A material removing device for removing materials from a surface includes a body having a handle assembly with a recoil mechanism and a driver slidably mounted to the body. A blade with a slotted edge is removably connected to the driver. An actuator mounted to the body provides a high impact to the driver to slide the blade in the longitudinal direction under the materials to be removed and then pivot the blade upward to pry the materials from the surface. The actuator can be pneumatically powered and activated by a manual or automatic trigger. The device is designed to be used as a hand held roofing tool and exhibits light weight and easy operation.

What is claimed is: 1. A material removal device, comprising: a body having a longitudinal axis; a handle element coupled to the body; a driver slidably supported by the body generally parallel to the longitudinal axis and having a first end and a second end; a blade pivotally coupled to the first end of the driver; an actuator mounted to the body and having an impactor selectively engageable with the second end of the driver to move the driver in a single stroke with respect to the body that translates into a first high impact longitudinal stroke of the blade and a second rotatable stroke of the blade; and a controller coupled to the actuator to selectively drive the impactor. 2. The material removal device of claim 1, wherein the blade is pivotally coupled to the first end of the driver with a spring biased lever, wherein the lever has a first end connected to the blade and a second end connected to the body. 3. The material removal device of claim 2, wherein a pulley is fixedly mounted to the driver, and a cable having a fixed length is connected from the body through the pulley to the second end of the lever. 4. The material removal device of claim 3, wherein the fixed length of the cable is more than a distance measured between the second end of the lever under the pulley to the body so that a stroke of the driver first drives the blade in a longitudinal direction without engaging the lever and then causes the cable to pivot the lever and rotate the blade. 5. The material removal device of claim 1, further comprising a rotation plate having a curved surface coupled to the first end of the driver adjacent to the blade for contacting a surface on which material is to be removed. 6. The material removal device of claim 5, wherein the rotation plate is supported under the blade and the blade has a leading edge that extends past the rotation plate and is stepped down from a ledge formed in the blade to shorten a distance from the leading edge to the rotation plate. 7. The material removal device of claim 1, wherein the blade includes a plate coupled to the driver and a leading edge that is angled from the plate to extend downward toward a surface for material removal. 8. The material removal device of claim 1, wherein the blade is removably coupled to the driver. 9. The material removal device of claim 1, wherein the first end of the driver has a driver mounting formation and the blade has a blade mounting formation that mates with the driver mounting formation. 10. The material removal device of claim 9, further comprising a resilient connector coupled to the first end of the driver and the blade to removably connect the blade to the driver. 11. The material removal device of claim 1, wherein the blade has a leading edge that is slotted. 12. The material removal device of claim 11, wherein the leading edge includes a plurality of shaped teeth. 13. The material removal device of claim 11, wherein the slots are shaped to receive fastener shanks. 14. The material removal device of claim 1, wherein a housing is provided on the body that encases the impactor and the second end of the driver. 15. The material removal device of claim 1, wherein the body has a connector to a power source. 16. The material removal device of claim 15, wherein the connector is adapted to receive pressurized fluid and the body includes a hollow chamber for storage of the pressurized fluid. 17. The material removal device of claim 16, wherein the controller is in fluid communication with the body and includes a valve assembly to control fluid flow to the actuator. 18. The material removal device of claim 16, wherein the actuator is a pneumatic cylinder with a piston and the impactor is connected to the piston. 19. The material removal device of claim 16, wherein the controller includes a trigger mounted on the handle that selectively permits pressurized fluid to flow to the actuator. 20. The material removal device of claim 1, wherein the actuator is a pneumatic cylinder with a piston and the impactor is connected to the piston. 21. The material removal device of claim 1, wherein the controller includes a trigger mounted on the handle that permits manual activation of the actuator. 22. The material removal device of claim 1, wherein the controller includes an automatic trigger mounted adjacent to the driver that is engaged by the driver in response to force applied to the driver. 23. The material removal device of claim 1, further comprising a shock absorber mounted between the body and the driver to absorb force from the high impact stroke of the blade. 24. The material removal device of claim 1, wherein a spring is mounted on the driver to return the driver to a ready position after each stroke. 25. The material removal device of claim 1, wherein the handle element includes a longitudinal stem with a first handle on one end and a second handle longitudinally spaced therefrom, wherein the stem is mounted on the body along the longitudinal axis. 26. The material removal device of claim 25, wherein the stem is slidably mounted to the body and a recoil spring is supported on the stem to cushion the handle element from the high impact stroke. 27. A material removal device, comprising: an elongated body with a handle; a driver slidably mounted to the body; a blade pivotally connected to the driver; a power actuator mounted to the body that moves the driver to consecutively slide the blade and then pivot the blade with each stroke of the driver; a controller coupled to the power actuator to selectively actuate the driver, the controller connectable to a pressurized fluid source; and wherein the power actuator includes a pneumatic cylinder and a piston, the piston impacting the driver to move the driver. 28. The material removal device of claim 27 wherein the controller includes a trigger mounted on the handle that is manually activated. 29. The material removal device of claim 27 wherein the controller includes a trigger that is automatically activated based on force applied to the driver. 30. The material removal device of claim 27, wherein the handle is slidably mounted to the body with a recoil device to cushion impact of the driver. 31. The material removal device of claim 27, wherein the blade has a stepped leading edge with slotted teeth. 32.
