Which tool does the Puller use to pull material back during Dicing?

• A. Hammer
• B. Rubbish hook
• C. Crowbar
• D. Chisel

Answer: (B)

In vertical ventilation, when you’re dicing a panel to create an opening, you need a tool that can grab and move debris and roofing material away from the cut safely and from a distance. The rubbish hook is designed for that exact task: its hooked end lets you snag material and pull it back and out of the opening without placing your hands too close to the fire or over the edge. This helps keep the vent path clear, reduces the risk of material falling back into the opening, and gives you better control as you extend the cut.

The other tools are primarily for cutting, prying, or striking rather than pulling. A hammer is for impact, which isn’t ideal for pulling debris; a crowbar is good for prying but can be awkward for controlled clearing of the vent area; a chisel is for cutting or scoring, not for efficiently pulling material away.
