This #12 aluminum scoop moves high volume without the weight penalty of a steel blade. The large blade is the right tool for moving loose insulation, light debris, and dry roofing material quickly. The D-grip wood handle gives you control in tight areas and on the edge of the deck where a long handle is a liability.
Commercial roofing contractors choose aluminum when the material is light enough that blade strength is not the concern and fatigue over a full shift is. The #12 size is the largest aluminum scoop most crews carry and it makes the most difference on jobs with a lot of loose material to move across a large deck.
