Electric nail/pin puller

[mudfud]

Great idea! I will have to make one when I need it.

Mudfud, the bridgeport 56 is something that really comes in handy. I have used one many times. It is for when you need to get the nail head above the surface of the wood. The sliding part of the shaft hammers the two claws below the surface to grab the nail head. Used mainly for framing nails. It will sometimes pull the nail all the way out but mostly just enough to get at the head with the claw hammer.
If you ever need to use it for it's intended purpose watch the hand placement!

hey lazarus,

I just won a bridgeport 56 on ebay for $20 shipped. I plan to modify it, of course, for pachinko nails. more to come. I think I'll buy a second one, too, for actual demolition work, I have a pantry remodel coming this year.

I agree that the rabbit looking corkscrew would be good. I had one made by crate and barrel that had a plastic know that rotated and the corkscrew went the other direction. it just might not be strong enough for chinko nails.

I have been scouring the kitchen, too, and the wife keeps catching me... step away from my scraper, that is a kitchen tool, not a construction tool... I ruined her good scissors with epoxy grout... I have to get her a new pair, as I keep hearing about it...
