i watched my father lay his ladder up against the the bottom part of a really tall gambrel barn roof and he ran up the ladder and when he got to the roof he just kept running, i was just a kid and i remember thinking how is he gonna get down now ... he literally slid down on his ass till his feet hit the ladder then spun around and climbed down. oh and he was wearing cowboy boots 🤣🤦🏻♂️ he was a nut , he used to climb and service coast guard radio towers too .
12/12 or below they are awesome with no worries. That crazy pitch I wouldn't even get on it with whatever if it was straight drop to ground. Church roofers are insane🤣
Roofed with my uncle for 2 days… he was so strung out on speed… he shot a nail with a nail gun through his hand… I watched him pull it out with a hammer and that was enough for me… never worked with him again
They do exist, I've met sober people that jump around like crackheads, none were roofers though. If you piss clean, you're fired, I can't trust you on my roof.
They borrowed my big grill lighter and brought it back empty. By the end of the job they got a little paranoid and hid in my garbage cans for awhile. Up until than they moved quick and they didn’t want lunch. He wanted 8000 dollars for the job but he needed a 20 $ dollar deposit before he could work every time.
Methhead: "Oh yea, we specialize in everything! You name it, we do it." Crackhead: "I ain't no joke bruh. I know what I'm doing. You ain't gotta tell me nothing." Alcoholic: "Do you think we could wait and start this job in January when it's freezing cold outside?"
The only roofer I ever knew was a heroin addict who ended up being on a drug intervention show. He was very scary looking and much older looking than he actually was, super nice guy, bought me donuts once. I hope he's clean now.
As someone who has worked in construction all my life and been in recovery yes this is very true. I cannot stand people that make the entire personality hey there he's just now in recovery and has yet to be humbled or he's one of them people that makes out his whole personality. Like the previous job I had there's a lot of people there using drugs and I kind of couldn't get away from it so I started realizing you know hey I'm the one that has a problem they might do but whatever with them I got to worry about me and I realized you know I should not expect other people or whatever around me ask me to go find somewhere else to work that those kind of people don't work and then I stay off drugs and I make more money.
@@donaldn5798 and I'm sure they're all still fine. He'll get him one of them fancy pitch step things if it'll make the job quicker just make sure that if they don't have one they can still figure your way up there and don't become relyinant on it
Crackhead roofers is literally a thing where I live in California on a house 1200 square feet a roof is like $20,000 but if you hire some crackheads it's like $8,000
Same thing with framers usually it’s 15-25 sf but since these crackhead framers came in now everyone wants to pay 5-6 bucks per sf that’s like 8-12k for an entire house are you kidding me how you supposed to pay 3-5 guys with that something needs to change…
They don't just had a coworker fall 30 ft broke his spine And wrist has been out of work the last 3 months because he thought he could fully rely on a pitch Hopper. And we were only on a 47 degree pitch. Don't waste your money on these piece's of shit. use a harness and rope.
You got enough for the both of us lol... Roofers have been using cushions for years. About time somebody reshaped it like a triangle and it's making money off of it.
@@chadvaillancourt I agree.... I do a lot of interior work. But I just finished up a few roofs I put off to the end of the year. I cannot buy what they sold but I definitely had three or four couch cushions for the 12 Pitch on the front of the house
u and the 33 geniuses that liked your comment really should look up the definition of creole and then ask yourself what the f#@$ about that sentence makes any sense.
I had to take copious amounts of drugs being a roofer to get over the fear of heights, nothing like running across a ridge 5 stories up coked out because you know it’s impossible to fall
I tried roofing once, day 2 I saw the “boss” smoking crack in the work trailer at 10am with one of the other guys. Finished out my week and never called or showed up again. Everyone told me before hand the trade is full of crack heads. I now work in concrete construction 😂 😂
This is one of the construction workers that chose to do this job. Its prolly his Dads busniess, or his Dad taught him the ropes. Now he spends his days thinking he's better than the guys that have no choice but to work a job like that. They never had Daddy taking them out for hour lunches, and they always have to stay late when Dad and son gets to go home. Thats how construction really works.
Using it on a 8/12 roof right now and it’s a game changer! Will be using it next week on a 10/12. I feel safer on it than jacks because you can quickly move it wherever you want. Also wearing CougarPaws and a harness.
Does the Pitch Hopper's dependability depend on the roofs shingles integrity? Does the Ptch Hopper damage the shingles? What's the weight limit of the pitch before it gives out? Normally you're carrying an extra amount of weight on you if you're working on the roof. Would this be geared more towards inspectors where they are simply just looking?
I feel the same about wearing life jackets in the middle of the ocean, with no boat. I’d rather drown than put trust in an inanimate piece of foam. No way no how.
I wouldn't trust it over one story.
Right… nobody’s ever falls one story and gets hurt. I like your reasoning
@@chadvaillancourt I have fallen off many of roof. One story I'm right back up the ladder any higher and I may need a minute
This is the best flex I’ve eve heard! 💪
I’ve been on thousands of roofs and never fallen, I’ll take your word for it. 😆
i watched my father lay his ladder up against the the bottom part of a really tall gambrel barn roof and he ran up the ladder and when he got to the roof he just kept running, i was just a kid and i remember thinking how is he gonna get down now ... he literally slid down on his ass till his feet hit the ladder then spun around and climbed down. oh and he was wearing cowboy boots 🤣🤦🏻♂️ he was a nut , he used to climb and service coast guard radio towers too .
the worst part is he was just there to measure the job and he didn't even get the bid 🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I'd have to rely on drugs to get over the fear of trusting the pitch hopper.
😂

If he's looking for a job tell him to hit me up
Wtf yall talking about you prolly havnt met many roofers or live in a shit city
Never trust a roofer who doesn't do drugs.
Yeah you're kind of right here they all do something 90% of them smoke pot probably 45% do some sort of stimulant and the rest do opiates
With no drugs idk how many roofers would be left 😂
Seriously
The roofers or the drywallers & painters?
None
If they are crackheads they will get done faster than the potheads

“Don’t do drugs” he says so that there’s more drugs for him
Your crackhead roofer voice is on point 😂
That pitch hopper be sliding a little bit though!😂
And lifting off the roof on the high side
They can slide, sometimes you just need a jackboard
Yeah it’s like a cushion that shit folds your gone jackboards for life
I’d love to see OSHA’s reaction to this neat little invention
Methhead: "Oh yea, we specialize in everything! You name it, we do it."

😂🤣😂 Damn it!! 🤦♂️
Completely true too.
Spot on, spot on.
I'm gonna need something if I'm gonna trust that pitch hopper! 😆
Bro was sliding
Hell with the pitch hopper, I'd feel more comfortable with a rope secured to a car with the other end on a harness that I'm in, lol.
That thing is a joke
Ditto
Make sure to take the keys out. Some guy was doing that and his wife drove off. Lol true story.
As a roofer I would put that p.o.s harness on the car and tie myself to the rope
Telling roofers to not do drugs is like telling a boat not to float. They're either drug addicts or recovering drug addicts.
The only roofer I ever knew was a heroin addict who ended up being on a drug intervention show. He was very scary looking and much older looking than he actually was, super nice guy, bought me donuts once. I hope he's clean now.
I'd still wanna "tie off" 😉😆
I see what you did there
Legendary
I’ll tie off with a rope around my neck before I trust a roofer that’s campaigning AGAINST drugs bruh wtf

That looked like it was a split second from going from the pitch hopper to the pitch pitcher.
"don't do drugs"
**remembers i have drugs to do**

A one arm hand stand is impressive! Sounds better if you leave out the part where he did it on a flat roof.

@@chadvaillancourt like I said he did crack and was doing wierd shit on the tip of the roof when it was almost horizontal
Just had some crackheads do my roof lol
“The pitch hopper doesn’t care, don’t do drugs…” -crackhead

Crackhead roofers is literally a thing where I live in California on a house 1200 square feet a roof is like $20,000 but if you hire some crackheads it's like $8,000
They do ok work for the price. Just don't pay until jobs done.
Lmfao on the easy coast it's worse..
Same thing with framers usually it’s 15-25 sf but since these crackhead framers came in now everyone wants to pay 5-6 bucks per sf that’s like 8-12k for an entire house are you kidding me how you supposed to pay 3-5 guys with that something needs to change…
This is hilarious
The $20,000 workers are on cocaine the $8,000 are on crack
Dam I didn't know they worked on that steep of a pitch
so steep it almost a wall
I'm a roofer, and it's not fun lol

That pitch hopper looks like it requires its user to be on drugs so they don’t freak out about how wobbly that looks😂
It’s on the instructions.
Today, I learned that tool existed. Thanks for sharing, friend!
You got enough for the both of us lol... Roofers have been using cushions for years. About time somebody reshaped it like a triangle and it's making money off of it.
I think it’s brilliant. Standing on steep pitch without putting pressure on your toes or ankles is awesome.

Man looks like he’s the one on drugs, and gotta love seeing that block almost slip right off the roof
This may be the funniest ad I've ever seen 🤣
It’s all fun and games until it becomes the pitch faller
I feel like I stumbled across a debate I have zero knowledge in yet agree with this man.
I would have to do drugs to trust the hopper on 61 degrees.
I just bought two 32" ones. These things work!!
The crackhead is the one walking a pitch hopper on that slope without setting up scaffolding

Thats how construction really works.
When it gives out and you’re falling to your death, just remember… the pitch hopper doesn’t care.
Bro, if no one does drugs then there won’t be any roofers left.
"The pitch hopper doesn't care..."
Neither does a tuned-up roofer...

I used to install on 9/12’s. No rope, no toe board. Just some shingles on the foot to help stay put!
Keep going up dude This invention is awesome but show me how you keep going up
I like how he said: “The Pitch Hopper doesn’t care”, and he almost fell over 😂😂
I’ve never almost fallen over in my life.
His cringe demeanor made me want to get high immediately
"The pitch hopper doesn't care"
Me watching it slowly slide down as he stands on it:
Actually, it never slid. Maybe you should watch in modern resolutions?
“Don’t do drugs”
This just in 95% of roofers leave workforce due to no longer needing drug money
"But if you do, use a pitch hopper".
But drugs are fun

Wow great invention.

Ever.
"the pitch hopper doesnt care kids, but does care about you. dont do drugs. "
Drug addicts just don’t get enough love.
The Amish have entered the chat
Knew a guy that was like 60 and would drink at 7am on the roof. He packed only beer in his lunchbox

Because you want them for yourself??? I guess I’m missing the connection between roofing and drugs.
Until the pitch hopper does and has a bad day and throws itself off the roof
The Pitch Hopper quietly cares about the shingles. It speaks loudly as you're hurdling to your demise 👼🏿👼🏾👼🏽👼🏼👼
