This #3 steel handle tear-off spade runs an 11 in. by 7 in. serrated blade on a 58.7 in. steel shaft with a built-in fulcrum. Steel is the handle for crews who break things. It will not splinter, check, or snap at the socket under the stress of hard tear-off work the way wood can after a full season of heavy use.
Commercial roofing contractors choose the steel handle for high-production tear-off environments where durability over time matters more than saving a pound on the tool. The serrated blade bites through nails and fasteners on the forward stroke, and the fulcrum gives you the leverage to pop stubborn sections without destroying your back in the process.
