Abstract
A push broom with special features to aid in removal of roofing shingles has a metal nail removal tool which is provided on the broom head that functions much like a claw hammer. A user may slide the tool under a nail head and then lifts up on the handle from a standing position to remove the nail. Secondly, the forward-facing edge of the broom body is lined with magnets. This feature allows for easy pickup of nails, staples, and metal debris from grass, pavement and other areas without having to bend over to pick them up, while ensuring that all metal objects are removed.
