In the December 2012 Professional Roofing magazine article “Knowing the options”, Richard Bondarowicz, vice president, Smart Roofing, Inc., comments on the importance of choosing the right tool in a competitive marketplace. An excerpt follows:

The combination of the right tools and crew can make all the difference in delivering efficient and valued work. One of the things to consider is specialty parts and tools… Pneumatic nailers have become lightweight, fast-driving, high-powered and accurate tools. Primarily used for production work such as new construction or roof system replacement, they allow roofing workers to quickly and precisely adhere base felt and shingles or tiles in record time. Richard Bondarowicz, vice president of Smart Roofing, Inc., Chicago, ensures his crews are equipped with pneumatic roofing nailers for every job. He notes: “The use of pneumatic roofing nailers has not only improved productivity, it also has increased the overall quality of installation, as well as lessened the long-term negative effects on workers’ bodies.”
