C.S. Osborne No. 200 Narrow Tack Claw

Osborne No. 200 with narrow metal claw and wood handle.
Osborne No. 200 with narrow metal claw and wood handle.

When to choose it

Choose the No. 200 where the tack head is visible but nearby fabric or wood leaves a narrow approach. The tempered claw narrows at the point and has a 3¼-inch blade. Compare that reach with the space between your hand and the fastener before choosing a longer remover.

Osborne gives the whole tool a 7½-inch length. If the metal is a broad staple crown, compare a dedicated staple fork. If the head breaks off after lifting, check whether pliers can close on the exposed shank.
