FAQs
Can this tool be used for removing wood screws?
No, this tool is specifically designed for small tacks and upholstery fasteners. Using it on screws may damage the tool tip.
Is the handle comfortable for long sessions?
Yes, the soft-grip rubber handle is designed to reduce vibrations and pressure on the palm during extended upholstery work.
Will this tool damage my flooring?
It is designed to minimize surface damage, but for delicate wood, it is recommended to place a small piece of card or plastic under the fulcrum point for protection.
What is the model number for replacement?
The model number is FAITACKLIFT.
Can I use it to remove heavy-duty nails?
The tool is optimized for tack-sized fasteners. For heavy-duty construction nails, a crowbar or claw hammer is more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Tack head is too stubborn to lift
Ensure the V-tip is fully seated under the tack head and try tapping the base of the tool gently with a mallet to get better purchase.
Tool is slipping during use
Verify that the handle is clean and free of oil or dust; if necessary, wipe the rubber grip with a degreasing agent to restore tackiness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for the Faithfull Tack Lifter; it is ready to use immediately out of the package. This tool is compatible with a wide range of standard carpet tacks, upholstery staples, and small-headed nails found in furniture repair. To maintain the tool, simply wipe the shaft with a clean cloth after use to remove debris. If exposed to moisture, ensure the metal is dried thoroughly to prevent surface oxidation. Storing it in a dry toolkit will preserve the integrity of the soft-grip handle and the sharpness of the V-shaped tip.
