Motorized Shingle Remover

Abstract

A motorized shingle remover may utilize a motor to rotate a plurality of cutting blades that may cut and remove shingles and roofing nails. The motorized shingle remover may have a body that covers the plurality of blades to protect the user and may have a vacuum that may pull away the debris or an air nozzle in front of each wheel to blow debris away. The plurality of cutting blades may be angled. The motorized shingle remover also may include a scrapper that may pull debris away from the plurality of cutting blades. The motorized shingle remover may include a braking mechanism. The motorized shingle remover may increase the rate and efficiency that shingles and roofing nails may be removed.
