Abstract: A hand tool having a leverage handle from which a nail pulling foot portion extends laterally from one end thereof and has a bore formed therein from its extreme lateral end toward the handle for receiving a portion of a nail, the balance of which is embedded below the surface of a member from which it is to be extracted by movement of the handle in a direction to first bend such nail into a snubbing relation to the bore in which it is lodged, the foot portion of the tool having an arcuate contoured face rockable upon the surface from which the nail is to be extracted. The tool further having slits formed in that face thereof opposite the arcuate surface into communication with the bore formed in the foot portion for register and receipt of the head of a flat headed nail during the bending and pulling operation of the tool. This feature also provides a safety feature by preventing the nail from flipping out of the bore when the nail comes loose from the surface out of which it is pulled.
