I just saw and ad, never heard of one before. I've been looking
for something that'll do what they claim this will do. But at $25 US a
pop, it's a bit pricey for me to jus buy one for experimenting with.
So, if anyone here has used one of these I'd like to hear their thoughts
on it. Even then, if most people claim it works may just wind up
welding an arc on one side of a vise-grip jaw, that would probably work
close enough for what I want, and cost me less then $10, max.

If you turn your slip-joint pliers around, you'll find that the profile on
the outside of the jaws almost exactly matches the nice arc on that tool.
The only downside is that the slip-joint pliers will bend the nail some
before they start pulling, so hard nails sometimes break off. I also get a
little marking in the wood, avoided by putting a putty knife underneath. I
bet the purpose-built tool does that too, though.
