Installing Drip Edge On Your Roof!

when it comes to screwdrivers the first one I'm grabbing is my mega Pro this is a new mega Pro shaft lock great tools mega Pro welcome to pals toolbox today I'm going to cover cutting and installing drip edge on your house these are two different types this is a type that is on my house and this is what I'm going to replace I'm going to show you how to cut both of them this one is a little bit more difficult to cut than this one because it has more corrugation in it the more bends the harder it is to cut and the more bends the stiffer the the metal is anytime you bend something on metal and you crease it you'll strengthen it when you corrugate it you will strengthen it so this one is stiffer and stronger than this when it cost a couple dollars more this one I think is like maybe three dollars and this one's about five dollars for a ten foot link very inexpensive alright let's go ahead and get started on this I'm going to show you how to do an inside and an outside cut and make this Bend first I want to touch on a couple of tools you're going to need in order to put this drip edge up you really don't need much these are aviation snips these are right-handed aviation snips meaning they cut toward the right you can cut a right circle with this from here you just go like this and you see how they curve that way that that means they're going to turn out this way and your trash is going to go to the end so this is my left side I cut this off the right and that's why I call them right these are left you don't necessarily need a VA ssin snips for this you can use tinning snips these are light tinting snips they're straight cutters okay I can cut a tiny sliver right off the end of here and get a perfect cut it's nice and clean we can start off with an outside cut with this type of a of drip edge this type of drip edge is very simple it's just a 90 degree angle and then you have yourself a little a little flare out right here now I'm going to take my snips I'm going to go ahead and make a cut straight across the top of here okay when you make this cut you want to go all the way into the tip of it it has to go really deep in there so you'll want to make a V that way it widens it up and it kills two birds with one stone because you're going to have to take one of them and bend over the other it bends a lot better if you have this open and I'll show you what I'm talking about now I have this lined up with a perfect cut now this right here is a little small corrugation you can bend the small corrugation but you will not Bend this if I tried to bend this right now this is going to kink so I'm going to have to take this right here come down and make that cut now we have that cut we can just bend it right over and you'll get a nice a nice corner okay don't worry about this part here the shingles are over it anyway this is how it has to bend on this one you don't have multiple bends so it's very easy you're just going to make one cut right here and bend it and I'll show you except for your your V in the back take my square I'm gonna mark a line and walk the line here make sure it's all lined up see I have my tiny line right here I'm not cutting this part but I still mark my line because that's where my bend is going to be so I'll take this and I'll cut it right here on that line and get my straight cut first all the way to the end then I'm just going to cut a little bird's mouth out of it and make sure you get all the way to the end you take it bend it over and this can go underneath here or on top and you see you get a nice Bend when making an inside Bend it's basically the same thing you have to get that perfect line then all you're going to do is make one cut straight across here straight across that line you don't have to make a bird's mouth on this one because you're going to bend this way just like that now I'm going to take another scrap piece and show you how to make the bend on this one my inside Bend on this one is going to be a little different when you're cutting this stuff you really should be wearing gloves I'm only cutting one piece so I'm not concerned with it but if you're cutting your entire house you will get cuts on your fingers if you're not careful with this so I would suggest go ahead and use your gloves okay first thing I'm going to do is make my mark here and of course you're going to make your mark across here now I'm going to take my snips and I'm going to do it pretty much the same way as I would an outside cut and you'll see outside corner right here is my line I'm going to cut it all the way to the end if you can't get it all the way then you can do a bird's mouth and then get to there but you don't really need to do that on this one what you're going to need to do is cut this out though you still got to get that and if you can't get in there to do this which I can with these snips if you can't go ahead and make that other cut now this is going to Bend into it so in order for this to bend into it I've got to cut a little section out of here I'll cut this little corner right out of there now when you bend it goes straight into the corner that gives you a nice clean inside corner let's say you took and you march your piece and you did exactly like I said you made a perfectly straight line and you cut it you're going to bend it and when you do it gets crooked you don't have a straight Bend don't get frustrated I really want to show you one thing that makes this a lot easier what you can do is get your line and once you mark your line you come back and you cut it straight just like I said take it and put it on a piece of wood now it's going to follow that wood when you bend it and that's going to give you your perfect angle every time all right let's get into this you see where the nail is on the drip edge this is a nail that was backing out from the original roofer he caught this in between the plywood and the fascia and it didn't bite real well so it's starting to back out that will eventually push through my my roof if I don't get it out so I'm going to take that nail out and put another one in a little further over this is my flat bar and this is what I'll use to take that nail out I stick it right under the head and I'll hammer it down if I have to get it underneath the head and then twist it and it'll pull it right out if that doesn't work if it's too hard to get it that way you have this hooked in you put that down and then that will pry it out this is how your shingles made these strips right here this is tar when it sits on there and the heat gets on it it'll make it adhere really really tight so you need to get this knife and scrape it in there and knock that little seam loose once you knock that loose you can pick it up these popped off really easily because it was a rainy wet day today and it really didn't get it's been cool for a little while so now I need to get under here and lift this up this is your starter strip these bottom when this first one right here is your starter strip so find my part where I have nail right here I'm going to go ahead and take that out what you have to do is you have to get your flat bar in there and and this is why it sometimes tears that up when you take a note because that aluminum is very very light you have to take your hammer beat it a little bit take my flat bar put it right in there pry it up you can bend it twist it and pull it up make sure when you get it loose you do not pull it through the top chamber so sometimes if it's stubborn you can get it on the angle this way pop it out now you'll do this along all of your nails once you pull all your nails out you can take this strip out you if I have someone helping me I'll have them hold this and while I tuck the other end in but I'm flying solo right now so what I'm going to do so tuck it in get it where I need to over here let this run long and then I'm going to cut my angle and bend it across and that's the way I do it if I'm putting a new roof on I'll just I'm up top walking on the roof so I'll just make my bending up top and then go down I have run the slide it up there another couple of inches so I'm going to just slide it right out not all the way out from there making sure it's still tucked in there okay I'm going to mark my lines right here and cut it [Music] I could have done this on the ground measured it off it's just as easy for me to do it this way make my straight cut right here when you go to cut this make sure you hold this piece up because if you cut this Bend right here it's going to fall and kink the whole thing so keep it keep it off reinforce over here so I got that cut now I'm going to make this top Bend cut I'm going to go ahead and cut this angle out or burn melt out now I can just bend it over I have my Ben make sure that I'm underneath my shingles on both sides then I can shove it back I see my shingle wants to lip right here just a little bit I get it tucked in make sure that I'm tucked in over here to make sure you don't have any obstructions you can bend this down a little bit to shove it in it pushes the shingles up and then you shove it in nice fit now all I have to do is pop a couple of nails in here I'll pull this up and I'm just going to tack a nail right into there if you can't get this high enough with that starter strip you can take this and you see how this is tight right here this is what I was telling you about this isn't broken loose yet you take your knife and shove it in there and you can break them loose without tearing your shingles these have been laid down for quite a while so they're on there pretty good see I can lift this one up easier and just nail through my starter starter strip and go right through my starter strip and all on this so take my nail once I make sure this is tight against the fascia pop my nail in that's it this isn't going anywhere I'll bring it over to the end make sure that it's tight all the way before you start nailing if you nail it and it's on an angle you're going to have a little bit of a time because you got to pull that nail back out and push this other end over before I take this next strip and put on here I make sure not to nail too close to this end over here give myself a little room because I have to slide this one underneath this one when you do your laps you want your laps to be away from where your eyes are most of the time so walk out of my house and I look this way I don't want this seen this one over lapping that where I see this edge I want to have this going that way so this lap laps over this one and you have a nice clean line all the way down when you get close to that other end this one's going to lap over that so it's no big deal right here I have to tuck tuck this one behind here it's best to have two people when you're doing this but I had just one little length or two little lengths and I figured I'd show y'all how to do it it's real simple just make sure especially with long lengths you don't push it on this end and it's not going in all the way and don't try to force it go over there and see what's what the obstruction is if you get it all clear and it tucks in once it's tucked in you put your nails when you put your nails you make sure you do not go and put your nails place your nails by the seams when you lift it up the two sides of this shingle you don't want to have it next to the creases anywhere in that area because water could possibly seep in there get around this nail and and you'll have a leak okay I'm done for today nothing to it a couple of pieces of drip edge I have another video that shows how to replace and fix your patient so check that one out too don't forget to subscribe talk to you later you [Music] when it comes to screwdrivers the first one I'm grabbing is my mega Pro this is a new mega Pro shaft lock and this is one cool tool this one right here can lock other ones in place so I have a button right here I'll push it down and I'll lock another one on to it I could have an extension now I can lock another extension on to it once it goes down and clicks it stays in place and it won't come out check out this feature when you slide this out now you have 14 different tips in the back of here once you put them back in place it stays in there and they won't fall out this shaft does not move when you spin the back cap so you can take your pressure and put on here and spin this and get your screws loose without having to worry about the cap coming loose or the shaft turning when you don't want it to you also have this feature right here where you can spin this and turn it the shaft turns but your hand can keep this steady so you can really move quickly
