Default Anyone Here Use One Of These? Nail Extractor

Got one, it works great, especially when reclaiming mouldings. It really
pays for itself in removing nails from the back of mouldings so that the
pricey moulding is undamaged. Prior to this I used ViceGrips to pull the
nails but I would have to clamp onto each nail then insert a piece of metal
under the grips to lever the nails out -- very clumsy -- then you had to
unclamp the grips to release the nail. My old hands would complain about the
workout, so I tried the new item.

I just saw and ad, never heard of one before. I've been looking
for something that'll do what they claim this will do. But at $25 US a
pop, it's a bit pricey for me to jus buy one for experimenting with.
So, if anyone here has used one of these I'd like to hear their thoughts
on it. Even then, if most people claim it works may just wind up
welding an arc on one side of a vise-grip jaw, that would probably work
close enough for what I want, and cost me less then $10, max.
