Everhard Convertible Seam Tester, 10-1/4" Long MM21060

I’ll just get me a broomstick and won’t need to bend to test my seams nice tool

Used for membrane roofing, this tool has lasted me around 2 years so far.

What’s great about the seam testers as opposed to other ones, as you can screw them onto the end of a broom handle, or paint stick, so is your testing seams you don’t have to be on your hands and knees, walking along every single one of them. This increases both speed and ease-of-use by a lot. It’s probably slightly less durable than other seam testers because it’s not full tang (because the paint stick Has to have some place to screw into, and that would be the handle) but if you’re pushing on this thing so hard that that becomes an issue, you don’t know how your supposed to test seams. You’re not using this thing like a bush craft knife, you’re using this thing like a seam tester, and not having a full tang should not be an issue for anyone. The price is also very good, and it comes a little less sharp than others which is good because you don’t want seam testers to have a needle point on them, you want them to be a little dull or else you’ll likely step through or ripped your material your testing. In fact, I usually take a piece of sandpaper to the tip of a new Seam tester for a little bit until I take the edge off a bit.

Everhard is an American quality company. In the roofing industry their tools are well known and with good reason. After running a few miles of single player seams the tips will wear down but these are reasonably priced and hold up well. Work great with an extension handle. The only improvement would be a better temper to the metal tip to extend the tools life.

Worth it! Makes checking tpo and pvc seams easier and finds any bad welds.
