This tool is made in much the same way as you make a crow bar. However,
before bending the end up into a crow-bar shape, cut a slot in the
end, as shown in the picture. Now bend it into shape. The handle should
not be over 20 ins. in length and tapered usually from 3/4 in. at the
large end to about 3/8 in. at the smaller end. The end is now flattened
and a hole punched in it to hang it up when not in use. This is one of
the handiest tools to have around any shop, not only as a nail and a
bolt puller, but it may be used in place of the crow-bar. The drawing
explains the various steps in the making of the tool.
