I lost my nail puller that was 50 years old and this is an exact replica.
Also works slick for prying out the old metal window frames while doing replacement windows.
This was either due to poor manufacturing or improper use. I used this to pull about 500 nails while re-doing my deck. It is easy to use: 1) Place fixed curved tooth next to nail and hold tool at about a 30 degree angle.2) Strike with hammer while pulling tool to vertical. Perhaps it is not designed to be struck with a hammer.It did the job, but it wouldn't last for two decks of nails. Teeth close under nail head.3) Extend handle for leverage and pull nail out.Two problems:1) No instructions (might be like asking for instructions on a hammer but it wasn't obvious to me).2) Top of tool (where I struck with hammer) disintegrated as the project progressed.
If you have to pull out a lot of nails without destroying the wood, this is the tool you need. I've used this tool for over 30 years. They haven't changed it a bit. A great tool to remove plywood or osb sheeting. New ones are made in Taiwan, though.
I purchased the nail/staple remover in order to remove staples attached to wooden posts holding up field fencing. I purched a bolt cutter for less money and cut the staple into and then twisted it so as to expose the wire and remove it. The remover is just to lite weight to work effective.
