I was told many years ago about a tool for removing nails (not a claw
hammer).

It's called a "nail puller".

Would this be any use for removing six inch nails from massive ancient
old timbers? The nails stick out three inches so there is no difficulty
getting a purchase on them, but I don't want to go the lever with a
block-of-wood-and-claw-hammer route cos that is a sideways pull which
may damage the timber. I want something that will pull the nail out
straight
