Roofers Slaters Nail Removal Slate Ripper – Key FAQs

• What is a slaters ripper used for?
  A slaters ripper is used to remove roof slates by sliding under the slate and cutting the nails holding it in place, making repairs and replacements much easier.

• Does it remove slates without breaking them?
  It’s designed to reduce damage by cutting nails rather than forcing slates up. Careful use improves the chance of keeping surrounding slates intact during repairs.

• What is the tool made from?
  It’s manufactured from hardened, tempered sprung steel for durability, resilience and the flexibility needed to work between slates.

• Is it suitable for professional roofing work?
  Yes. The robust construction and purpose-made design make it suitable for regular use by roofers, as well as capable DIY users.

• Will it work on all slate roofs?
  It’s suitable for many slate roofs that use nailed fixings. Roof designs and access can vary, so always assess the roof type and fixing method before use.

• Is it safe to use on a roof?
  Any roofing work carries risk. Always use appropriate access equipment, fall protection and safe working practices, and only work at height if you’re competent to do so.

• How do I look after the slaters ripper?
  Wipe it clean after use, dry it thoroughly and store it in a dry place. A light oiling can help protect the steel when stored for long periods.

• Can it cut stubborn or corroded nails?
  It’s designed for cutting slate nails, including nails that may be weathered. Results depend on nail type and condition, and careful technique helps avoid slipping.
