Product Information
Full details
The Felo Tack Claw is a professional-grade extraction tool designed for upholsterers, woodworkers, and automotive technicians who need to remove fasteners with precision. Its primary benefit is the ability to lift tacks and staples while minimizing surface marring, thanks to its specialized blade geometry. While it excels at delicate extraction, users should note that its 3-3/4 inch blade is intended for smaller fasteners and may lack the necessary leverage for heavy-duty structural nail removal.

FAQs
Is this tool suitable for removing large construction nails?
No. This tool is designed for tacks, staples, and small finish nails. Using it on large construction nails may damage the blade.
Can I use this on delicate fabrics?
Yes, the thin blade is designed to minimize surface damage, but always exercise caution and use a protective shim if the surface is highly polished.
What is the material of the handle?
The handle is made from a high-impact composite, providing durability and a secure, non-slip grip.
Does it require oiling?
While not strictly required, a light wipe with a silicone-based oil can help prevent rust if stored in a humid environment.
Is the blade length exactly 4 inches?
The blade length is 3-3/4 inches, which is optimized for the leverage needed for delicate fastener extraction.
Troubleshooting
Fastener head slips off the claw
Ensure the blade is inserted fully beneath the head of the tack before applying upward pressure.
Blade feels dull or does not bite under the nail
Use a metal file or honing stone to lightly refresh the bevel on the blade tips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for the Felo Tack Claw; it is ready for immediate use out of the box. To maintain the tool's performance:
- Cleaning: Wipe the blade with a clean cloth after use to remove debris or adhesive residue.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation, despite the high-quality steel construction.
- Inspection: Periodically check the handle for any cracks or loosening, though the composite material is highly resistant to impact.
- Maintenance: If the tip develops a minor burr over years of use, a fine-grit honing stone can be used to lightly restore the edge geometry.
