ABSTRACT:
An air pressure actuated shovel for removing shingles and attached nails from a roof to facilitate re-roofing. The shovel has an elongated handle with a finger actuated trigger mechanism attached to its top end and a shovel blade supporting an air hammer attached to its bottom. The trigger connects the air hammer and an external pneumatic power source via an air hose inside the handle so that when the trigger mechanism is squeezed, a reciprocating piston, driven by an air hammer, abuts the shovel blade to cause it to vibrate. The vibrating shovel blade effectively loosens shingles and nails from the roof of a building. The removal of shingles with the associated nails intact enhances safety due to the elimination of flying nails.
