I found this awhile back and thought would share it with you. Not sure if it has been posted before or not. It is called the nail kicker. Uses air instead of a hammer to rid boards of nails. Caution! This thing is not cheap and I think only those who are diehards into reclaiming lumber would benefit from this on a cost basis. Who knows some lumberjock may figure out a way to make one cheaper… here is the website…http://nailkicker.com/joomla/ -- Your freedom to be you, includes my freedom to be free from you. |

I thought about getting one of those at one time, after seeing it on “Cool Tools”, but the wife brought me to my senses when she told me it would severely cut into my beer budget for at least a year. -- Improvise.... Adapt...... Overcome! |

I don’t know about the knock-off. I bet that thing is patented for a full 17 years as a nail remover. In the Navy we had something similar, called it a pin gun for taking rivets out of steel walls. Had a hell of a kick. Hog packing plants use the same thing, one pull and the pin goes into the back of the brain then retracts, hog is ready for the butchers, no pain for the hog, no mess. Way cheaper than the old way of a 22 cal. in the back of the head. -- Tsunami Guitars and Custom Woodworking, Cleveland, TN |

Did you ever try to burn the nails out with an arc welder? -- Bert |
