I just saw and ad, never heard of one before. I've been lookingfor something that'll do what they claim this will do. But at $25 US apop, it's a bit pricey for me to jus buy one for experimenting with.So, if anyone here has used one of these I'd like to hear their thoughtson it. Even then, if most people claim it works may just wind upwelding an arc on one side of a vise-grip jaw, that would probably workclose enough for what I want, and cost me less then $10, max.JOATWhat is life without challenge and a constant stream of newhumiliations?- Peter Egan

(J T) wrote on 22 May 2007 in group rec.woodworking:If you turn your slip-joint pliers around, you'll find that the profile on the outside of the jaws almost exactly matches the nice arc on that tool.The only downside is that the slip-joint pliers will bend the nail some before they start pulling, so hard nails sometimes break off. I also get a little marking in the wood, avoided by putting a putty knife underneath. I bet the purpose-built tool does that too, though.

They pop up on eBay periodically, and usually sell for far less. And, no, I won't lend you "far less" either. :)~

Geez, I like to think I'm frugal myself, but for crying out loud, break down and buy yourself a box of _new_ nails.
