This short wood D-handle tear-off spade has a smooth blade and a built-in fulcrum for popping roofing material off the deck. A smooth edge is the right choice on single-ply membrane, built-up roofing, and any deck where you want the tool to slide under the material cleanly without cutting into what is below it.
Commercial roofing contractors use the smooth-blade spade for membrane tear-off and BUR removal where the goal is to lift and separate cleanly. The fulcrum multiplies your leverage so you are not fighting the deck on every stroke. The short D-handle keeps it manageable in tight areas and around rooftop equipment.
