Roof shingle and nail remover

A hand tool adapted for separating roofing shingles and nails from a roof surface in one continuous forward motion without a second prying motion, comprising:

• an elongated handle;
• a head assembly having a wedge-shaped cross profile, and having a front, leading edge, a rear, trailing edge, a top, a flat bottom, and two opposite, parallel sides, said front and rear defining a head assembly longitudinal axis, said head assembly trailing edge being attached to said elongated handle, said head assembly being comprised of,
• a plurality of identical, parallel blades, having a pointed leading edge adapted to being inserted underneath an exposed edge of a roofing shingle to be removed, each said blade having a front leading edge rising in vertical height to a rear trailing edge,
• each said blade has said front leading edge, said rear trailing edge, a top, a bottom, and two opposing, flat, parallel sides, said front leading edge and rear trailing edge defining a blade longitudinal axis, each said blade having a narrow side-to-side width in relation to a front-to-rear length, each said blade having a flat bottom side profile;
• a plurality of spacers interspersed between said blades;
• wherein open, elongated gullets are formed between each blade, and;
• a two handle attachment pieces replacing two of the spacers, said attachment pieces adapted to provide attachment means for the handle, the side profile of the blade top has a forward section from the blade leading edge to a longitudinal designated point and a rearward section from the designated point to the blade rear trailing edge, said forward section having a curvilinear rising side profile from the flat, pointed leading edge to the longitudinal designated point, said rearward section from the designated point to the rear trailing edge being flat and parallel to the blade bottom.
