Tools and Hardware Reviews of Stiletto TICLW12 ClawBar Titanium Nail Puller
Customer Review: Best Nail Puller, Currently in the world.
Summary: 5 Stars
I will never use another Nail Puller other than the Stiletto ClawBar.
I bought this Stiletto Titanium Nail Puller.
I liked it allot and so did my Co-Workers, so I bought seven(7) of them at discount for $77.20 a piece (including shipping!) and sold them to my Co-Workers for the same amount. None of them broke and they work very well, however there are some things you should know or should do.
1) Take some 3/16 thick blaze-orange/yellow/green, cord/rope, and thread the cord through the holes of the nail puller. Starting at the far end and working up to the "Stiletto" logo, tie off, and fill the last two holes (that have the knots you just tied) with high-temp glue-gun glue to hold it in place. This is so if you drop it on the snow,dirt,sand,backfill,water,mud, you will see it, and will not loose it, also helps the grip wen its raining. This will also help you see you're Stiletto Nail puller from far away wen a co-worker snags it and is up on the roof with it, and you can give him a ear full.
If they take it again, introduce the mans arm to the chop saw...
2) Switch to a Titanium framing hammer, One I like is
Vaughan 07165 16-Ounce Dalluge Titanium Hammer, 19-Inch Curved Hickory Handle
Use-ing a Titanium hammer will be allot nicer to the Titanium Nail puller, I found that hitting it with a steel headed hammer dents it a bit more.
Also, use-ing a smooth face Titanium hammer is even better against this Nail puller than a milled one.
3) All Nail puller claws can be dented or chiped, and a Titanium one is no exception. Take the time to line up the claws so they go around the nail, and not into the nail head or shaft. Take the time to do this and it will last a long time. Never attempt to pull out Tico Nails(joist hanger nails) that are in and against a hanger plate, this will dent the Stiletto Nail puller claws quicker than you can swear/curse.
Keep a Bear Claw(call it the loner) laying around on the deck near the blueprints table just in case you need to do this.
Here is a big one good for any job:
Vaughan & Bushnell BC13 13-Inch Bear Claw Nail Puller
Dimpler: This works best for taking out Hand Nails. Nail-Gun Nails are usually launched in to deeply for the Dimpler to be effective. If you can, adjust the PSI on the compressor so the nails aren't "lanced through to the 4th dimension".
The Dimpler does not work on OSB very well at all, don't even try.
Be careful not to strike the Dimpler nipple with the hammer wen sinking the claws in to the wood, its possible to knock a chunk off the Dimpler nipple (you have to hit it very hard, but its happened once that I know of).
Remember:
DO-NOT-EVER lone out you're Stiletto ClawBar!
If some guy asks for it just say out loud,
"Why buy it? wen you can borrow it! -hah!" and laugh.
If they ask again, offer to sell it to them, if they refuse point to the 13 inch Bear Claw lying on the blue print table.
Or you can buy the worst Nail Puller ever made for use as "The Loner" this thing will teach em to put there nails in straight the first time.

Customer Review: Fancy name
Summary: 3 Stars
I admit I got the stiletto bug. the hammers are amazing but this clawbar was not impressed. Had a good chance to use it head to head with vaulgh steel and the steel just felt better and could pull hangers nails from plates with ease.
I do like the lighter weight and smaller size for throwing into a emergency tool box, but my primary will be the steel.
Customer Review: Fiorebuilt Construction loves this Catspaw
Summary: 5 Stars
Now I'm certain spending almost 100 bucks for a catspaw sounds ridiculous, and it is. I used the hell out of this thing and it works a lot better than the steel units I've used. For one, the points are very sharp and stay sharp. My tool belt weighs a ton as it is, so having a few less ounces is work the extra money. This tool is well designed, simple, and works great. No regrets.Customer Review: General contractor
Summary: 5 Stars
Best nail puller ever made, this is my second one first one was lost in a bath demo, somehow my worker threw it in with the garbage,it stays sharp does not flatten like the steel ones and it is 10 times lighter,it is a must have for anyone in const.,thank you stilletto for making such an awesome tool!Customer Review: Is it really that sharp?
Summary: 5 Stars
Another tool I carry all day in my bags, which I don't mind at all. My only gripe is that the claw ends are a little sharp. I know how utterly stupid that sounds, but, scratch yourself with either ends...You will know that you have been scratched!
Pulls nails like a regular nail pull, and the weight is incredible! I love this nail pull!
