Let’s be honest, as framers or really anyone in the trades, pulling nails and “deconstruction” are part of the job. It is just a simple fact that we will make mistakes, or changes will be made after the fact. In this post I wanted to introduce you to the way we pull nails and the tools we use.
When I started framing after school and on breaks, it was often my job to pull nails or fix things. I hated it but now realize that this was good training. It is very important that as apprentices we learn to use tools proficiently, and that only comes from repetition. The cat’s paw I first used was the old style here. It worked well enough, but I can distinctly remember nailing rim on a cantilever too low. It wasn’t flush with the joists, and I had to pull all the nails. I missed the handle on the cat’s paw and hit my knee with my hammer. This was a 2’ cantilever on second floor, I was new and scared being on top of the walls. I hated my job and hated life at that moment!
