MPN: 25534

Barcode: 5028734255348

Size: 250mm (10")

Weight: 0.35kg

Overview:

The Blue Spot Tools nail puller with hammer head is made from heat treated carbon steel with a blackened phosphate coating. This finish resists corrosion and protects the tool in damp or outdoor conditions.

Two nail pullers sit at either end of the bar. Each end grips nails and fixings for clean, controlled extraction. The bar also works for prying apart boards and lifting sheet materials.

A built-in hammer head adds a second function without needing a separate tool. Use it to strike and loosen stubborn fixings before pulling them free. At 250mm (10") overall, the bar suits most nail-pulling jobs on site or in the workshop.

• Position the jaw: Place the notched end firmly under or around the nail head.

• Apply leverage: Press down on the bar to lever the nail free from the material.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the difference between a nail puller bar and a cat's paw?
  A nail puller bar uses notched ends to lever out nails with exposed or partially raised heads. A cat's paw has a sharpened claw designed to dig into wood around flush or sunken nail heads. They work best at different stages of the same job.

• How do I avoid damaging timber when removing nails?
  Place a small offcut of wood under the bar before levering. This spreads the load across a wider area and protects the surface from indentation or bruising.

• What types of nails can a bar-type nail puller remove?
  Bar-type pullers work best on nails with exposed or partially exposed heads, including round wire nails, oval nails, and larger framing nails. Very fine pins or headless brads generally need specialist plier-type extractors.

• What is a blackened phosphate coating on steel tools?
  Blackened phosphate is a chemical conversion coating applied to steel. It creates a layer that holds oil and resists surface corrosion, giving tools a dark finish while reducing the risk of rust in storage and use.

• Can a nail puller bar be used for prying tasks as well?
  Yes. The flat profile suits light to medium prying tasks such as separating boards and lifting sheet materials. For heavier demolition work, a longer wrecking bar provides greater leverage.
