As most people know, roofing is not the easiest work in the world. When working on the roof the last thing you need for the job to be made even harder by failing or inadequate tools, like a utility knife that has dull or broken blades or just does not function correctly because of poor construction.
In the trades contractors use use all different types of knives for installation of roofing and roof repair , cutting papers, roofing felts and numerous other applications. When a "straight blade" type knife is needed the Stanley 199 is hard to beat. It is sturdy, rugged, has a textured surface for and tapered body for good grip and no moving parts to get clogged with roofing or other types of contstruction material.
Year after year, decade after decade this knife has out performed all others in the standard straight blade utility knife category. When used in conjunction with Stanley heavy duty knife blades it always delivers top performance and gets the job done. For trimming Built Up roofing edges, roof drains, edge cutting on composition shingle roofs or cutting shingle patterns as well as many other uses this knife remains a top choice of contractors and homeowners alike in straight blade utility knives.
Ron Williams at Roof Doctor said "As a 40 year roofer and 25 year roofing contractor, knowing what tools to have my people use promotes better on the job performance as well as better quality to my customers, saving me money long term. I started with this knife over 40 years ago and have tried many others as well, but in all that time nothing can hold a candle to the Stanley Classic 199. It has been a staple in my arsenal of roofing tools for the entire time and I will always recommend it to my crew and anyone else in need of a durable utility knife."
A simple, sturdy and reliable tool, the Stanley 199 is a must for the srious roofer. It has always been and will continue to be a top choice of contractors across the United States and other countries as well. Hats off to Stanley!
