Bates- Nail Puller, 7 Inch Steel End Cutting Pliers

I’ve been using this Bates cat’s paw nail puller and end cutting pliers for various carpentry and repair tasks, and it works extremely well. The tool feels solid and well made, with good leverage for pulling nails and staples cleanly. It gets under nails easily without damaging the surrounding wood, and the grip is comfortable even when applying more force. I’ve used it on a few projects and it has held up perfectly. Overall, this is a reliable and durable tool that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s a great addition to any toolbox, and I’m very happy with it.

I bought this tool to pull staples when removing carpet pad. i found that i use it to pull nails, cut wire, etc

Works surprisingly well. A must have tool if you are doing demo work. Does a great job of neatly pulling nails, especially in small tight spaces.

This is a good tool to have handy. I bought and used when ripping up old baseboards. Worked well. The only reason for the 4 star rating is that the metal broke on the end when pulling a nail.

Love these for pulling nails. Well built, great quality and the price is fair for what you are paying for.

I installed the back on a piece of furniture incorrectly. This tool proved to be essential in saving the small nails for the replacement piece. I was drawn to the add and it was completely accurate! It was a total 'shock' to me how well it worked..

Works great and does more than one job! High quality material and design! Precise and efficient!

These "nail puller/end cutters" are nicely made. The rubber handles are fit well to the tool. They are solid and the jaws are well machined. They meet well with no offset and the hinge is smooth with no binding. The casting is clean without pock marks or bumps. They work well for pulling nails if the nail head is "proud" of the wood. They are not going to reach down into the wood for the nail head without doing a fair amount of damage to the surface of the wood, but, if you can get a grip on the head of the nail, these will allow you to make short work of pulling a common nail. The cutting edge is sharp for an inexpensive tool. It easily cuts wire and thin material and holds its edge. I do believe it would take the grip of a gorilla to cut off a framing nail, but, I believe it could be done. I would not want it to cut through a nail too easily. That would make it very difficult to use as a puller. At this price point it is a good value. Is it a precision tool valued at $50+? No. But, at the current price of $10.85, it is a versatile tool well worth a place in my toolbox.

Good value for money, very useful for removing the nail from some wooden garden furniture I am upgrading. Highly recommend this useful tool.

This tool yanks nails like it’s on a personal vendetta. I’ve used it to pull out bent nails, rogue staples, and one very stubborn carpet tack that thought it could outsmart me — spoiler: it couldn’t. The jaws bite down with the determination of a terrier, and the leverage makes me feel like a superhero with a grudge against crooked fasteners. It’s sturdy, feels solid in the hand, and has already saved me from hammer-related rage more than once. Honestly, if you’ve ever tried prying nails out with the back of a hammer and sworn loudly at your wall, this thing will feel like therapy in tool form. Highly recommended anyone who just enjoys the oddly satisfying act of pulling stuff out of wood.

Very solid, very hard metal and great biting edge. Well machined with good mating on the cutting edges makes cutting wires that might be a challenge for diagonal cutters easy, These are the best gripper/cutters to use for wire tying fences (wrap/twist/snip and does it with ease in half the time. Pulling leverage, like a hammer, but in a small package.

Great value nail puller. Jaws almost flush so easy to grip nail head. Recommended.
