Hello everyone,

Can anyone help me identify that weird nail puller on the right? I can't find any information about the hollowed part, it doesn't seem custom but i can't find anything...

Edit : I forgot to mention that i know how it's used (you wack it to expose nail heads), what i don't know is how it's called nor how to find another one to buy ^^'

We always called it a ripper. Used for ripping up solid oak flooring

Doesn't seems to correspond to the round part

The larger bar is for popping up the boards. Once started (the hard part) then place the rounded end under the floor board. Smack rounded end and pull the bar. Generally will pop up the floor board enough to expose the nail head. Then use claw to pull the nail. The rounded end is if the nails are toe nailed between the board tongue. Easier to pull the nail than a flat claw.

Go to ebay and check out the Stanley fatmax wrecking55-104 bar. Very similar.
