Patent ID: 7360473

Claim:
A shingle removal tool comprising: a head; a plurality of teeth coupled substantially perpendicular with the head, the teeth being in a spaced relationship parallel to each other, each tooth having an acute angle near an end of the tooth that is opposite the head for engaging shingles; and an elongated cylindrical protrusion terminating in an angled end thereby forming a barb, the barb coupled with the head, perpendicular to the plane of the teeth, and angled away from but not parallel to the ends of the teeth; whereby a user can thrust the tool beneath a layer of shingles, the teeth lifting the shingles off a subsurface and free of nails, enabling the user to move the shingles away from the surface like a shovel to move the shingles away from the surface like a litter spike or to pierce the loosened shingles like to spike thus gaining purchase to move the same shingles away from the surface, and to also move shingles by using the barb.
