Onoff Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 How about this: Centre punch the nail heads. Then use a spot weld drill to take the heads off. When you remove the plate just hammer the protruding bits of nail in a bit more. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AK4728-Sealey-HSS-Cobalt-Spot-Weld-Drill-6-x-66mm-Drill-Bits-Sets/312240744435?

MJNewton Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thanks everyone - I'm certainly not short on ideas now! Will start with the simple and progress from there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJNewton Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 It's off! I'm pleased to report it was quite straightforward in the end and I only required a hammer and my small breaker bar. The suggestion to strike the side of the nail heads where they lay completely flush helped get them moving slightly and then I could hammer in the claw of the breaker and ease them out without too much fuss. Indeed it was the other (supposedly 'easy' I thought!) side with the screws that gave me the most grief with me grazing knuckles and having to work above my head. Thanks again for all the suggestions - it was good to go into this with some options up my sleeve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If if you want a really great addition to your tool kit (come on who can resist more tools ?) then you won’t go far wrong with this set. Honestly they will take some serious abuse and are just too bloooomin useful. https://www.rutlands.co.uk/sp+hand-tools-nail-pullers-pry-bars-nail-pullers-japanese-claws-set-of-3-rutlands+jp1420pack3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
