276082 Kirk Eppler 2022‑08‑07 Re: Absence, Apologies.....and Best Sliding Nail Puller?
I dunno, how do you rate these things?  Which one creates the biggest blood
blister? Which one damages the surface the most?

I have a Giant I think, and it's adequate, but only gets out when I can
ruin what I'm working on.

There are some that have a little side foot to give you more leverage than
just using the jaws.

That's all I've got, I'm just a common sewer on this topic.
