This #3 smooth tear-off spade runs an 11 in. by 7 in. blade on a 58.9 in. fiberglass handle with a built-in fulcrum. The smooth edge is the one for membrane, built-up roofing, and decks you plan to reuse, where you want the spade to slide under cleanly without scoring the substrate below.
Commercial roofing contractors use the smooth-blade long spade on single-ply and BUR tear-off where the goal is clean separation rather than cutting through fasteners. The fiberglass handle is lighter than steel and more durable than wood in wet conditions. The fulcrum gives you leverage on the lift without wearing out your crew before the job is done.
