Wonderful product. We have been ripping out 18inch red cedar shingles from the 1950's in order to seal our windows after removing vinyl siding. This has been an absolute miracle product. It saved hours and hours and hours and hours from my day. Thank you, you can't buy this product in person in my city and I'm so happy to have it.

Appreciate the slight curve so you can pry up the shingles. It is especially good for repairs of damaged shingles. The 'nail hooks' on each side of the 'nose' (not sure what to call them) worked very well to remove nails on damaged shingles well not damaging one I wanted to leave.

Worked just like in the utube videos. Very easy to pull hidden nails and install flashings. It is a well built industrial strength tool. Worth every penny.

A great tool for cedar shingles. I wouldn’t use anything else to repair or replace them.

great product, high quality, good priceused on 100 yr old slate roof replace about 100 slate shingles over 3 year period.some of the nails were old school steel and the ripper bar took a beating with no problemcan use to pull nails or sharpen and cut head off nailseven if only use for 2-3 shingles well worth itwith slate or clay tiles almost impossible to fix correct without this product.takes about 15 seconds to remove slate tile with this product. it is thin and strong rarely damages nearby slate.if you have done slate roofs repair you know start with one and end up replacing six lolalso wear tennis shoes, not boots and if weigh over 150 lbs use ladder or 3 inch thick camp mattress to protect roof

This is beef. The ones I've used before were thin tool steel, wavy and flexible, and to be honest i liked working with them cuz super light... and flexible.This thing is a monster, it is a great quality tool. You can grind/sharpen the front to what you want or leave it and the shingles will sharpen it for you and its heavier steel, will lift things well....Definitely feels like a name brand tool.

Purchased to use to replace broken cedar shakes off the side of the house and really no other reason. After reading a few post here and there on the net that others have used it to do this task, I decided to give it a try. so for those who buy this for cedar shakes I found that taking cedar shakes off the house, the handle is too thick for this job as it is wide for those who have smaller shakes to try and get up around the nail, or in between the two nails on each shake. I also found that the shake above the broken one will tend to split and can not grasp the nail body in the head of this ripper.As far as a shingle ripper It sure looks like it will do the job but that's not what I wanted it for. So back to the hack saw blade once again..

It works pretty well. I use it primarily to remove hard to get at nails in my cedar lap siding. Usually I just pry the plank up a bit with a putty knife and sometimes that loosens the rusty old nails (90 yr old home). Then I can easily pry them out. But occasionally one the nails doesn't budge when I pry the siding with the putty knife. Then I have to either pound the nail all the way through (and then fill the hole with putty/caulk when I am done) or I use the shingle ripper. It does the job though it often rips the nail down and tears/cracks the siding. I wish it was a little sharper so it would cut the nail cleanly (sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't). But overall, it does speed up the process of removing nails from cedar siding and that is a plus.

I owned a tool that looks exactly like this one. It was a hand me down that was 40 + years old when I got it in 1987 and now I cant find it. I just ordered this new Dasco in hopes that it will perform like the one I had. I beat the tar out of that old tool and it never let me down. I had to laugh at the one, two, and three star reviews that are posted, obvious these poeple dont know how to use this tool, so if you read my review, take note, This tool is designed to hook the nail that goes through the damaged shingle, hook nail from around the head (top side of bad shingle) OR hook the nail from the bottom side of bad shingle and beat down using your hammer, hitting tool on the front of the handle thus pulling the nail down and out or bending the nail down and out so the bad shingle will slide out. I must admit, the first time I used this tool it was a little tricky, but once you get the hang of it and have used it more than just once, then its wicked easy to use. On occasion you might find a nail that has been driven into a knot and it is in these times that it will give you a bit of trouble removing the nail, so before you one timers go and bad mouth a good tool, you might want to learn how its used first. Also, practice and experience makes all the difference in the tools performance.
