nail puller for larger nails

[BTL-A4]

I got the pneumatic denailer and it worked really well. Wear safety glasses and keep everyone out of the way because a few of the nails ricochet off the bottom of the trash can into the garage.

I used the sliding nail puller to get the nails with broken heads out; worked really well. I used a steady, firm pull to get most of them out. It's long enough that it has enough leverage. Some of the nails were 4" long, but it got them out just fine.

I need something that digs in and grips the heads of nails that have been sheared off flush. I used a chisel to dig around the head, then bigger wire cutters to pull the shaft up and out. That works on the smaller nails best. I'll have to take a look at a tool like the one referenced above (thanks, @Dig Doug ) and see if it looks like it will dig into the wood a bit. I have 100's of nails to remove. I can do a few at a time, though.

I bought some of these
good tool to have

First, it you want a nail that won't come out, hot dipped galvanized, ardox, twist !

I had a quantity that had to be removed. I used a FULL SIZED CROWBAR ! Sometimes the head would rip off. Vice Grips ! A small block of wood under the crowbar would add leverage.

I had quite a few nails heads come off. The claw hammer took care of most of them. Anything that didn't get, the slider got.
