This smooth steel tear off spade pairs a #3 blade and fulcrum with a long steel handle. It is the Foxy long-handle spade, and it is the tool for crews that keep snapping wood handles at the socket on heavy tear-off work.

A steel handle will not splinter, check, or absorb water, and it will not break where ash breaks. The trade-off is honest: steel is heavier and sends more shock up your arms over a long day. Crews running production tear-off in the heat often still reach for wood or fiberglass. Crews who are tired of replacing handles buy this one and stop thinking about it.

The smooth blade is the right edge for membrane, built-up roofing, and any deck you intend to keep. A serrated edge is built to cut fastener heads on nailed-down shingle, but it also bites into the substrate, which is the last thing you want when the deck is being reused.

The #3 fulcrum is what turns the tool into a lever. Set the blade under the course, roll it forward, and the material and fasteners come up together instead of you prying against your own back.

Long handle for reach and leverage on open deck. Call 816-443-3004 with questions.
