Dritz Home 44291 Wood-Handle Tack Remover
When to choose it
Choose this six-inch Dritz remover for lifting old tacks when the head is visible and you can approach it with the fork. Its slim working end and wood handle suit a spot where a broad jaw would be awkward to position beside the fastener.
Check the shape of the head and the clearance at the edge of the furniture. A tack has one shank, so assess the space around its head separately from the route under a staple crown. If an exposed leg still needs to be gripped after lifting, compare the bent-nose Osborne 600.

Questions about this product
Can I use a wider plier as the first tool?
Compare the clearance around the tack. A slim lifting end may fit where you still need to start the head.
When should I compare a dedicated staple lifter?
Compare it when the metal is a staple bridge with two legs and you need a tip that fits beneath the crown.
How do I estimate reach?
The six-inch figure covers the whole tool. Look at the shape of the exposed working end for access.
