Cedar Ripper

 The Cedar Ripper Roofing Tool is one of the most cost effective and clever designs to hit the roofing industry in decades. This highly productive tool will remove 20 cedar shakes at one time vs. only 6 shakes using today’s standard method of pitch and shovel. It also avoids hitting the shake nails that slow removal due to its slimmer design that fits between the rows of nails. 

 Pitch forks and shovels both pop the material off the roof structure; this breaks the material into small pieces and creates a huge mess. The Cedar Ripper is designed to go underneath the paper that is underneath the cedar roofing material. When lifting up on the Cedar Ripper handle, the paper stays tacked to the cedar shakes. This action allows the material to be contained in a roll form as it comes off the roof.

 Pitch forks and shovels both need to be forced underneath the material, whereas the Cedar Ripper is simply placed underneath the material and once in position, the worker simply lifts up on the handle to remove the roofing material. This new process and tool are truly revolutionary for the roofing industry and will save nearly 3X the amount of time, a significant labor savings! ROI is only one roofing job!!

Step 1:

- Place the pointed end of the Cedar Ripper on the top of the adjacent rafter underneath the roofing material

Step 2:

- Simply lift upwards on the handle and push forward. The paper will come up with the roofing material and stay together in a roll form. You will never have to deal with another nail being in the way again

Step 3:

- Repeat steps until you have reached the end of the section or the roll get too heavy
