#PROLEVEL ROOFING HOW TO#
Right before the installation, we had clear and detailed instructions on how to prepare the surroundings. His professionalism matches his genuine enthusiasm to meet the needs of his clients! When we met with Chris and Clay at their ProLevel Oviedo office, they were very thorough helping us to choose what would match our house and our preferences best. He took detailed pictures of our roof so that they could have clear reference points for the quote, possible installation, and post-installation check-up.
When we got a quote from Clay, we knew right then and there that we wanted to work with him as our project manager. For denser materials that the bit will need to dig deep to bore into, high torque works best.☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ "Update 2/15/23 They have to inspect and seal all the possible contact areas during roof replacement so that there are not any cracks that can lead to issues, and this should be done IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INSTALLMENT to prevent issues. For fine work or soft (cheap) fasteners that easily deform, low torque is best. The lower the number, the lower the torque. Those numbers that encircle a drill’s chuck represent your drill clutch settings which modulate torque. You want just enough torque to complete the task without doing any damage.
#PROLEVEL ROOFING DRIVER#
Have you ever rounded out the head of a screw when the driver bit you were using left its seat and caused damage? Or have you ever driven a screw below the material’s surface when you just wanted it flush? Even better: has the screw head ever snappedoff during the drive? If so, you have first-hand experience with excessive torque. If you can only afford one drill at the moment, it’ll tackle most of your applications without any issue.
#PROLEVEL ROOFING PRO#
Pro Pick: For heavy-duty drills, get at least 750 in. Generally speaking, as you move up that line you get more torque along with increased size. There are several classes from 12V to 18V compact and 18V heavy-duty. So how much torque do you really need? Some drills go as high as 1200 in-lbs and others fall in the low 300’s. Pro Pick: Make sure your drill has at least 2 speeds and hits 1800 RPM for it to sit at what we call a “Pro” level. You typically find more variability and control than first meets the eye. However, even our diminutive 12V single-speed Ryobi has a variable speed trigger (as do larger 18V tools). Once in a great while, you’ll even run across a 4-speed drill like the Hilti SF 10W A22 which provides lots of control for nuanced work. That second speed really fills a nice gap and delivers faster drilling in harder materials. You’ll find a few drills with three speeds. The choice, of course, depends on the material being drilled or the fastener being used. On drills and hammer drills, lower speeds deliver higher torque. Top speeds range from around 300 to 2000 RPM or more. Many drills, however, include both a Low and High RPM gear switch. Some smaller or less expensive drills have just one speed. Looking for that Pro Level Drill Speed and Control Later, supplement with a 12V model if it lightens the load and your budget allows. Pro Pick: Start with a 1/2-inch 18V drill. However, you’ll still run into tough or stubborn jobs that require 18V muscle. They are lighter, charge faster (at least for now), smaller, and less expensive. Unless you’re in production work, chances are you can perform 80–90% of your job (and tasks around the house) with a 12V tool. So how about 12V vs 18V tools? Good question! We wrestled with that question in-depth.
