Nail Extractor
Designed and constructed to do one thing better than any other tool in the world.
- From the website:
Patented design allows the jaws to stay parallel and automatically increase gripping force as greater resistance is encountered.
Once the extraction has been initiated, only a prying action is necessary; the handles no longer need to be squeezed.
Curved heel (below) enables the nail or other fastener to be lifted with minimal surface damage.
Serrated teeth for a slip–free grip even on the most stubborn objects.
Long handles (tool is 11" long) provide greater leverage.
$22.50 here.

Oh my God...me, too! I saw the phrase "Nail Extractor", saw the accompanying photograph - and thought, well, must be from a sadist's catalog. You know, the Authentic Catalog of the Marquise de Sade's Historically Correct Goodies. Or something like that.
Boy, I'm glad I'm not the only twisted thinker out there.

There is something terribly, terribly wrong with me. How do I know?
My initial impression of this device was that it was for fingernails. You know, like a main selection of the Torture Implement of the Month Club.
Apparently the old headspace needs a little mucking out before winter sets in.
