Use Extra Leverage to Pull Nails

At some point in your DIY journey, you’ll likely need to pull up nails—whether you’re fixing a mistake or replacing old, crumbling floorboards. But let’s face it, depending on the nail’s position and angle, this task can feel like a real headache. Ever struggled to get a stubborn nail out? You’re not alone. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be a struggle

Most of the time, your trusty hammer just needs a little extra leverage to do the job. That’s where a screwdriver comes in handy. By sliding a screwdriver under the hammer’s claw, you instantly boost your pulling power, making it easier to remove the nail in seconds. This simple trick can save you time and frustration, especially when dealing with tough or deeply embedded nails. Why make things harder than they need to be? With the right technique, you’ll tackle nail removal like a pro.
