When we used to do tear offs - we had a tool that made removing the gutters a breeze - and it didn't damage the roof shingles. It could only be used on walkable roofs. Basically, I'd stand on the roof with a piece of angle iron that was about 4 ft. tall. At the top was another piece of angle iron that was welded horizontally like a "t" and was used for the handles and leverage. At the bottom was a 4" diameter steel tube. There was a hook at the bottom that was about 4 inches wide that hooked the gutter where you'd hook a hidden hanger. After hooking the lip of the gutter, you'd pull back on the handle and the gutter would pull away from the fascia board - gutter, hangers, flashing and all - would come right out. You'd move down the length of the gutter and do this every 5 or 6 ft. You could tear off a couple hundred feet of gutter in less than a half hour - no problem.
Has anyone seen anything like this or know where I can purchase one of these. Or does anyone have a similar product?
