Accelerate Shingle Removal with the High-Speed Pneumatic Shingle Hog

Made of steel, the Shingle Hog is built to withstand rugged use and stand the test of time. Its durability makes it an ideal choice for professional contractors. The Shingle Hog is an air-powered shingle remover that connects to the same air compressor used for nail guns, typically removing 17 to 20 squares of shingles per hour.

The speed makes it perfect for staying on schedule and meeting project deadlines. Completing jobs faster helps reduce labor costs. As a result, contractors can price themselves more competitively than those who use manual tear-off methods. After the initial purchase, the Shingle Hog often pays for itself after just 3 to 5 roofs.

The tool features a user-friendly, ergonomic design. The angled handle helps reduce strain on the back and arms, minimizing repetitive motion injuries and making it safer for extended shifts.

In addition to its speed and durability, the Shingle Hog is highly versatile. It can be used on both single-layer and multi-layer roofs and effectively works with asphalt shingles, wood shingles, or composite materials.

Here is the most effective method for tearing shingles from the roof. Check out our instructions and demo video.

1. Face the roof peak.
2. Slide the tool's teeth under the shingle tabs about three rows down from the peak.
3. Loosen shingles and the ridge cap across the peak.
4. Repeat the same process on the opposite side of the roof.
5. Begin working down the roof where shingles and cap have been removed.
6. Slide the teeth under the shingles, pull the trigger, and move down several feet.
7. Return to the top, shift sideways, and repeat the process in sections.
8. Let the Shingle Hog do the work—avoid forcing the tool under shingles.
9. Feather the trigger for faster shingle removal.
10. As shingles loosen, continue sliding under more and pulling the trigger.
11. When shingles gather in front, hold the trigger to raise the teeth and push the pile downward.
12. Use the Shingle Hog to remove nails, staples, and metal edgings.
