Shark Corp 21-2225 10-Inch Prybar and Nail Puller

The cat's paw nail puller on the end of the Shark Corp Prybar attacks nails on the stim and not the head so pulling small headless nails, brad nails, and all types of finish nails becomes and easy job. Additionally, the nail puller doubles as a light duty tack hammer for tapping out finish nails from removed trim.

In sum, the Shark Corp Prybar is a durable, usefull, attractive and wellmade tool. I'll have to keep an eye on this tool so it doesn't swim away on the jobsite. While Shark Corp offers an 8'' model, I'd recommend that you purchase the 10'' model because the 8'' model just doesn't have as much leverage.


Shark is Sharp!   April 30, 2001
This is a great compliment to the smaller model; the extra length works better on glue coat and ring shank nails that are well set. The flat end will get under trim almost as easily as a putty knife. The cat's paw nail puller is very sharp, both the tips and the slot, so it will grip headless nails with just a tap on the heel. The one caution: when using the cat's paw end, wear a leather glove to protect the palm of your hand from the sharp corners of the wide blade when yanking on it.

I also use it to do some scraping and cleaning out inside corners. The heel of the cat's paw also can be used as a tack hammer. You will find more uses for this tool everytime you go to work. The quality of the forging and finish is great. Add one to your tool box today!

My only complaint is that I misplace mine too often! I do recommend the 10" over the 8", the extra leverage is appreciated. Excellent, tough steel that can be pounded and yet resharpened. In a tight spot, I even use the Shark like a chisel. With a bit of finesse, it will also pull headless finish nails. For more physical work, the Estwing is a similarly nice tool.

This is absolutely my favorite hand tool ever. You can't imagine the usefulness of it until you have one in your hand. It eclipses all other pry bars. For trim it is simply outstanding. You can remove delicate moldings without damage. I have never used another bar that even comes close for this. It pulls the smallest of nails with ease , even nails without a head. The claw grips the shank like a vise. It also works on larger nails. You can lift drywall with it. You can scrape with it. The list of uses is unending and it gets longer every day.Buy about five of these because everyone who touches it will want one. Highly recommended.
