for James Turner I use an old cobblers pleir. They grabb nails from the front instead of the side. They look like 2 half hooks that come together. I would guess $10-$15 at a good hardware store. You lift the shank, grab the knuckle, and squeeze. The knuckle pops right out. You can remove a set in about 15 minutes. You can also check for them in masonary tools. They are made of iron. They come in different sizes. Theodore Mamel RPT Pittsburgh Chapter
