Product Information
Full details
The Edma Heavy-duty Batten Lifter is an essential tool for professional roofers and contractors looking to streamline the demolition of roofing structures. Its primary benefit is the significant mechanical advantage it provides, allowing for the rapid removal of battens with a resistance capacity of up to 1 tonne. While it excels in heavy-duty environments, users should note that its specialized design is optimized specifically for batten removal and may not be suitable for general-purpose prying tasks.

FAQs
What is the maximum resistance the tool can handle?
The Edma Batten Lifter is built to handle a resistance of up to 1 tonne.
Can I use this for removing floorboards?
While it is designed for roofing battens, its leverage capabilities may work for other tasks, but it is optimized specifically for roof batten removal.
How do I clean the tool?
Simply wipe the metal head with a rag to remove grit and clean the handle with a damp cloth if it becomes greasy.
Is the handle replaceable?
The handle is designed for durability, but if it becomes damaged, please contact professional maintenance services or consider the tool's integrity before further use.
Does this tool damage the rafters?
If used correctly by placing the leverage point over the rafter, damage is minimal. Avoid prying in areas between rafters to maintain structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Tool feels slippery during use
Clean the soft grip handle with a mild degreaser to remove dust or oil buildup that may have accumulated on the job site.
Difficulty inserting the tool under tight battens
Ensure the working surface of the lifter is clear of debris; if the gap is too tight, use a hammer to lightly tap the wedge of the tool into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required; the tool is ready for use immediately out of the box. It is compatible with most standard wooden roofing battens found in residential and commercial construction. To maintain the tool's longevity, wipe the metal head clean of debris, dirt, and construction adhesives after each use. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the metal components. Periodically check the soft grip handle for signs of wear or cracking to ensure the user retains a secure, slip-free grip during operation.
