Abstract
There is provided a tool for removing cedar roofing material. The tool has a handle with a first end and a second end which is spaced-apart from the first end. The second end of the handle is inclined. The tool includes a blade having a base portion connected to the second end of the handle. The blade has a proximal end which is adjacent to the base portion of the blade. The blade has a distal end which is spaced-apart from the base portion of the blade. The blade is arcuate-shaped between its proximal end and its distal end. The base portion is angled relative to the proximal end of the blade.
Claims20
A tool for removing cedar roofing material, the tool comprising:
- a handle having a first end and a second end which is spaced-apart from the first end, the second end of the handle being inclined;
- and
- a blade having a base portion connected to the second end of the handle, a proximal end which is adjacent to the base portion, and a distal end which is spaced-apart from the base portion, the blade being arcuate-shaped between its proximal end and its distal end, and the base portion being angled relative to the proximal end of the blade.
A tool for removing cedar roofing material, the tool comprising:
- a handle having a first end and a second end, the second end being spaced-apart from the first end by a first distance;
- and
- a blade having a proximal end connected with the second end of the handle and having a distal end, the distal end of the blade being spaced-apart from the proximal end by a second distance, the blade being arcuate-shaped between its proximal end and its distal end, the second distance being twice the first distance.
A method of using an elongate tool to remove cedar roofing material from a roof having a plurality of spaced-apart rafters, and a plurality of spaced-apart roof strapping connected to and extending perpendicular to the rafters, the cedar roofing material connecting to the roof strapping, the tool having a handle and a blade connected to the handle, the method comprising:
- inserting the blade of the tool between respective ones of the strapping;
- and
- raising the handle of the tool upwards when the blade of the tool abuts one of said rafters, the tool causing the cedar roofing material to be removed thereby.
The method as claimed in 15 further including:
- inserting the tool between adjacent ones of the roof strapping at a location adjacent to a first one of the rafters;
- and
- raising the handle of the tool upwards when the blade of the tool abuts a second one of the rafters, the second one of the rafters being adjacent to and spaced-apart from the first one of the rafters.
