    That’s very clever. I see the nails are proud, from the felt. So I suppose it would not work on longer nails?

    For $797 it should collect the nails as well. That way they don’t end up in your tires!

    Or under the boot of a roofer causing a fall.

    Well we cannot be sure exactly how they removed the shingles, but, done properly there would not be that many nails remaining. Except for a few stragglers, the nails typically come off with the shingles.

    I would name this thing the nail-epilator
    Many roofers shuck the shingles from a roof using a #1 scoop shovel with notches cut in the leading edge or a 10" wide straight hoe. The notches hang the nails and their momentum strips them out.
