How to cut off roofing nails. When i replaced my roof a few years ago i made sure i used the shortest possible nails because i was tired of banging my head on nails in the attic. If you are still worried about the heat use a large side cutting pair of pliers. I m getting my house painted in a few weeks and i want to cut off all the tiny nail points under the eaves. If you want to cut through the shank of a screw or nail to separate the two pieces of wood metal or plastic that it s holding you best bet is a saw with a metal cutting blade.
You can get metal cutting blades for virtually any saw you own including circular saws but the most useful saws for cutting fasteners are those that operate by reciprocating action. There are special types with angled jaws made just for that type job. However i failed to notice that the nails are poking thru the eaves about 1 8 to 1 4 inch. In this video i share an easy way to cut through nails.
