04250 10" DA Bar Nail Puller by Vaughan & Bushnell

This thing was awesome. So much nicer than a cheap pry bar. It fits nicely in tool belt and isn’t heavy. Buy additional ones as gifts.

it's a nail claw, and it does the job just fine. having used the vast majority of the brands out there I can say this one is equivalent and maybe slightly better. no reason you should be unhappy with it.sidenote: the handle is pretty skinny, so if you have small hands you may like this more than the others out there.

This was a gift for my nephew..he requested it and was really excited to get it!!!

Very nice!

Got this for bf for concrete carpentry. He said it’s good quality and size. Only down fall is the cat paw is not big enough to grip larger nails like 16’s. But that’s nothing a grinder can’t fix

It’s a solid catspaw, but the one I got is not dalluge. Still dig it, just a dalluge fan and probably wouldn’t have bought it if I’d known it’d be a spin off.

Of the three pullers I like the Dalluge the best. I bought the Crescent and Dalluge pullers, and looked at the Stanley. All three pullers look similar, but here are the differences. The Stanley is from China, Crescent is from Taiwan, and Dalluge is from Japan. The Stanley is painted black. The Crescent is painted red. The Dalluge is chrome plated. What looks like chrome on the Stanley and Crescent is not chrome. It is bare metal, so keep it oiled so it does not rust. The Stanley and Crescent look the same, so decide on price and where it was made if you pick one of them. Also, the paint comes off where it scrapes against nails. Not a big surprise if you think about it. The names are painted on the metal. I do not like the nail pullers with the tight "V" shapes. The idea is not to bend the head, but rather to slip under the head, and pull out the nail. These three pullers don't have the extreme "V" shapes. All the other pullers I checked out do have the extreme "V" shapes. The Stanley and Crescent tips are ground down to a sharp point, and you could use them as a chisel. I have to resharpen my chisels all the time, so I do not recommend using a nail puller as a chisel. You will mutilate the ends of the nail pullers. The Dalluge is not sharp. It is about 1/32" thick at the points, so it is not a chisel. It can pull a little bit bigger nail on the long side, and both sides have a bigger and more spoon shaped design than the Stanley and Crescent designs. The Dalluge name is stamped into the metal. The chrome looks like it is thick and well attached, but only time will tell. To remove a small nail I personally use a rubber or rawhide mallet to not destroy my tools, a chisel to get under the nail if the tack remover won't get under it on the first try, a tack remover to lift up the nail a little bit, and then the nail puller to take the nail out of the wood. You should also have several flat bar nail removers in your tool kit . On my 5" flat bar I cut a bigger "V" notch out with a Dremel tool. Now, it is a lot more useful to me.

like the slimness, does go through alot of abuse, last alot long than other nail pullers ive used in the past, note avoid using on steel pins in concrete, and cut nail removeal. very well made steel.
