Antique german nail puller restoration I Dr. Hut of Handcraft

[@fransvanloon6294]

This movie remembers me to my father who passed away 2 years ago, he was 89. When i was a kid (now 65) i used with him the same tool to remove nails from scap wood to reuse the wood. 50 years not seen it but i found it back when making his barn empty. I only cleaned it and it is still working and still use it, now only for fun.

Are the jaws are supposed to dig in? the handle has a big weight on it at the end. Place it over a fully driven in nail and slam the sliding end in to dig the Jaws into the wood so it can grab the head of the nail. Then lever off the lever attached to the jaws.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Yes that is actually how you use it, but I didn’t know it when I was testing it, because I had never seen such a tool before. Thank you for your comment!

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Heey Sock Monkey Guy! Thank you, much appreciated!

[@NolaGal2601]

I still don't understand how it works. Are you pulling the inner part to pull the nail out of the wood? If so, what's the lever at the head for?

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

You can either do that or you put it on the lever and bend it over to pull the nail out

[@georgecurtis6463]

You put the jaws on either side of the head of the nail. Then pound down using the sliding hammer. When sufficiently in you bend the whole thing sideways one the lever. This forces the jaws to grab the nail and also lift or pull the nail out. If not enough you then use a hammer. I used the japanese version in the 50s as a kid.

So what does the pulling lever do? I can't really figure that part out.

When you pull it out you have a bigger leverage

Those nail pullers are mainly for finish nails. Up to 16 penny. So you don't damage the wood around the nail

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

[@GT_Racer347]

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you so much for your support! 🙏🏼

[@JamesCarter-z7w]

They are not for pulling nails out but fencing staples out and you roll them out using the tang on the second beak of the jaws. In Australia where we have very hard wood especially when it has been holding up a fence for better than twenty years you need something strong to pull the staples out of the post. I have my Great Grandfathers set which are almost the same make made before 1890 and they are almost the same, I was using them last week on an old post which a tree branch had fallen on and it loosened the staple with ease. Hope that helps.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

De bedoeling is dat je de bekken van dat ding net over een diep liggende niet of spijker zet ,en dan met het glijdende gewicht in het hout slaat. Zodat de punten er net onder komen ,dan hem lang maken zorgen het korte handvat stevig tegen het hout staat dan aan het lange deel trekken tot de bekken goed om de spijker zitten ,nu met twee handen het lange deel over het korte handvat heen trekken !!dit creëert een goede hefboom met een verassende kracht .!

[@garymucher4082]

I realize this is an older video. However I actually have a similar nail puller like that but mine is forged steel built. Once you understand how to use it, it is an invaluable tool to remove nails that are even with, or even sunken into any type wood. I pulled hundreds of nails using such a tool. No other way to get them out without totally destroying the wood...

[@Crocophant572]

Restoration was fine, but the test was a joke. That's not how you use a nail puller at all. You use it to get out nails that are completely buried in the wood. The jaws are shaped that way so you can get them into the wood and under the head of the nail. You then use the long arm as a lever, with the short arm resting on the wood. Just like a crowbar, but you can use it on nails that you can't get hold of with a crowbar.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

I have never seen such an item before nor have I seen how it is used. I simply didn’t knew 😄

[@Crocophant572]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft OK, I guess they're not very common. I don't have one either, and have never used one. Sorry if I came over a bit crass. But they're still made by companies like Bahco and Hultafors, so you can find their versions online. If you do, you will see that the modern ones are much shorter than your old one. That's because the new ones are not meant to be used alone (as yours obviously is), but they have a bolt at the end so you can use a clawhammer to get better leverage.

[@colephares4973]

I disagree. I think a very intelligent dog made it and wrote "C.A.T" on there to throw us off its trail.

@@oneshotme okay I am sure that this will work great, but don’t you think the way I did is the original way? I mean since it’s a nail *puller* 😄 it has the appliance to pull the handle out fast and stop st the very end..

[@johntheexplainer]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft I agree with one shot that you use it like a claw hammer, with the handle extending to give more leverage. The curved foot rests against the work surface and rocking the handle back makes the jaws pinch tighter the harder you pull.
