"We had the opportunity to use the Snap Table Pro on a recent roofing project. The results were immediate. Not only was I able to save time on site, which since it was out of town was an added bonus, the overall quality of the finished product was fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate to use the Snap Table whenever I can."
