ESTWING Pro Claw Nail Puller - 14" Pry Bar with Forged Steel Construction & No-Slip Cushion Grip - PC360G

This is an awesome little tool to have in my pack when I enter a customer's home. I use it as a prybar to start the removal of moulding/trim, and use it to quickly remove small nails. The compact size and padded handle keep it handy and easy to use.

Small, but plenty of leverage. Both ends are well shaped (sharp) to get under nail heads easily with minimal damage...but also hold up well!

Pretty great tool

Pictures for the 9 inch version are inaccurate. The pry bars with the stamped bull are made in Japan, picture for product shows that but real life does not... 14 inch version as expected. 9 inch is made in taiwan and still seems like a good tool so will be keeping it, but not quite as advertised

Quick shipping great product

Good size, good quality

Sometimes I like to do bc a certain amount of demolition as it relaxes me and just recently I used this tool to help pull up some sub flooring boards with lots of nails. In the past I used a smaller Stanley tool which was great for exposing the nail head but had no leverage as it was only about eight inches long. The length of this Estwing model works really well in terms of leverage. Both ends have quite a shallow head so it is easy to pry up nails. I use a 24 ounce hammer and two hits and the nail head is praised up enough to lever the nail out without needing the claw on the hammer. I wish I had bought it before to save a lot of time and hassle.The grip on the handle does provide a little cushioning but I always use gloves and tend to hold the pry bar further up from the grip so it doesn't help me very much.If I could buy one a couple of inches longer that would be a useful improvement for me to make it easier to lever stubborn nails out but it isn't a deal breaker especially as it is difficult to find any longer ones in this style in any case. Mine has has hundreds of hits but other than a little scratching it is holding up well. I don't think that the striking head is as hard as my Stanley but it is fine without too much mushrooming as yet.I have used it for levering up carpet tack strips and as the long end has a shallow angled head it is fairly easy to use for this purpose but a shovel with a square shape is actually a lot, lot easier to remove tack strips and staples from plywood or pressed board.Eating makes great products and this is a fine example.

It's was just what I was wanting and it's going to match my out fit I'm putting together.
