Abstract
A manually manipulated tool incorporating a forward, serrated edge adapted to lift shingles and engage roofing nails so that they may be pried from the sub-roof by action of the tool against a fulcrum that is dimensioned and positioned to prevent injury to the users hand while operating the tool and provide an optimum fulcrum point for maximum leverage without presenting a surface which will mar the sub-roof.
