Easy New Ways To "Pull" Nails

Nail Kicker
The Nail Kicker« denailer by RECONNX, Inc., is a handheld, air-powered nail remover that works up to four times faster than pulling nails by hand. It doesn't just pull nails out. It "kicks" them out from the bottom.
  It's similar to a nail gun, but works in reverse, kicking them out without damaging the wood.
  According to RECONNX vice president and CEO Jon X. Giltner, the Nail Kicker can do a day's worth of work in two hours. "It can kick nails out of plywood, flooring, and even two-ply material without damaging the wood surfaces," says Giltner. "Of course, the nail size, lumber thickness, species, moisture content, and skill of the operator all affect the resistance of a nail. As with any tool, operators get more proficient with practice. We can say that if the Nail Kicker can fit over the nail, it will move the nail."
  The company's "try-and-buy" return program allows customers to recoup the purchase price (minus a restocking fee), if they decide the unit doesn't suit their needs.
  The unit sells for $439 plus S&H.

Nail Wrench
The patent pending Nail Wrench by RECONNX, Inc., is a nail puller and screw remover that attaches to handheld drills. It removes nails and screws quickly by grabbing the head and spinning it out of the wood.
  At a low to medium speed, the Nail Wrench drills into the wood and around the fastener like a hole saw, until the fastener is held firmly. It spins the drill or screw in place, so you can pull it out with the drill. The Nail Wrench goes into production later this year and will sell for less than $50.
