45 Degree long nose bolt cutters

[stichill99]

Does anybody know of a suitable tool as I want to remove an asbestos roof from in below, It is screwed through the top of the big 6 asbestos profile into wooden beam. A normal pair of bolt cutter can't get in to cut the screws so looking for ideas to cut screws. The roof is too fragile to go on top of so going to hire a cherry picker and work from in below..

Multitool with metal cutting blade or sabre saw.

Possibly if they will fit below the big 6 ridge, It's amazing how little space there is!

when I did mine in the UK....
Used a ladder on the top of the wall and broke it up around the bolts as far as I could reach and again into biggish lumps.....
once u have a gap u can then work from within the building....
meanwhile spraying with water......a rainy day would be good as nobody will be watching.....
I had a friend at the council tip who took it for a few squids.....
anyway once the roof panels are off u can get at the bolt off a ladder.....
Dont hire a c/picker if its at a reasonable hight ur happy to work at...

If you've got a cherry picker once the first sheets off pop your head up and get the rest of the screws from above.

Edit. Or get a sawzall with a metal cutting blade.

I’ve just done this exact job and used an m12 hackzall with metal cutting blade cut through the nails with ease. Could then slide off the sheets and a local firm collected them which saved a lot of manual handling.
