Zenith Industries ZN700001 Trim Puller

Not only is it great for removing door trim, I removed stair strips with ease and im fully aware it will remove skirting boards I used a rubber mallet. No damage to plasterboard to boot. You tube will tell you to get a pry bar, tradesmen will say use wood behind the pry bar to stop you damaging the plaster. I chose this tool as no wood needed, no damage caused to plasterboard has multiple effortless applications due to it strong sturdy design, so if you need a tool for the above buy one, no experience needed.

Just started to use this trim puller to remove all my skirting’s before I lay a new LVT floor. What an amazing tool. So easy to use. Can’t speak highly enough. Well worth the little bit more as my dad always says “you get what you pay for”

I I’ve previously removed skirting from both solid and stud walls and to do it properly requires using chisels, crow bars, pieces of wood to protect the wall and even then chances are you’ll dent the plaster on a solid wall or bust through a plasterboard sheet completely. I bought this tool after searching for a wider crow bar than I already have. I got the job done with very little damage to the wall and all of the skirting off in complete lengths - so I can thoroughly recommend this tool!

Great product does exactly what it says. Strong enough for me at 80Kgs to stand on and lever skirting boards off, even with the biggest masonry nails. Also very good for tight spaces due to size, excellent tool for removing carpet nails.

This really is for the North American market where every wall is a dry wall and the skirting is nailed using a brad nail gun. Here in good old Blighty, our walls in older houses are quite different. If you have a Gypsum plasterboard wall, you'll probably be okay, if on the other hand yours is an older property with lath and lime plaster, be prepared for destruction. These skirting boards were usually held in with 4 inch oval nails hammered in to the plaster, and the plaster disintegrates very easily. I would still recommend this tool as it does make short work of getting the skirting off, but be prepared to buy some rubble sacks.

Did exactly what it says

Did what they was supposed to do. Good quality, Bit Too Expensive , But pleased with this purchase as it quickly removes trim with minimum damage.

What a fantastic tool. Bought it to remove skirting which it did brilliantly. My next job is tiling the bathroom but need to remove the old tiles but they are really well fitted and stubborn. This tool works like a dream in removing them without the typical damage to the plaster.

This is a really solid piece of equipment. Comfortable to use and heavy enough to hit in with a hammer. Great for removing wooden skirting boards

Buen producto de calidad ,talmcomo lo rsperaba

Super sturdy and will remove even the oldest trim and baseboards with ease. Just slit the caulking and hammer the edge of the tool into the baseboard. The shape of the tool pulls the baseboard from the wall. Repeat along the wall and the trim will easily pull away. We used it on baseboard that had been nailed below the flooring and heavily glued. Once we pulled it away we had to cut a few nails, but without this tool, it would have been much more difficult to remove.

I am doing a whole house DIY remodel, which includes a lot of deconstruction, in which I don't want to damage surrounding elements which will stay in place. Obviously removing door trim to be painted, and scoring sheetrock at chair rail height, to replace with paneling over new sheetrock (had some water damage to original rock in the bottom 6-12" which required replacement). Didn't want to rip it out all the way up to the ceiling...unnecessary. At any rate, I found this tool to be totally indispensable. Having done stuff like this before on a couple of my rental properties and a restaurant remodel that I owned, I have a wide variety of crow bars in many different shapes, since different leverage is achieved with different shapes of crow bar. On my latest remodel, I found myself using this clever tool, almost exclusively. Only picked up one of my heavy "angled" crowbars just once. This thing rocks. I was worried that it might bend, due to the extreme stress I was putting on it, when prying some 2x8's away from other framing. But that was quickly put to rest because this thing is thick and beefy, showing absolutely no signs of deflection at the 90 degree turn of the tool. I even had to whack it hard a couple of times, just below the handle with a hand held sledge, to get the 2x8 to begin to loosen with the heavy framing nails that held it in place. This tool is a pit bull. When removing sheetrock, which thankfully was nailed to studs instead of screwed (home built in the mid 60's), I simply inserted the leading edge of the tool, between the stud and the rock, and gave it a few taps with the hammer and the wedge action of the flange protrusion on the tool, quickly separated the sheetrock from the stud by simply tapping the butt end lightly with a hammer. BUT, what I really loved is that I did not have to pick up a hammer or a pry bar, to dislodge the sheetrock nails from the studs. The little notch along the leading edge of the tool made quick work of nail extraction with very little effort or leverage. Popped them right out with a quick flick of the wrist. Real time saver in the long run, when dealing with a lot of nail pulling. I even started using it instead of my hammer on all the other nails that needed to be extracted from door frames. I noticed some negative reviews before purchasing on Amazon, in which there were complaints about the tool bending. I can tell you unequivocally, that those reviews are false and probably written by folks with an agenda (i.e. maybe they were plants from competitors who have infringed on the Zenith patents and produced knockoffs which are not as beefy as this original). I really challenged this tool with the sledge hammer strikes just below the handle to get that 2x8 dislodged far enough to get an aggressive crow bar hammered into the space created by the zenith, in order to separate it from the rest of the structural framing....didn't bat an eye. I am always on the lookout for tools which can be so unique as to become indispensable by virtue of their utility in performing frequent and ordinary tasks. Once in a blue moon, I stumble upon one, which I wish I had had for years. This one fills that bill and then some. I hesitated at first, due to the price, but the leverage action of the angled flange and the wide broad surface which spreads the "prying" load over a larger area to prevent gouges in walls, when removing door trim, really caught my attention and prompted me to say "to heck with the price". I am glad that I did. It has proved its worth in action and it has more than paid for itself in more efficient use of my time, and less damage where none is wanted. You get what you pay for and bottom line is that you should not be tempted by the illegal "patent infringing" knock-offs which are cheaper because they are not as beefy and robust (metal quality and thickness). And NO, I am in no way affiliated with whomever Zenith is. They just deserve accolades for a great idea without any compromise on quality and utility.
