I seriously have no idea how some here managed to bend this tool! I was able to undo sturdy pallets, the kind used by companies that deliver stones and bricks. Before you give one star, be sure you use this properly. You don't just try to pry with all your force in a single motion, the proper way is to do 2 or 3 sudden back and forth motions until enough of the nail is dislodged and then you pry the rest in one shot. I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence but anyone who used this tool on a job site knows that.If you used a crowbar in the past then you'll know how to use this one too.
