Check the fit

This tool lifts a strip from the floor. Choose a strip cutter if you need to size new strips instead. The selected listing restricts industrial use, so check that limit against the removal job you have in mind.

When to choose it

Choose this bar for lifting existing tack strips when you can work with the long handle clear of the wall and furniture. The claw reaches under the strip while the base provides a pivot, so check the working clearance rather than choosing by overall length alone.
