Tools and Hardware Reviews of Malco SB48AE The Beast Roof Shingle Removal Tool
Customer Review: Malco SB48AE "Beast" is the best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my Malco "Beast" #SB48AE shingle removing tool from Amazon-dot-com in 2007, in preparation for a challenging re-roofing project on a steep-sloped roof I was about to do that year. It was delivered early and I put it to work right away. The Beast will feel heavy at first, but I use mine one-handed on steep slopes (I'm a tough Old Guy!), holding onto the shaft of the handle with my right hand and using the other hand to do the shingle lifting and slinging. For low-slope work, I use two hands, with one hand holding the spade-grip and the other holding onto the shaft, shovel-style. The weight is an advantage. I am able to strip two (2) courses at a time, going across the width of the roof and back, not missing any nails either. The adjustment feature for the heads angle is good for when you work in awkward positions. I used the tool again on a similar project in 2009 and again in 2010. The tool only shows slight wear. It is very effective at finding it's way under the shingles and nails and prying the shingles off is very easy. As the tips wear, they get more effective and will allow you to zero-in on a lone missed nailhead laying flat on the sheathing, enabling you to slide the tool easily under it's head and pop it free. This tool exceeded my demanding expectations! I wanted to come back and write this review in appreciation for Amazon and Malco.
The tool also offers some degree of security if you start to slide down the slope of the roof, even when wearing a safety line. You simply invert the tool so that the tips are facing downward on the slope and then slam the tool onto the deck, pushing on the handle. The tips dig in, stopping your slide. You then stabilize yourself and get back to work.
