Abstract: A wheel suspension system having under powered acceleration a squat response that begins in the realm of anti squat and passes through a point of lessened anti squat at a further point in the travel.
Abstract: The present invention relates to tools for removing shingles, nails and other materials from a roof or other surface. A tool of the invention, in certain embodiments, comprises blades that move in preferably a reciprocating manner to pry up shingles, nails and other materials. A tool of the invention, in certain embodiments, can be powered through a remote power source to move the blades. In certain other embodiments, a tool of the invention comprises a drive-wheel which is rotated through force form a remote power source.
