nail pullers

Fastener extraction devices

Nail pullers are tools designed to extract nails from wood or other materials.

The basic type is a flat metal bar with a curved, forked end that slides under the nail head for leverage.

Specialized versions include cat's paws for removing deeply embedded nails and pliers-style pullers that grip the nail shaft.

I keep a nail puller in my toolbox for demolition work.
