Abstract: A snow and ice shovel comprises a handle shaft with a slot disposed longitudinally along a side therein. An inner shaft telescopically fits within the handle shaft and has an ice chipper disposed on the end. A adjustment mechanism comprises two adjustment pins connected by a detent spring biasing the pins against a plurality of adjustment holes disposed in handle shaft. In use the user raise the ice chipper for use in shoveling snow and then lowers the ice chipper to break up ice. A handle is disposed on a top end of the handle shaft to aid the user in controlling the shovel. An adjustment hook is used to help the user apply the necessary force to move the chipper up and down. In one embodiment, the shovel blade is reinforced with ribs running vertically therein.

Abstract: A roofing bracket for use with a platform for working on a roof. The roofing bracket includes a base having a proximal and distal end. At least one nail slot is disposed through the base near its distal end. A platform support arm disposed along the base includes a bottom lip, a platform support and a guardrail. A backside support extends from the proximal end of the base. The backside support includes an angled lip that is attached with a rear portion of the platform support. A heel extends from the backside support. Finally, at least one brace is disposed between the backside support and the platform support. The heel and brace cooperate to provide a roofer with easy means in which to remove the bracket after use, such that the bracket nor roofing shingles are destroyed.

At least one nail slot is disposed through the base near its distal end. A platform support arm is disposed along said base and includes a bottom lip, a platform support and an L-shaped guardrail. A backside support is contiguous with and substantially perpendicular to the proximal end of the base. The backside support includes an angled lip, wherein the angled lip is attached with a rear portion of the platform support. A heel extends from the backside support. Finally, at least one angle brace is disposed between the backside support and the platform support.
