Title: Grandpa had it RIGHT
Review: I needed a puller that would minimize the damage to the surrounding wood and gave a lot of leverage. this one is GREAT. The old timers got the design right way back in the day and it still works well. I have 3 different pullers and this one is the best. If you are doing demolition work and don't need to salvage the boards then go ahead and whack away with the crow bar type pullers. If you are salvaging 100 year old oak or maple then use this puller. I also use a 1/4 inch chisel and tap around the nail head before pulling to minimize the tear out and make the puller jaw insertion easier. Very minimal damage to the wood. Try it - you'll like it. I wouldn't recommend it for general use (plaster board, ply wood, decks, etc.) but if you have the need to salvage expensive woods this one is great. I also taped on a small piece of leather on the lever so it wouldn't scratch the surface.
