Dead OnTools EX9CL 10-5/8-Inch Exhumer Nail Puller, Silver

I'm redoing my house's deck this summer and started by removing all the old boards with an 8-inch pry bar. These boards were nailed down, and the work was slow-going -- I spent several hours, over a couple weekends, toiling away, and until today still was only halfway done. The entire deck had hundreds of nails, and removing each one could take up to a minute or two.I was eager to move on to the construction phase, so a few days ago I looked for a tool that could pull out the nails faster. This Dead On Exhumer Nail Puller had excellent reviews, so I figured it was worth a try. What a difference! I powered through all the remaining nails this afternoon and even had time to mow my yard. This tool easily gripped each nail and provided excellent leverage; I could pound the tool into place with only 3 hits from a hammer and in most cases pull the nail free with only the tool itself. (In other cases, I loosened the nail with the tool and pulled it free the rest of the way with the back end of my hammer.) I was able to increase my speed and remove 3 to 4 nails a minute, blazing past my previous pace, and even started to enjoy the work.This tool isn't designed for more delicate projects, and I'll keep using my 8-inch Stanley pry bar for that. But if it definitely helped me out with my demolition duties. I was reminded of how the cast of "This Old House" always says the right tool can make a job much easier. I have some other demo projects planned on a rental house I own and now am looking forward to taking along this tool.

Great for pulling nails

This nail puller is consistently the best in the industry. I had one 20 years ago and they have not changed the style or performance. The angled design and slim head allow you to "exume" any nail whether superficial or buried with minimal material damage. Will buy again in another 20 years if need be.

I have had one in the past years working and loved it for it's sturdiness and versatility.I use this almost every day in my line of work as a carpenter. It's a great tool to have in ones nail bags.

Little soft but i like it. Been using for few months now.

I had a need for a smaller prybar than my trusty old wonderbar so I thought I'd give this tool a try. I already own a Dead On wrecking hammer so this seemed a natural. Let me tell you this tool is great! From removing nails that are buried up in 2x's to removing trim, this does it all. Try one out, you won't be sorry!

It's a hunk of metal with useful angles, it's what you want in a nail puller/cats paw.

The longer I use this, the more I appreciate the design. I've used this for a year now, on a big, ongoing project in an old house, pulling probably 300 nails in various awkward, tight spots. Both claw ends are shaped to get a good grip on the nail head, and to give good leverage.This shines in tight spots. It's one thing to make a nail puller work in the lab. It's quite another to make one that just works in real old-construction settings. The square end directs hammer blows to the claw ends to get a bite on nails driven flush or even deeper into the board. Pivot points give good leverage.Superb design.

Backup tools

Seems good quality so far

use it for formwork holds up

Strong, works great for pulling stubborn nails from reclaimed pallet wood. Also does a good job digging out staples from the same. Making an extension handle from a bit of scrap steel tubing means even the most stuck nails can be pulled and doesn't show any signs of bending the tool yet.
