Shingle Eater

The toughest part of any roofing job has always been tear-offs and clean-up. Without the right tools, this is back-breaking work. But in 1981, roofer Vinny Testa found a better way. His patented invention, The Original Shingle Eater, made roof removal easier with an ergonomic, purpose-built design and thoughtful features designed by a contractor, for contractors.

Vinny’s passion and determination led him to sell his first few tools out of the back of his truck, and it wasn’t long before other roofers discovered that a Shingle Eater was much more efficient at stripping than any other tool. In the 40 years since, Shingle Eater has become the top-selling roof stripping tool on the market and has earned the loyalty and trust of roofers and distributors nationwide.
