Shingle-Replacement Tool
A laminate-flooring bar fits under replacement shingles in places where a hammer won't reach.
Whenever there’s not enough room to swing a hammer, such as when replacing shingles close to a deck or intersecting roof, I use a laminate-flooring bar to tap the shingle into place. See the drawing above: I hit the flooring bar at the top (1) and it drives the shingle up from below (2).
