With the help of this home-made tool, you can quickly disassemble old plank floors in the country or in a private (suburban) house. The design itself is extremely simple - you can make such a tool in one hour. Materials for this homemade product are also easy to find. Only two sections of the profile pipe, two pieces of the plate and a hammer-nail puller are required.
However, the main advantage of a home-made tool is not only ease of manufacture, but also practicality - thanks to the long handle you do not have to bend down each time to undermine or hook the floorboard. This allows you to reduce the load on the back and avoid injuries. In general, such a homemade product on the farm will definitely come in handy.
The main stages of tool manufacturing
First of all, cut off two identical pieces from the plate (you can use a band saw or a grinder). We weld them to a section of a profile pipe 40x40 mm. Then it is necessary to cut off the part with the nail puller from the hammer, and then weld it in the middle of the profile (between the plates).
At the next stage, we cut a piece of profile pipe 15x15 mm suitable for length, make a small cut in the upper part and bend at an angle to make it more convenient to hold. Then we weld the handle to the main part. We clean the places of welds with a grinding disc. If desired, the tool can be painted with spray paint.
The result was a very simple but useful device that is useful in a private house and in the country. Make yourself such a tool to save time and energy when disassembling old plank floors in a house or on the street. You can get used to and disassemble the walls from the boards.
