PacTool RS501 Roof Snake Tool – Heavy Duty Shingle Pry Bar & Nail Remover

Overview

Meet the PacTool RS501 Roof Snake Tool, a compact pry bar forged from high‑strength steel designed for professional roof work and DIY projects alike. Its slim profile fits easily into a pocket or tool belt, helping you keep essentials close at hand when you’re on the job.

The tool features a patented offset nail slot that lets you align roofing nails with a precise one‑inch offset from the bottom edge of the current course. This design supports careful fastener placement and steadier control, which can minimize incidental contact with shingles in the row above.

The claw tip is shaped to slip under nails and damaged shingles, enabling you to loosen and remove them with a simple twist. Because you don’t need a separate flat bar, the Roof Snake can streamline your workflow and reduce the number of tools you carry on a typical roofing or remodeling project.
