1. Hang your roofing tools
Use spring clamps to keep your hoses, extension cords, and other tools and materials from sliding off the roof. Don't try this on brittle or scorching hot shingles or you may damage them. You can create a handier hook by sticking the clamp in a vise and bending up one of the handles.
