C.S. Osborne No. 402½ Ripping Tool and Tack Puller
When to choose it
Choose the 402½ when stripping a piece involves both working through the old covering and lifting tacks. Osborne combines the ripping and tack-pulling functions in a forged blade that measures 3¾ inches. It has an amber handle and an overall length of 8¼ inches.
If you need only a narrow plain chisel edge, compare the No. 402. If a tack shank or staple leg has already broken off and needs to be gripped, compare pliers before trying to reach it with a combination blade.
