on, getting all the nails.
In our experience, multi-layer roofs that are cut into manageable sections tear-off and clean up to 50% faster than uncut roofs.
During the tear-off, cut sections are more likely to stick together because the shingles do not have to be ripped apart. These sections conveniently stack together and require less dumpster space. Clean up is much faster because many of the small pieces are eliminated and there are fewer stray nails to clean up.
looks like my lawnmower
