The Roughneck Pro Lead Chase Wedge is an essential tool for roofers and sheet metal workers who require precision when sharpening or setting folds in lead, copper, zinc, and aluminum. Designed for durability and safety, this 65mm wedge allows for controlled manipulation of metal sheets, though users should note its specific design for chasing rather than heavy-duty prying applications.

Yes, it is designed for use on lead, copper, zinc, and aluminum.
No, the handle is an integrated part of the single-piece molded construction.
Use the built-in lanyard hole located at the base of the handle to attach a safety tether.
While the polypropylene is impact-resistant, it is designed to be struck with standard tools; however, avoid excessive force that exceeds the material's structural limits.
The wedge width is 65mm (2.1/2 inches).
Inspect the face of the wedge for metal buildup or deep scratches. Clean the surface or use a fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any burrs.
Wipe the rubberized handle with a damp cloth to remove oil, dust, or grease accumulated during work.
This tool requires no formal setup and is ready for immediate use. It is fully compatible with lead, copper, zinc, and aluminum sheets commonly used in roofing and cladding. To ensure the longest possible service life, clean the wedge face regularly to remove metal shavings or debris. Store the tool in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the rubberized grip, and inspect the impact face periodically for any sharp edges or burrs that could damage delicate metal surfaces. If the striking end develops significant wear, it can be lightly filed down to restore a smooth profile.
