Just received a new Qualcraft Shingle Shark from Tools on Sale. We are building a geodesic dome and are installing 30 year architectural built up composition shingles. There are going to be an awful lot of hip cut shingles to roof this thing as the shell is all triangular panels. We want nice straight hip lines. As the roofing goes up we have both right side up and inverted triangles. With all this said, has anyone used one of these tools and if so how did it work out? I played around with it a little last night was impressed with how easy you could cut shingles. The blade seems to be only a piece of straight bar with no sharp edge like I expected. Kind of like a pare cutter without the sharp edge.
