It is extremely lightweight (obviously since it is titanium), but it is also well-designed with two pulling surfaces and excellent angles for generating leverage. As a weapon for the Zombie Apocalypse, it would be nice as a backup piece, since you wouldn't get so tired from swinging it. If I were a professional framer, I would like the light weight and ease of use, but might be overly careful of it due to its expense. As nail pullers go, this one is first rate for just about anyone but a professional framer. It also has a design element represented by the hole near the larger head that allows you to access nail heads that are flush with the wood. I would, however, want it a few inches longer. This is a big plus and works well.
Best nail puller ever made, this is my second one first one was lost in a bath demo, somehow my worker threw it in with the garbage,it stays sharp does not flatten like the steel ones and it is 10 times lighter,it is a must have for anyone in const.,thank you stilletto for making such an awesome tool.
He was very happy, and as an added perk, we can use it around the house while we wait for Z day.My only complaint is that it's a little on the small side, so you might have to get uncomfortably close to the waking dead to bring them down. When awake he's a bit more skeptical, but it's hard to not have it gnaw at the back of your mind (forgive the pun). I recently purchased a house with someone that has dreams zombies are going to take over the world. Having done the proper research on what the best anti zombie weapons, it turns out crowbars are among the best, and titanium ones even more so because they're lighter and will tire you out less. -Joseph So, I got it for my roommate for his birthday.
It took forever to get from Tool King (not Amazons fault). I was hoping for something I could pull out of my tool belt and people would say that is nice, it really is not that tool in fact I leave it home most of the time because it is not that impressive and I don't want to loose it or break it. I am a home owner and do some contract work, hence a tool goo roo. I only take it if I know I will be carrying it on my tool belt all day because it is lighter. Anyhow knowing that I ordered this. The tool is functional for the price although I already chipped a tooth and can't return it. I was expecting it to be light, it is light but not as light as you would think, I don't think the cost difference is worth the less weight.
I try to buy the best tools I can so it motivates me to work. My first impression is not that good. Anyhow seems to do the job but so does a $12 pry bar. The finish also leaves allot to be desired there where allot of deep gouges, grinding marks and mold marks.
Starting at the far end and working up to the "Stiletto" logo, tie off, and fill the last two holes (that have the knots you just tied) with high-temp glue-gun glue to hold it in place. If you can, adjust the PSI on the compressor so the nails aren't "lanced through to the 4th dimension".The Dimpler does not work on OSB very well at all, don't even try.Be careful not to strike the Dimpler nipple with the hammer wen sinking the claws in to the wood, its possible to knock a chunk off the Dimpler nipple (you have to hit it very hard, but its happened once that I know of).Remember:DO-NOT-EVER lone out you're Stiletto ClawBar.If some guy asks for it just say out loud,"Why buy it. Take the time to line up the claws so they go around the nail, and not into the nail head or shaft. Never attempt to pull out Tico Nails(joist hanger nails) that are in and against a hanger plate, this will dent the Stiletto Nail puller claws quicker than you can swear/curse.Keep a Bear Claw(call it the loner) laying around on the deck near the blueprints table just in case you need to do this.Here is a big one good for any job:Vaughan & Bushnell BC13 13-Inch Bear Claw Nail PullerDimpler: This works best for taking out Hand Nails. I will never use another Nail Puller other than the Stiletto ClawBar.I bought this Stiletto Titanium Nail Puller.I liked it allot and so did my Co-Workers, so I bought seven(7) of them at discount for $77.20 a piece (including shipping).
None of them broke and they work very well, however there are some things you should know or should do.1) Take some 3/16 thick blaze-orange/yellow/green, cord/rope, and thread the cord through the holes of the nail puller. This is so if you drop it on the snow,dirt,sand,backfill,water,mud, you will see it, and will not loose it, also helps the grip wen its raining. Nail-Gun Nails are usually launched in to deeply for the Dimpler to be effective. wen you can borrow it. and sold them to my Co-Workers for the same amount.
This will also help you see you're Stiletto Nail puller from far away wen a co-worker snags it and is up on the roof with it, and you can give him a ear full.If they take it again, introduce the mans arm to the chop saw.2) Switch to a Titanium framing hammer, One I like isVaughan 07165 16-Ounce Dalluge Titanium Hammer, 19-Inch Curved Hickory HandleUse-ing a Titanium hammer will be allot nicer to the Titanium Nail puller, I found that hitting it with a steel headed hammer dents it a bit more.Also, use-ing a smooth face Titanium hammer is even better against this Nail puller than a milled one.3) All Nail puller claws can be dented or chiped, and a Titanium one is no exception. -hah." and laugh.If they ask again, offer to sell it to them, if they refuse point to the 13 inch Bear Claw lying on the blue print table.Or you can buy the worst Nail Puller ever made for use as "The Loner" this thing will teach em to put there nails in straight the first time.Dead On EX12 12-5/8-Inch Exhumer Nail Puller/Saw Wrench/Nail Pic/ Bottle Opener Take the time to do this and it will last a long time.
