Crescent 11" Nail Puller Pliers - NP11,Red/Black

I do a lot of home repair and furniture building and I've never found a nail puller that works this well. This is truly a remarkable product. I've used all manner of nail pulling devices over the last few decades and nothing rivals these pliers. Pro: Pulls 18 gauge trim nails from standard 3/4 inch red oak with ease. I've had issues with 5/4 oak (1 inch thick) - more on that below. If you can get a grip on the nail with the jaws, these pliers will pull the nail 98% of the time. Far better than using diagonal cutters or pry bars because cutters cut small finish nails and pry bars slip Well build, very solid, great grip Lots of leverage - will pull 18 gauge finish pin nails or 16 penny framing nails. Great for pulling nails from the back of trim work - preserves the lumber/trim for future use Remarkably inexpensive Con These pullers are bailed me out dozens of times when my Makita 18 gauge finish nailer misfires and the only time I've ever had an issue was with 5/4 red oak (5/4 wood is a full 1 inch thick). The 18 gauge pin nails just snap. But that's a rare occasion because I only use 5/4 hardwood lumber for unique applications. Otherwise, these plier/pullers work as advertised. Great product - can't go wrong with these in your box.

I have a LOT of tools. If I need a tool for a project I do some research and buy it. I hadn't used one of these before but it looked like a good design, and I own quite a few Crescent tools. All I can say is this is the best tool over for pulling nails. I've used it for demo work, remodeling, tearing apart pallets for disposal, and it just keeps working and working. It's very quick to use and I haven't met a nail yet I couldn't pull with this thing. If you're going to be pulling nails for a project do yourself a favor and just buy it! Wish I'd found it a few decades earlier.

Great for pulling staples or finish nails. Zero effort required.

I bought a new stereo system, and set it up in my LR. It is wall-to-wall carpeting, with cove molding baseboard around it. It was too tight to try to pry the carpet away from under the baseboard to jam the speaker wire under it, , and that could have ruined and scrached the baseboard with whatever mini-pry tool I used. After removing the 4 10-ft pieces, I planned to re-use them, but at 1/8 inch higher, as a channel for the speaker wire. I knew I could slowly pry the baseboard away from the wall by jamming a very flat chisel or knife between it and the wall, slowly twisting/prying it all along, a few inches at a time. The problem was how to the get the 2 1/2 inch bent finishing nails out, without scuffing and scratching the smooth face of the baseboard by using a small pry bar etc., with tape or fabric against the front of it so it wouldn't scratch. Well, I found this modified pliers tool, where one uses the pliers to hold the bent nail near the bottom that is sticking out the BACK of the baseboard, and then push it downward, using the "roll bar" , built into the pliers. One tight, slow push down on the pliers, while squeezing the nail, and VOILA! the intact bent nail came through the INSIDE face of the baseboard! So, no worries about scratching the baseboard, and by probing the area, it was easy to find the exact hole that was already there. That hole may not exactly match up with the one in the sheetrock, but that should not be a big problem. A couple of tips: ---This will only work with finishing nails, or brads. ---The new nail you'll use often fits into that hole without being loose. If it is a little loose, just go up to the next thickness. That will keep it tight, and not be such a difference it might cause a hairline, or larger, crack. ---Before clamping the pliers on the bent nail, bend the nail a little in the same direction the pliers will be pulling it out, just push with a finger if its a longish nail, or tap it with a hammer if it's a short nail .This makes it a lot easier to keep the ppliers tight as you squeeze it, and then pull the nail out. ---The pictures on Amazon help, but there is a short youtube video not on Amazon, under "Apex Tool Group" "Crescent Nail Puller Video". Enjoy!

Years ago I bought a nail-pulling tool called The Extractor (the yellow one). When it recently went missing, I tried to get another one, but it apparently has been discontinued. I found two similar tools on Amazon and ordered this one (the red one) partly because of the Crescent brand. I used it today to pull some nails and staples through some baseboards that I wanted to reuse. It did the job, but in the dim light, I would occasionally miss getting a grip on the nail, because sometimes I stuck the nail through the slot in the middle instead of into the pliers grip. My original tool was easier to use--especially in dim light-- because it had only one slot. I'll keep using the new tool, but if the old one turns up, I will definitely go back.

I ordered this one after taking delivery of another one, which I returned, as it was poorly made. This one the teeth on the gripper was really cut great, The half roll on the top was smooth and level all the way across the surface. I would buy this again.

I bought these to use in tearing down an old house. The house was full of old ship-lap lumber in the walls, teardrop wood siding, tongue and groove ceilings and floors, etc. that I am using in my house remodel. What isn't used will be sold for reclaimed wood to other folks with similar projects. This kind of aged lumber is valuable, but anyone that's ever gutted an old house knows how difficult it can be to get the wood out without tearing it all to pieces. A cats paw-type pry bar and framing hammer is what I was using at first. That leaves gouges in the wood, is more likely to chip out, and is not very fast. With these specialty pliers I can pull down a board and have all of the nails out in a couple of minutes, with much less damage to the wood than with any other tool I've tried. They just work. If any part of the nail is sticking out 1/16" of an inch or so, it's coming out. It does a much better job and can get to nails that a framing hammer or even a thin pry bar can't. And it doesn't mar the wood nearly as much either. You still have some tear-out around some of the nail holes, but that is to be expected with nails and wood that have been in place for 80+ years. It's less tear-out than with the other tools I was using. These pliers paid for themselves in the first 10 minutes in just the lumber saved and cut the time in half of pulling and de-nailing a board.

I’ve been remodeling my new home; replacing carpet with vinyl plank flooring and changing out trim and baseboards. This tool has been a very helpful piece of kit in removing staples and nails from the floors and walls. I’ve especially enjoyed using it when removing small trimmings from the vinyl plank flooring. It’s properly sized for large or small hands, it is easy to handle one-handed, and I have found no problems with quality.

Muito bom. Resistente. Consegue retirar pregos grandes enterrados na madeira e sem cabeça.

ممتازة جدا لفك المسامير والدبابيس 👍🏻

Works great for removing all nail sizes from the hardest of Australian hardwood timbers on old house renovations. I ground and smoothed up the heal for lower timber damage on finished floors, but I'm not sure it was needed as I run a protection packer if the timber finish is to be preserved.

Absolutely brilliant tool for removing nail and even screws. Well worth the price and wait as shipped from the USA. Nothing else like it available here in the UK for some reason! Im recycling old timber and did a lot of research to find the ultimate tool and this is it....simple and bullet proof build. One thing I like is that when you pull a nail it doesn't shoot out and disappear it stays gripped between the jaws for easy disposal. Expect them to last a lifetime!!

Indispensable quand on a besoin de retirer un clou, pas adapté aux clous de charpente cependant
