Description
The Cedar Ripper is a manual roofing tear-off tool used for removing cedar shakes and similar roofing materials. Its narrow profile allows the blade to slide between rows of fasteners, lifting shakes and the underlying roofing paper together rather than breaking them apart during removal.
This tool is commonly used during cedar shake tear-offs to increase removal efficiency and reduce loose debris on the roof surface. By lifting multiple shakes at once, it helps streamline tear-off work compared to traditional pitch forks or shovels, while keeping material more contained as it is removed.
Key Features
- Removes multiple cedar shakes in a single pass
- Slim profile fits between rows of nails
- Lifts shakes and roofing paper together
- Manual tear-off tool with no power requirement
- Intended for cedar shake and roofing material removal
Steps
Step 1:
- Place the pointed end of the Cedar Ripper on the top of the adjacent rafter underneath the roofing material
Step 2:
- Simply lift upwards on the handle and push forward. The paper will come up with the roofing material and stay together in a roll form. You will never have to deal with another nail being in the way again
Step 3:
- Repeat steps until you have reached the end of the section or the roll get too heavy

FAQs
Q: How much material can typically be removed at one time?
A: The Cedar Ripper can remove approximately 20 cedar shakes in a single pass, compared to about 6 shakes using traditional pitch-and-shovel tear-off methods.
Q: Does the roofing paper come off separately or with the shakes?
A: The tool slides underneath the roofing paper so the paper stays attached to the cedar shakes as they are lifted, allowing the material to come off more contained in a roll form.
Q: How does the tool handle shake nails during tear-off?
A: The Cedar Ripper has a slim profile that fits between rows of nails, which helps avoid contacting shake nails during removal.
