i have never seen such incompetent roofers and useless tool

[RipCart]

@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.

i certainly agree with you about the multi layer aspect ,were do i buy?

nice for ridge vent cuting hips down and definitly resheeting but i can rip just as neat without one

[RipCart]

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.

I wish we had this for da roofing company I work for because im the guy who has to clean all the shit up.

@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.

@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.

looks like my lawnmower



[chinelo1234]

i can guarantee it takes longer with this ripcart than the regular tools

[782Matty]

It definatley is better then crawling around with the saw and tearing off i aint going to argue that!

[ohmygoshjosh91]

these would only be good on walker roofs

[OK55OK55OK]

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

[mistermax771]

@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

[mistermax771]

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

[athallett]

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.
