Any recommendations on a couple of useful nail pullers for mild to wild recycling?
Thanks in advance, Pat

Buy a new one, if you buy at all. You can find them cheaper. Think I paid $35 for mine, some 40 years ago. Be careful about Ebay offerings. The jaws of many of the (used) Ebay offerings are worn down, too much, to properly pull a nail.... and you can't sharpen the jaws, to "fix" the worn jaws.. The cresent puller doesn't damage your wood as much as a cats paw, or the like.

Or if you want it soonr, Lehmans claimes they have stock for about 20
bucks more.

Or you could get a Bahco--my Dad had one that was Navy surplus (not
surplus store surplus--he was CO of a Navy salvage depot) that looked
an awful lot like it but I don't recall the brand name on that one
now.

A good olde-timey hardware store might likely have a Cresent, or 2, in stock. About 2 yrs ago, I saw one, in Opelousas, for about $40.
