Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
A slate ripper is the fastest way to pull nails on slate and shake repairs without breaking surrounding pieces, so keep one on the truck if you do restoration or patch work. Slide the blade fully under the piece before striking so the hook seats on the nail head rather than the slate. Pair it with AJC tear-off shovels for full strip removals, and choose the guarded version if errant hammer blows are a concern.
Wear gloves and eye protection, and keep hands clear of the striking area when hammering the handle.
