The patented design allows the Extractor to create a grip that absolutely will not slip or shear. The revolutionary design always keeps the minimum gripping force required to prevent slippage, allowing this tool to have a grip so gentle, it can pull tiny pin-nails and staples, even fabric. When the tool’s jaws sense a micro-amount of slippage occurring, the jaws automatically increase the gripping force. In other words “the tool is always almost ready to slip off the object but will never slip off”. This unique ability takes place without squeezing the handles, only requiring the user to keep both jaws touching the object until resistance is encountered, after that The Extractor is as good as welded on, only releasing when the user stops prying. This auto-locking ability is so unyielding, that an extension pipe can be used on the upper handle to create thousands of pounds of lifting force.

The Extractor was invented in Charleston, SC to aid in the restoration and renovation of historic homes in the area, The importance of reuse and recycling of the old lumber and moldings in this business cannot be overstated in preserving the original architecture and value of these antiquities. A tool was needed that could remove fasteners without bending or cutting the exposed material during removal, especially when dealing with brittle antique nails. During a renovation project the amount of fastener removal that is required can be extensive and time-consuming. Whether pulling finish nails on-through molding so that the trim can be reused or just trying to remove a headed nail that has seen better days, frequently a fastener must be gripped and pulled. Using traditional pliers, front-end nippers, and other grippers usually results in the snapping and sheering of the nails. The nail extractor, with it’s parallel, self gripping jaws remedy these issues allowing a job that would have taken a considerable amount of time to be completed in a fraction of the time with better results.

The tool allows for easy, single-handed operation, using jaws that exert increasing gripping pressure in proportion to the resistance encountered during extraction. The result is; once the tool makes contact to the object, only a prying action on the upper handle is necessary; the handles no longer need to be squeezed. This auto-gripping ability is so unyielding that an extension pipe can be slipped over the upper handle to amplify the leverage allowing for the removal of fasteners previously considered irremovable . The jaws stay parallel, allowing even gripping pressure to be applied to the object virtually eliminating the risk of shearing. The parallel jaws also mean, no matter where the fastener is positioned between the jaws, a grip will be created, with other gripping devices there is only a small area where the jaws actually make contact and a grip is produced. Induction hardened teeth gently cuts small gripping ridges into fasteners that do not have a head present, creating a slip free grip. The heel of this nail puller in its relationship to the length of the handle creates an incredible pulling force with minimal effort to the user, more than sufficient to extract the largest nails through some of the hardest woods. These three features mean, all the user has to do is position the object between the jaws, squeeze gently and pry, the tool takes care of the rest.

With all other extracting devices, there's a lot of hit and miss, with varying degrees of skill and power being required. Because of the features and design, this puller has a nearly perfect success rate with no experience needed by the operator. Anyone can use this tool, effectively and easily. The home- owner as well as experienced tradesmen would greatly benefit from this tool. This extracting tool is an simple, effective and affordable solution to this age-old problem.

The entire process of nail pulling in the entire demographic encompasses everything from the Trade to the housewife, from a simple badly pounded nail to demolition, to the whole reclamation of lumber old or new. The act of pulling a simple nail, staple or brad can range from one nail in a two by four that you'd like to re-use to build your son's first soap box derby car all the way to clearing ancient hardwoods of hundreds of rusted fasteners to re plane them for a mansion's historic floor. The reason we bring this broad set of applications to your attention is this; a typical cat's paw is a great tool for digging a nail. It is static, it is only useful with a hammer, it has a single purpose. The Nail Jack not only replaces the need for a cat's paw, it fulfills the requirements of a tool that has never existed. The Nail Jack allows you to grip any nail, staple or brad in whatever state it is currently in! Without a hammer, it has hundreds of applications without batteries, air compressors or electricity. It grabs. It grips. It squeezes. The nail could be exposed by an eighth of an inch or three inches. Perhaps the staple has one "leg" completely out of the wood. Brads have been air gunned completely through the baseboard. There are three different kinds of fasteners in a cherished piece of wood, from an 18 gauge brad to a 14d clipped head nail to a romex staple. Only a tool that can GRIP these fasteners will simply and effectively remove them in any of these scenarios. There IS NO tool designed for this purpose. This is not a better tool, it is the ONLY tool. How often does a new hand tool arrive on the market to efficiently solve a one hundred year old problem? Imagine a world where the only mouse trap that exists is to sneak up and grab them by the tail!
