I am in the process of replacing some fascia boards that were
damaged. These fascia boards are 1x8 and is nailed to another
layer of 2x12 and they are nailed to the roof and soffit framing.

I am only removing the outer layer of 1x8. There is a "drip" or a
metal flashing that folds down and when they installed the flashing
and asphalt cement roof they screwed the flashing down along the
edges and nailed down in other spots. Now that I removed the fascia
boards, I can see the ends of screws and nails every 4 inches or so
sticking out.

In order for me to install the new fascia boards, I need to get the
screws and nail ends out of the way. Is there a way to address this
without having to redo the flashing above? I really would like to
avoid having to mess with it since it's fine. Is there a tool that
would allow me to "snip" off the end of the nails and screws in a
tight space?

Thanks in advance,

Can you fit a 4 1/2" grinder in there? With a good cutting disc it
would work. Screws are harder than nails.
Good luck


I have about 1 1/2 inch of space so no luck with an angle grinder.
Thanks.

Oxyacetylene torch has a fine tip for tight places. No, guess not huh...
