Slate Hammer - $99

You can drive nails with many types of hammers but this is the proper tool for laying slate. One end of the head is ground to a sharp point for crisp, accurate hole-punching and the shaft features tapered edges still favored for cutting slate by some slate craftsmen. Classic leather-grip.
Made in Germnay.

Slate Ripper

Medium-duty Slate Ripper - $80

Slate Rippers from The New England Slate Company are die-forged in one piece from high-grade carbon steel. A form fitting handle with finger grips prevents hand-slip. The finely ground and polished blade is spring tempered for optimal strength and maximum flexibility.

Our most popular ripper is a slightly smaller and lighter version then the professional-use heavy-duty model shown below.

  • Weight: 3 pounds
  • Overall Length: 30 - 1/2""
  • Blade Length: 24 - 1/2"

This is our premium ripper. The larger striking surface at the front end of the handle minimizes glancing blows and lends more mass for easier nail removal.

  • Overall Length: 32"
  • Blade Length: 25 - 1/2"
Slater's T Stake

Slater's T Stake - $59

The stake end is ground to a point to facilitate driving it into a plank. This makes the top edge a functional surface for trimming and cutting slate using a slate hammer. Slate cutters have replaced the stake, for the most part, but it is still favored by many slate craftsmen and traditionalists.
Made In USA.
