A tool that permits a length of rain gutter to be positioned and adjusted along an eave of a building. In one example, the tool includes a grasping portion for securing the device between a fascia and a wall, and a support portion for supporting a gutter when the gutter is being installed. The tool is easily secured to a building without the use of fasteners, clips, or the like, and allows a saddle to be provided for a portion of the gutter, where the saddle is adjustable in three dimensions relative to a mounting surface for the gutter.

A system and method for removing shingles from a roof with an automatic triggering of power to a fastener engaging member which is accomplished with the aid of relative movement occurring when a leading edge of the system encounters a fastener coupled to a substrate with shingle coupled thereto.

The present disclosure relates to the field of tools and more particularly to tools used for locating non-visible structural elements. In specific embodiments, the tools are used to locate non-visible structural elements, such as under a roof or behind a wall.

An applicator and method of use is disclosed for applying coatings and paints to various surfaces. As shown, the sprayer may have an undercarriage frame that supports three-wheels. All three wheels may run parallel with the first wheels and second wheels attached to the sprayer frame via an undercarriage with the third wheel positioned behind and between both the first and second wheels on a separate arm or frame. The width of the sprayer booms may be adjusted. The undercarriage may be folded entirely or only a portion therein. The arm of the third wheel may be folded or telescope, as required by a particular application. A handle, which may be adjustable, may be positioned between the sprayer frame and the undercarriage. Use of the applicator according to the method discussed herein reduces operator fall exposure and increases application efficiency.

An application system for applying a substance over a predetermined surface includes a frame movable over the predetermined surface, a pressurized carrier source, a vessel containing the substance. The system further includes a first conduit for conveying the substance from the vessel to at least one nozzle and a second conduit for conveying a pressurized carrier from the pressurized carrier source to the at least one nozzle for applying a mixture of the pressurized carrier and the substance over the predetermined surface. The system further includes a cover laterally surrounding the at least one nozzle for minimizing overspray of the mixture, the frame carrying the pressurized carrier source, the vessel, the first conduit, the second conduit, and the cover.

A shingle remover includes a fork riser, a pusher, and front and rear crank shafts. The fork riser includes forks separated by fork spacers. The forks are configured to push under shingles and separate them from roof structures. The fork spacers and forks pull out the nails associated with the shingles. Scoops on some of the forks urge pulled shingles away from the shingle remover for disposal. A fork carrier associated with the fork riser secures the forks to a front crank shaft while a cam associated with the front crank shaft periodically urges the forks forward under the shingles. A slot in the fork carrier engages with the rear crank shaft to limit movement of the forks to a substantially horizontal back-and-forth direction. The pusher includes tines that bite into the roof to oppose movement of the shingle remover as the forks push under and remove the shingles.

A wheeled conveyance straddles and squeezes a parapet or similar vertical wall from both the inside and outside vertical faces. Side wheels may be adjusted to be closer together or farther apart to accommodate the thickness of the wall being straddled. The conveyance traverses the parapet along the top edge, and at least one fastener driver suspended from the carriage faces one or both of the inside and outside vertical faces at some preferably adjustable distance below the top edge of the parapet. While the conveyance traverses the parapet, an actuator selectively and repeatedly actuates the fastener driver(s). Various sensors and controls are provided that permit the speed, fastener spacing, and travel distance to be adjusted. Position awareness and visual, auditory, and radio communications may optionally be employed.
