Prying is perfect, and actually works better than even my flatbar. As for the nail holder that was awesome. Kept the 15 year old shingles intact. Only replaced 1/2 the roof Review: Excellent utility, a little unwieldy - Great little tool. Nice and sturdy with a nice finish to it. I’ve used it several times already, and it’s been super handy. If I were to offer a critical opinion about it, it has two awkward things about it. First is that it doesn’t quite fit into a belt pouch which makes porting it up a ladder a little annoying. Second is that the way to pound the roofing nail in after it has been started with the notch takes some precision to line everything up. The starter notch is awesome but it is only able to get the nail in so far, and the size and shape of it doesn’t seem well suited to finish because you have to go from the notch to the outside surface. I still like it and life is better with it. ## Features - COMMERCIAL CROWBAR: Replace old and worn-out composition roofing shingles in no time with our practical pry tool.

I still like it and life is better with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tool for quick and clean shingle repairs *by G***M on July 6, 2025* Why did you pick this product vs others?: I used this Roof Snake tool for a recent shingle repair project and it worked perfectly. The steel construction feels strong and durable, and it held up well during multiple uses. The nail slot design makes it easy to slip under existing shingles and drive nails without causing damage. It also does a great job removing nails cleanly, which saved me time and effort. The size is compact but gives you good leverage for the job. If you do any roofing work, whether professional or DIY, this is a tool worth having in your toolbox. ## Frequently Bought Together - PacTool RS501 Roof Snake Tool - Shingle Pry Bar - Heavy Duty Nail Remover Tool - Roof Shingle Remover - Professional Roofing Tools - The Hillman Group 42041 Galvanized Roofing Nails, 1-Inch, 100 Count (Pack of 1) - ESTWING Shingler's Hammer - 28 oz Roofer's Tool with Milled Face & Shock Reduction Grip - E3-CA, Silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/5093345-pactool-roof-snake-roofing-tool-for-shingle-removal-and-nail](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/5093345-pactool-roof-snake-roofing-tool-for-shingle-removal-and-nail) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
