Roughneck Slaters Ripper

The Roughneck Slaters Ripper is a specialist roofing tool designed for removing and replacing slates during repair and maintenance work. This hardened steel ripper features a welded handle construction with a comfortable rubber grip, making it ideal for tradespeople who need a reliable tool for slate work. Built for durability and strength, the hardened steel construction ensures this ripper can withstand the demanding conditions of roofing work. The black finish provides corrosion resistance, whilst the welded handle design delivers enhanced robustness compared to standard riveted alternatives. The tool is designed to slide easily under slates, allowing roofers to pull out or shear fixing nails without damaging surrounding tiles. This makes it particularly suitable for repair work where individual slates need replacing, as well as larger re-roofing projects where multiple fixings must be removed efficiently.
