AJC Shingle/Slate Ripper with Guard

Slate rippers are used to remove slates from an existing slate roof during repair or restoration. The tool is equally useful on tile shingles and cedar shake. A slate ripper is used to slide underneath broken pieces of slate and hook the nail that secures the slate. By hitting the handle with a hammer, the nail is pulled out, thus allowing the slate to be removed. The new AJC slate ripper with hand guard is the first slate ripper with overstrike protection for errant hammer blows.
