Bates Nail Puller - Cat's Paw Nail Puller & Remover, End Cutting Pliers, Staple Puller, Carpenter's Tool

These "nail puller/end cutters" are nicely made. The rubber handles are fit well to the tool. They are solid and the jaws are well machined. They meet well with no offset and the hinge is smooth with no binding. The casting is clean without pock marks or bumps.They work well for pulling nails if the nail head is "proud" of the wood. They are not going to reach down into the wood for the nail head without doing a fair amount of damage to the surface of the wood, but, if you can get a grip on the head of the nail, these will allow you to make short work of pulling a common nail.The cutting edge is sharp for an inexpensive tool. It easily cuts wire and thin material and holds its edge. I do believe it would take the grip of a gorilla to cut off a framing nail, but, I believe it could be done. I would not want it to cut through a nail too easily. That would make it very difficult to use as a puller.At this price point it is a good value. Is it a precision tool valued at $50+? No. But, at the current price of $10.85, it is a versatile tool well worth a place in my toolbox.

Very solidly build. Good tool.

Gets at hard-to-reach nails. After Hurricane Helen hit us and wiped out my pole barn, I needed something to help get nails out, as all were not screws. So this helped tremendously.

Well made, easy to handle. Very sharp. Great tool

FAR more useful than I thought it might be! It’s effective with just 1.5mm of a finishing nail exposed. I wish I had bought this sooner. Paired with a small wrecking bar, there’s nothing it cannot do! It can cam out any one inch nail.

Excellent product, works great!

This would’ve saved me so much strength pulling out badly bent nails and screws! Huge time and arm saver for removing baseboards.

Good tool but if you plan on snipping and more than a finish nail I would suggest something with a longer handle for more leverage. I used them to snip the ends of roofing nails that were protruding through the roof in my chicken coop and it was a little difficult due to the short handle.But I did manage to do what I set out to do.
