Easily Remove Old Nails
George VondriskaDescription
As you remodel and upgrade your camper (or your house) you’re going to run into scenarios where small nails get left behind. Nails and staples that hold molding on are a great example. When you remove the molding or trim the fastener is commonly left stuck in the wall. Nail pulling pliers are great for removing these small fasteners. You really need a pair of these in your toolbox.
As I work on this camper, one of the things I'm doing is I'm removing old trim. And in most cases what happens is the trim comes off but staples that were used to hold the trim on stay behind. And of course those gotta go away. We can't just leave those sticking out like that. So a tool like this, whether you're working on a camper or you're just a DIYer in general, is a great thing to have in your toolbox.
It's very specifically a nail or staple extractor, and it's gonna really simplify this. The way it works is that, find your fastener, right there there's a staple, grab it with the jaws and then roll it. That's what that rounded part on the tool is for, and pssh, out it comes like pulling a bad tooth. Well, easier than pulling a bad tooth. So just a really good thing to know about, it really simplifies this process of getting these old staples outta here and cleaning up that corner.
