Nail Jack for easier renos

Posted by sonia in Tools & Hardware

I remember last summer’s home renovations, which required that we rip up our old carpet and underpad so we could install our beautiful new hardwood flooring. The sheer tediousness of having to pull up all those staples made me want to run from the house screaming. So when I saw the Nail Jack from Nail Jack Tools, I was pretty intrigued.

Made to dig, grip and pull, the Nail Jack makes it easy to remove old nails, staples and brads.
Its about as low-tech as you can get, but what’s interesting is the practical design, which seems to do the work of several tools, like that of a cat’s paw, pair of pliers and traditional nail puller in one.

  • Spring-loaded handles are curved and offset from the actual clamping jaws, which makes for easier prying
  • Jaws themselves have a concave design so griping a nail head is easier
  • When closed, the jaws form a sharp point, and you can use a hammer on the back end of the jaws (the “hammer tap”) to drive the sharp point beneath hard-to-grab flush nails

    • The 11″ Nail Jack retails for $30. A smaller version (the 8.5″ Nail Hunter) is also available.
