Customer Review: Great puller!

Once you get the hang of this puller, it's quick and easy! Does take some wood out but that can't be avoided. And Amazon has the best price for this tool...Customer Review: Here's the REAL skinny...

Reviews on this item are a bit exaggerated I think. It's a good idea, but let me warn you, it's not for a situation where you have a fully sunk nail and want to save the board. The hammer slide will sink the jaws nicely around the nail and eventually you'll get them under the head well enough to grab it and lever it out, but it's going to leave a big hole. I guess you can still re-use the board if you're going to paint it, simply by filling the damage.
Do be careful using the sliding hammer though, I got too enthusiastic and didn't have my hand in the right place, ended up with a blood blister of enormous size even though I was wearing leather gloves... a real pincher!
Before spending $40 on this item, you might think about what it's actually doing for you, because the best part of this tool is that it squeezes it's grip on the nail as you leverage it out. You can do pretty much the same thing with a large pair of channelock pliers, but of course those won't hammer themselves in to grab the nail below the surface.
I did find this to be a great tool for removing rotted siding because it would sink past the head of the nail in a single slam, making big nails easy to pull because when you extend it, you have a lot more leverage than with any hammer.
Plus this dude will never wear out and probably won't break unless you drop it from the roof onto concrete.
$40 is a lot for a nail puller. There are other little wedge-type pullers that cost a lot less and you can knock them under the nail head with a hammer, causing less damage to the board. Your choice of course. I have it and I'm not sorry I bought it, but... well you know.
Customer Review: Deck nails
Summary: 5 Stars
Couldn't believe how easy it was to remove the nails which had become embedded in my 15 year old deck. It would have taken days with a traditional crowbar but we finished removing the nails in a couple of hours. My brother was so impressed, he is going to buy one.Customer Review: Cooper Nail Puller
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this nail puller for a project where I took up old boards from my deck, but wanted to reuse them for something else. This nail puller was the only tool I could find to do the job and it worked great with minimal damage to the old boards. As far as I'm concerned, I couldn't have done the project without the nail puller and would have to have destroyed the boards to get them up.Customer Review: This is absolutely awesome!

This is a truly an amazing tool. The amount of time you will save in using this tool in crazy. I am removing a plywood subfloor placed ontop of an existing hardwood floor. The plywood was nailed all over the place and all of the nails were sunk deep into the plywood. Up until I got this tool I was chipping away the plywood to try and get at the nail heads. Now I just set the tool, slam the handle down and dig it out. After a little practice you will be cranking along and using the tool like a pro. Highly recommended.
