The Vaughan BC series of Bear Claw nail pullers are simply tools you want to have lying around for when you really need them - and believe me, we've encountered endless opportunities for them to shine. From nail pulling in tight quarters, to quick pry jobs that demand a lighter, gentler prybar, the Bear Claw nail pullers seem to really excel at getting the job done.

We utilized both the BC10 and BC12, which we feel are the most useful of the available sizes. This is one of the better types of tools for pulling up nails that are close to a wall. It provides lots of leverage, but allows you to get in tight, where a traditional hammer claw would keep you back.

There are a number of companies providing these types of tools and for the most part none of the companies does much to distinguish their brand from another. Keep an eye out for a nice round-up article of pry bars and nail pullers that we'll be releasing on the site shortly.
