Power roof shingle removal tools strip roof like no shingle shovel

Bevel

The most important modification is to bevel the hammer housing. The ledge created by the factory's square cut often catches roof debris and snags the flow of the tear off tool.

A few minutes of grinding will result in a nice running DIY model.

Clamp

This air hammer has a protruding clamp, which makes a ledge to catch on the roof shingles. Two webs welded in front of the clamp guide the roof debris clear for more convenience and smoother operation.

DIYers can work around this by strategicly mounting the head, and/or operating the tear off tool with its clamp pointed towards the deck.

Handle

The bulk of the heavy handle is cut away and replaced with a lighter gauge material. This sheds two pounds and gains six inches for greater reach, penetration, and leverage while reducing fatigue.
