Quickly Remove Stuck Nails
When the head of a nail is barely sticking out of board, a hammer claw has plenty of leverage to pull it out. But when a nail is partially pulled but still firmly stuck, the claw is no longer effective. You can only pull the hammer back so far before it reaches the end of its leverage/pulling capacity.
To regain that leverage, put something solid under the head of the hammer. This sets the hammer back to the start of its pulling stroke. A block of wood works best because it won’t mar the board underneath it. In a pinch you can use whatever you’ve got, like a screwdriver handle.
