HOME > How to use a Japanese nail extractor
There are various types of nail extractors and the shape and way of using it can differ according to each tool. Though the end process is all the same, to extract nails.
Firstly, follow fig. 1, insert the cleft(B) between the head of the nail and the wood board to create a small gap..
Next, as fig. 2 shows, use the cleft(A) on the other end and remove nail by following the principle of leverage.
If the nail head is not easily inserted in to the cleft of the kajiya tool, lightly hammer the (C) or (D) end with a gennoh.
Grab the head of the nail with the mouth edge, and push over to one side. Use the principle of leverage to remove the nail.
To avoid damaging the surface of the wood, place a small piece of wood or wedge, underneath the nail extractor as a protector and extra leverage.
The thicker the wedge (piece of wood) placed underneath the nail extractor, the easier it will be to remove the target nail due to more efficient leverage. To avoid bending the nail, twisting the nail while pulling can assist with the nail removal.
Wipe with oil or anti-rust agent before storing.
