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.

There exists an older version of the Jefferson extracting pliers. It
is manufactured by Crescent (part of the Cooper Group). It is Crescent
catalog number 56 and called Sure Grip. Its got a pair of jaws to grip
the nail, a slide hammer and a curved lever. The slide hammer serves
to set the jaws below the surface of the wood. Its long enough to pull
out even stubborn customers.It seems to still be available and is
shown on Crescent's web site.
