Looking at the jaws, I think it would work better on staples(as in fencing staples).

You can see one being used in this video. (And, it's an interesting video, too.)

Never much really watched his TV show, but I LIKE this show.

Look at about 7 minutes, or so.

I will say that this tool has Pat. Sept 18, 1904 no idea when this one made. It is new to me and I have plans to leave it as is and use it this way.

HAH HAH,They work best on the old square cut nails but can pull most round nails too.The round nails are a much harder material and the jaws don't cut into them quite as well.
I use one of those several times a week.Anyone that deals with Reclaimed barn wood will get to know one of those very well or lose alot of saw blades.some of the simplist tools are amazing to work with.One of my favorites is a simple crow bar.If you find a good one you can take a whole barn down with one,it seems.Others are a drawknife and shave horse,and a well tuned hand saw.Everyone should get to know these tools better.

Eureka! (More like thank you)

Recently snatched up several abandoned 8x8x10 beams found near a wreck/rebuild site. However, a few of these behemoths are rather heavily infused with nails. I'd been trying to figure the most effective way to remove the nails with minimum damage to the wood.

This looks like just the thing and, since I seem to be having pretty fair luck happening upon such finds, I'm pretty sure it'll get plenty of use.

I am just 65 years young and I used one of those as a boy, when in in 1962 I helped my father turn our single stall garage into two stalls, by moving one wall several feet and filling in all the gaps.
