ABSTRACT:
An improved hand tool for removing shingles and accompanying roofing material from a roof. Tool (10) has a handle (14) attached to an assembly (13) consisting of a plurality of members (16a and 16b) disposed in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of handle (14). Members (16a and 16b) are disposed in a straight longitudinal axis in relation to each other. Assembly (13) incorporates an elongated tongue (18) disposed in a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the plurality of members (16a and 16b). Elbow (15) allows for tongue (18) to be attached to assembly (13) at a predetermined angle to handle (14). Members (16a and 16b) are attached to assembly (13) at a point immediately above attachment of tongue (18). Tongue (18) can be inserted under roofing shingles via gaps (25) in skip sheeting (30) boards that shingle roofs are commonly nailed to. Members (16a and 16b) remain on top of skip sheeting (30). Downward pressure on handle (14) uses members (16a and 16b) as a fulcrum to provide lift to tongue (18) thereby lifting shingles from roof.
