This lightweight slate cutter easily and accurately cuts standard thickness slate to any size or shape, leaving a clean edge on one side and a standard chamfered edge on the other. It cuts curves and angles as effortlessly as straight lines and wears a mere five pounds. Made In USA.
Slate Hammer - $99
You can drive nails with many types of hammers but this is the proper tool for laying slate. One end of the head is ground to a sharp point for crisp, accurate hole-punching and the shaft features tapered edges still favored for cutting slate by some slate craftsmen. Classic leather-grip. Made in Germnay.
Medium-duty Slate Ripper - $80
Slate Rippers from The New England Slate Company are die-forged in one piece from high-grade carbon steel. A form fitting handle with finger grips prevents hand-slip. The finely ground and polished blade is spring tempered for optimal strength and maximum flexibility.
Our most popular ripper is a slightly smaller and lighter version then the professional-use heavy-duty model shown below.
Weight: 3 pounds
Overall Length: 30 - 1/2""
Blade Length: 24 - 1/2"
Heavy-duty Slate Ripper - $98
This is our premium ripper. The larger striking surface at the front end of the handle minimizes glancing blows and lends more mass for easier nail removal.
Weight: 4 pounds
Overall Length: 32"
Blade Length: 25 - 1/2"
Slater's T Stake - $59
The stake end is ground to a point to facilitate driving it into a plank. This makes the top edge a functional surface for trimming and cutting slate using a slate hammer. Slate cutters have replaced the stake, for the most part, but it is still favored by many slate craftsmen and traditionalists. Made In USA.
