New designs have been introduced, including the Nail Jack and Nail Hunter nail pullers, which take a pliers-like approach to the old cat's paw design. These tools contain their own built in fulcrum, but can also be struck with a hammer to drive the tips of the tool into the wood with very little damage, allowing them to dig out nails that have ...
Finish nail (bullet head nail, lost-head nail) – A wire nail with a small head intended to be minimally visible or driven below the wood surface and the hole filled to be invisible; Gang nail – a nail plate; Hardboard pin – a small nail for fixing hardboard or thin plywood, often with a square shank; Horseshoe nail – nails used to hold ...

Two types of denailer are available: [citation needed] A stationary denailer is a machine designed for single-purpose use, e.g. pallet refurbishing. A portable denailer is a hand-held pneumatically-powered tool. It works by driving out the nail from the point end in ...
The colored straws in the tray contain cartridges that are loaded singly into the tool. Also visible are 75 mm hardened steel nails with 8 mm heads. Powder actuated tools can be variously classified: Direct acting (the charge acts directly on the head of the nail or high velocity), or indirect (using an intermediate piston or low velocity)
Pincers are a hand tool used in many situations where a mechanical advantage is required to pinch, cut or pull an object. Pincers are first-class levers , but differ from pliers in that the concentration of force is either to a point, or to an edge perpendicular to the length of the tool.
The larger and heavier head can decrease the number of blows required to fully drive a nail, minimized further by increased leverage (torque) and head speed generated by longer handles. Framing hammers also characteristically have a checkered "milled" face, which reduces skip-off of the head if the blow is not precisely struck on the nail.
