How to Use
Open each step only when you need the detailed instructions.
1Prepare & Locate the Fastener
Work only in dry. stable conditions with suitable access. fall protection. footwear. and roof-safety practices. If you are not trained for roof work. hire a qualified professional.
Identify the damaged shingle and its nail. then gently release only the overlap needed to expose the working area.
2Engage the Nail
Slide the nail-pulling end beneath the overlap and engage the nail head securely in the groove. Reposition the tool if the groove is not fully seated.
3Apply Leverage & Remove
Rest the lever section on a stable. protected surface and apply gradual pressure until the nail lifts free. Never force the tool against brittle or unsupported material. Remove the damaged shingle after the nail is released.
4Position & Fasten the Replacement
Position the replacement shingle according to its manufacturer’s instructions. Place a compatible nail in the slotted tip and slide it beneath the overlap to the correct fastening point.
Start the nail. remove the tool. and finish with the appropriate roofing hammer. Follow the required nail pattern. sealing method. and local code.
Tip: This hand tool assists with nail access and positioning; it does not replace roofing-system instructions. correct fastening methods. weatherproofing. or fall-protection equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which roofing materials is this tool intended for?
It is primarily intended for compatible asphalt or composite shingle repair and roofing-nail work. Do not assume compatibility with brittle slate. ceramic or concrete tile. standing-seam metal. or other roof systems without confirming the material and fastening method first.
Can it remove old roofing nails?
Yes. The pulling groove is designed to engage compatible roofing-nail heads beneath overlapping shingles so gradual leverage can lift them.
Can it help install replacement roofing nails?
Yes. The slotted end helps hold and position a compatible nail beneath the shingle overlap. Final fastening still requires the correct roofing hammer and the required nail pattern.
Will it guarantee no damage to surrounding shingles?
No. Careful placement. a protected fulcrum. gradual leverage. and avoiding brittle or unsupported areas can help reduce damage. but existing shingle condition and technique still matter.

The tool measures approximately 11.02 × 0.87 inches / 280 × 22 mm. The pulling opening is about 5 mm. and the forked tip is approximately 35 × 6 mm.
