Shingle removal can be a frustrating, back-breaking task but with a tool like this it can be a great deal easier. The small size makes it great for use in tight spaces. Use it on roof caps, hard to reach dormers or prying up valleys, cleanly pulling off heavy loads of shingles in one smooth motion. The side slots are made for pulling off nails along trim and anywhere else. For anyone working on their roof and planning on doing it themselves, this tool is a must-have.
