Description

Product Overview

The Tie Down El Burro 13882 shingle shovel is a purpose‑built tool designed to meet the demanding needs of roofing professionals and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike. Constructed from a heavy‑duty alloy steel blade, the shovel offers exceptional strength for lifting and removing roofing shingles, siding panels, and embedded nails without bending or breaking. The blade measures 47.5 inches in length, providing ample leverage while remaining compact enough to maneuver in tight roof valleys and around obstacles. A heat‑treated D‑grip handle, finished in the signature El Burro D‑handle color, delivers a secure, ergonomic hold that reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The tool’s overall dimensions—47.5 × 7 × 12 inches and a weight of just 6.2 pounds—strike a balance between durability and portability, allowing crews to transport multiple units easily on job sites. Engineered for both residential and commercial applications, the shovel’s design incorporates a reinforced tip that resists wear from repeated nail removal, ensuring a long service life even under heavy daily use.

Usage

When tackling roof tear‑off projects, the El Burro shingle shovel excels in a variety of environments—from steep residential rooftops to large‑scale commercial installations. Its lightweight construction enables a single worker to lift and discard shingles quickly, while the ergonomic D‑grip handle minimizes strain on the wrist and forearm, making it suitable for crews that perform repetitive stripping tasks throughout the day. The tool is also effective for siding removal, where the sturdy steel blade can pry away tightly fastened panels without damaging underlying structures. In addition, the shovel works seamlessly alongside roofing nail guns, pitch hoppers, and other nail removal equipment, acting as a reliable companion for extracting stubborn nails that remain embedded after the primary removal process. Whether you are a seasoned roofer, a siding contractor, or a maintenance professional handling emergency repairs, the El Burro shingle shovel provides the versatility needed to complete jobs efficiently and safely.
