Abstract: A board removal tool (10), for the removal of boards (or panels) (F) from building structures (FS) such as floors, walls or ceilings, has an elongate handle (20), connected a tool body (30) having aligned, spaced first and second jaw members (40, 50) at one end; the first and second jaw members (40, 50) having opposed jaw faces (41, 51) to receive the boards (F) therebetween. The handle (20) has a hand-grip (23) at the other end, which is rearwardly inclined. The workman engages several boards (F) between the first and second jaw members (40, 50), with the opposed jaw faces (41, 51) extending transverse to the boards (F); and pulls the hand-grip (23) to move the hand-grip (23) in a curved path towards himself. As the tool (10) “rotates” about a distal end (53) of the second jaw member (50), the first jaw member (40) progressively removes/releases at least some of the boards (F) from the building structure(FS) to which the boards (F) were fixed.
