The entire process of nail pulling in the entire demographic encompasses everything from the Trade to the housewife, from a simple badly pounded nail to demolition, to the whole reclamation of lumber old or new. The act of pulling a simple nail, staple or brad can range from one nail in a two by four that you'd like to re-use to build your son's first soap box derby car all the way to clearing ancient hardwoods of hundreds of rusted fasteners to re plane them for a mansion's historic floor. The reason I bring this broad set of applications to your attention is this; a typical cat's paw is a great tool for digging a nail. It is static, it is only useful with a hammer, it has a single purpose. The Nail Jack not only replaces the need for a cat's paw, it fulfills the requirements of a tool that has never existed. The Nail Jack allows you to grip any nail, staple or brad in whatever state it is currently in! Without a hammer, it has hundreds of applications without batteries, air compressors or electricity. It grabs. It grips. It squeezes. The nail could be exposed by an eighth of an inch or three inches. Perhaps the staple has one "leg" completely out of the wood. Brads have been air gunned completely through the baseboard. There are three different kinds of fasteners in a cherished piece of wood, from an 18 gauge brad to a 14d clipped head nail to a romex staple. Only a tool that can GRIP these fasteners will simply and effectively remove them in any of these scenarios. There IS NO tool designed for this purpose. This is not a better tool, it is the ONLY tool. How often does a new hand tool arrive on the market to efficiently solve a one hundred year old problem? Imagine a world where the only mouse trap that exists is to sneak up and grab them by the tail!
