1.
Do I need any special tools?
Not really.
Most metal roofing and even metal siding can be installed
using the tools you probably have already lying around the garage or
shed.
You will likely need a screw gun, metal snips, a hammer, a chalk
line, a tape measure and a caulk gun.
If you need to cut metal panels, then you can do it with a circular saw,
with a metal-cutting abrasive blade.
If you have an electric metal
shear, though, that is a better option.
Either will work.
You can get a
shear attachment for your electric drill as well, and that works.
Make
sure it has a nice, deep throat so it can pass through any high ribbing
on the panels easily.
A nibbler can be a huge help
