Ransomes256 Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Looks like an old version of a fencing wire cutter where you use the fence post to lever against. I am sure someone will be along later with another idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony_C Posted March 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Thanks Chaps, I can see the nail puller idea Pete.... I didn’t mention it has hammer type action, did you all spot that from photo? Same idea as below (hub puller?) next to each other amongst some wonderful old tools..

Are you sure you don’t mean nail “Clipper” For tall people with short arms so they don’t have to bend too far to cut their toe nails. Charlie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ransomes256 Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 Are the jaws a clamping face or cutting edge. Do the jaws move with the top arm or with the slide hammer part or both? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do the jaws move with the top arm or with the slide hammer part or both? Jaws are clamping rather than cutting I would say and jaws move with the top arm only. Reckon all the clever Chaps who say nail puller are on the mark... But, without trying it, why something so ‘sophisticated’ compared to claw hammer and or crowbar?

Pete I am sure that you are correct. But you need to identify the nails to make it clear to all the others on this thread. The nails in question are cut nails which are driven below the surface of the flooring. There is no regular head but the top is made so that there is a reduced width leaving the edge with a ridge which is where the two teeth on the tools locate and the lever can be pushed using the hook part against the floor and the nails come out easily. It does help if you are saving the floor boards to replace them, while the plumbing is repaired. Richard & B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillp Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 They work well with round and oval nails used in packing cases as well as pallets Richard. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
