Abstract: A roofing tool is disclosed and includes an elongated handle having top and bottom end portions. A head member is provided and includes a flange portion secured to the bottom end portion of the handle and has a base edge and first and second side surfaces. The head member also includes a foot portion extending outwardly from the base edge of the flange portion away from the flange first side surface, the foot portion having top and bottom surfaces, a front edge, a side edge distal from the flange first side surface, and a rear edge. The rear and side edges of the foot portion are tapered while the front side edge of the foot portion is at least blunted. Finally, the flange portion is aligned with the handle so that the plane defined by the bottom surface of the foot portion is at approximately a 30.degree.-60.degree. angle relative to the axis of the elongated handle.
