I find myself using this little tool all the time. It fits easily in my tool bucket and it is quite solid and sturdy. Great lever action and will rip up even the nails with the little heads on them. I also carry a flat bar, which is another indespensable tool, but this thing is nice to have due to the cat's paw digging action you can achieve to get out those embedded nails. If the nail is long, I find myself putting a piece of wood under the tool for additional prying action. All in all a great tool that will last and you can rely on.
