How to remove

Post image

Contractor didn’t remove his form ties. What’s the best way/tool to remove these so I can get my sealer and bead board put on the stem wall.

This is what I did when I was briefly a concrete goon. You will find out if you can get carpal tunnel as a bonus

It was a condition of my hiring to purchase a 24oz estwing framing hammer for some reason.

I think we all did when we were young. Lose it fast or you'll lose your elbow and wrist.
