This tear-off spade with fulcrum runs an 11 in. by 7 in. smooth blade on a 60.2 in. ash wood handle. The fulcrums are welded around the perimeter of the blade rather than tacked at a single point, which distributes the load and prevents the fulcrum from breaking away under repeated use on a hard tear-off.
Commercial roofing contractors who prefer wood choose ash for its combination of flexibility and strength. Ash absorbs vibration better than steel, which matters over a long shift of repetitive tear-off strokes. The long handle keeps you upright and moving fast on large open deck sections.
