The AJC Shing-Go roofing shovel is the original design and still the shingle tear-off tool most crews compare everything else to. Part number 117-SGS, made in the USA. The blade is notched to catch and pull nail heads as you work, which is what separates it from a standard flat spade and what makes shingle tear-off significantly faster when you are using it correctly.
Commercial roofing contractors who do residential work keep the Shing-Go on the truck as their primary tear-off tool. It works on asphalt shingles, wood shakes, and light built-up roofing. The wood handle is the traditional choice and the AJC 117-SGS has been the benchmark for this category for decades.
