Customer Reviews & Comments
I had 18 Hardened Masonry Cut Nails 16D, which were holding a 2x4" framing onto my garage's concrete floor. The nail holes into the concrete were predrilled, then the nails were hammered to a depth of 3/4" to 1" into the concrete. The framing was the foundation for a 3/4" plywood, emergency, hurricane garage enclosure (I live in Florida), that went through three hurricanes in 2004. Now I had to remove it, and wanted to save the framing intact. HOWEVER, I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO EXTRACT THE HARDENED CUT NAILS. I used a Stanley 36" FatMax Wrecking Bar on one nail, and the first nail chewed up the edge of the claw, and the bar didn't even budge the nail. Apparently, the FatMax is not hardened/forged/alloy to handle hardened masonry cut nails. I had hammers that had also dented. However, I had a 30 year old all steel Estwing hammer that did not dent, so, I thought I had hope for a nail puller that would not break. I wrote to Estwing, asking them for a recommendation for a bar of their manufacture that could do the job, and they replied as follows: "Estwing has nothing that would give different results in terms of hardness to remove your cement nails. The Rockwell hardness readings on the cement nails are greater than anything we have to deal with them. We would think you need to cut the nails out with a carbide saw, etc. or approach the problem from a different way. I am sorry we could not be more help to you." I contacted Fulton Corporation, the manufacturer of Fulton TW36WB 36" Long Wrecker Pry Bar, with the same question, and they responded more positively, as follows: "I don't know what will happen, for certain, if you try to pull out your nails with our Wrecker Bar. I will tell you this, however. The only claim we have ever denied was in the case of a user who admitted the bar broke when he put a 10" long "persuader pipe" on the end of it and tried to move an extremely heavy object. If you buy one of our 48" Wrecker bars and use it for your nails, without additional "persuasion" attachments and you are unhappy with its condition when you are done (i.e. the nail claw chips), take it back to your dealer and have him replace it for you." That said, I bought the TW36WB 36" Long Wrecker Pry Bar (because I had restricted room to work, and the 48" might be too long). THE RESULTS: I received the TW36WB today from Amazon.com, and I put it into action immediately, the results: The nail claw, on the greater angled side of rocker head, pulled out the cut nails with some effort, however, much less effort than the less angled side (Fuller's ad says "Rocker head for more power" and great leverage". I say, that's true!). I have to say that all things considered, it worked great on the more angled side (more leveraged side), however, I was only able to reach five of the 18 nails that I needed to extract with that more leveraged side. Of the remaining 13 nails, which I had to pull out with the less angled side, about nine came out with some more effort. The other four, were HELL to pull out, mainly because by then the claw had bent some at the point of contact with the nails. It became difficult to get a good hold onto the cut nails from there on (for the last four nails), since cut nails barely have much of a head to grab anyway. There wasn't much room to hammer the cut nails back and forth to help lessen their hold, however, that's what I had to do to be able to finish the job with the wrecker bar, since there was not as good claw left by then. BOTTOM LINE: It did the job, but the claws were damaged in the process. The claws won't work anymore for the job I used them (cut nails with little head), however, the claws will work fine with common wire nails. I think that the damage to the wrecker bar claws would have been negligible, had I had more room to use only the more leveraged side. A TOUGH JOB! I don't think there's another bar that could have done the job as well as Fulton TW36WB 36" Long Wrecker Pry Bar, mainly because of the greater leverage of the rocker head, the dual claws, the alloy and girth of the steel, and it's Made in the USA (I don't buy products made in China). The bar saved me from a lot of labor! ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS: The hardened cut nails were only embedded a little under one inch, amazing the hold they have! Hardened nails are harder than the claws (and they'll make the forged steel of the claws look like soft metal. The Fulton TW36WB claws tackled the job about as well as it's going to get.), so, DON'T USE HARDENED CUT NAILS IF YOU INTEND TO EXTRACT THEM!!!!!!
