When to choose it

The No. 1066 is an eight-inch remover with a polished forged blade and a hardwood handle. Choose it when its working tip can get beneath the old tack or staple and you want more reach than the compact No. 124. The blade extends 3⅝ inches, which is the useful dimension near a rail.

For deeply obstructed fasteners, compare the 8¼-inch blade of the 124-12. For fasteners in a dedicated welt groove, compare the No. 710, whose maker describes that access. Choose the profile that reaches the metal while the handle can still move.
