Dear Fred:
We would like to tell you how satisfied we are with our purchase of the Labour Saver 550. We found that this piece of equipment has been a real asset to our company. It has substantially increased our productivity. On tear off jobs instead of using a full crew of six men we were able to reduce it down to three with the use of the Labour Saver. A little organization is required however the man hours saved are considerable. We have found it much more efficient in removing larger areas of material and around curbs and perimeters.
Our men have found the equipment easy to use and traning time required was minimal. As the construction industry continues to have an aging work force we are looking at every avenue to reduce injuries to our men and the subsequent costs. We have found this to be a beneficial piece of equipment not only in saved man hours but also in preventable injuries.
Sincerely,
J. David Walden

Re: Labour Saver 550
Thank you Fred for convincing me and my company of the value of the Labour Saver. We have had the machine on three jobs so far. Two concrete deck jobs and a steel deck job with mechanically fastened insulation. The second concrete deck job is not complete thus far but on the other two jobs, neither one of them over 100 squares, we cut one day labour off of one and 1.5 days off the mechanically fastened insulation job. The men in the field absolutely love the machine for the labour that it saves them physically.
The time and physical labour it saves scraping the roof off of concrete decks makes me wish that we had had this machine when I was working on the roof. I was unsure at first putting the Labour Saver on steel deck because of the weight, but on the steel deck job we didn't have any problems with crumpling or denting of the deck, and pop the insulation up complete with 99% of the screws and plates coming with it.
Thank You,

Dear Fred:
After having several months to use and experiment with the Ramrod Taskmaster 550 Roofer Special, there is no doubt that we made the right choice by investing in this piece of equipment.
The crews find tear-off jobs much simpler, as there is less physical labour involved for them. This is a definite bonus, especially throughout the summer months when the heat factors in, as well. Setup for jobs also runs a lot smoother and requires fewer men now that we are able to transport large loads of material to different areas of the roof with this equipment.
It must also be said that when we required service for this machine, we were impressed to find that there was a one year warranty on the whole machine, with a two year warranty on the engine. Service was prompt and effective so that we experienced very little downtime of the equipment.
Overall, we are very satisfied with our purchase and would recommend this machine to any company who is interested in saving both time and money.
Yours truly,

Dear Fred,
As a company, we would like to say that the Labour Saver 550 is the best piece of roofing equipment we have ever bought. We bought our first unit in September of 2008 and since then have added two more. In our opinion, with the amount of time it saves in labour it easily pays for itself. It also pays for itself in the fact with wear and tear on employees. This tool is just amazing! After a good size tear-off with a small crew, there is still energy to do a significant portion of roof easily. I only wish I had one to use in my 20 yrs of roofing. We think our guys are pretty lucky and they themselves think they are.
We have had a couple of issues but they were taken care of pretty swiftly.
We would recommend this amazing piece of equipment to any company. It could only significantly improve your company.
Yours Truly,
WESTERN WEATHER PROTECTOR LTD.
