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

A claw hammer is quite good for removing nails. Select the appropriate
finger and put it against a firm surface. Hit it firmly with the claw
hammer. Club hammers are naturally more effective and if you have a
helper a large sledge hammer is even better. ;-)

Cheers, John - I was just about to have some lunch. shudder
