Works as advertised. Indispensable in pulling up old boards. Will only pull up boards that have been nailed in (not the ones that have been screwed in). Makes such easy work of pulling up old deck boards. So glad we invested in this product.

This tool made all the difference. What would have taken me a week took just one day to remove all really hard planks. It saved me a lot of time and a lot of money. Glad i got it. Very much recommended

Dear other potential buyers…I would recommend this product.The price is high but, worth the money required to save yourself time while removing old deck boards.My old deck I used this product on had 3” screws down inside 2” x 6” x 12’ treated lumber decking boards. After removing as many rusted screws as possible with my impact driver….Then I turned to this tool to pull the boards with the remaining screws off the deck.Definitely was still a lot of work but this tool made the task easy. (Compared to trying to use a pry bar and hammer)In summary:1) worth the money2) well made product3) product works as designed4) time saver5) handle can be replaced, if you ever break it

Without any question whatsoever, the Duckbill Deck Wrecker falls into the same category as the wheel and sliced bread. Yes -- it's that practical. It is one of the finest and most useful tools for its purpose that I have ever owned. For the removal of old deck planks, nothing works finer! It saves you, at least, four-fifths of the time and effort (maybe even more!) that it would normally take using a hammer with a crow bar or pry tool. Not to mention that it works primarily from a standing position. No more wearing out your knees while trying to get pry leverage. For those who are refurbishing an old, worn-out deck or ramp, it enables you to spend most of your time and energy actually doing the re-building and not killing yourself on the demolition. It removes the old, unwanted deck planks without harming the underlying joists. The tool is strong and heavy-duty, yet quite easy to handle. Consider your purchase of this tool to be a one-time investment; it is indeed built to last for a lifetime. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Having the right tool makes the job that much easier. If you are wrecking a deck put together with nails, this is a great tool to have. I took apart a 375 sq ft 2x4 deck in less than 3 hours. The boards were all in good shape so there was no fooling around once you get started. It provides great grip and terrific leverage.

Fantastic tool for ripping up an old deck. I thought it was a little pricey at first but after trying to rip some boards up the traditional way for a few hours with a long pry bar and spare wood for leverage I bought this and was so happy I did. I would've paid twice this amount after the fact to save my back as much as it did. This thing is solid and appears as if no shortcuts were made with materials. The handle is comfortable with a semi-firm neoprene type of material. The leverage created allowed both me and my wife to work the tool efficiently while the other did other tasks.Pros:- HUGE back saver...- very solid construction and the head can be reversed for different situations as needed- designed to do one job and does it well- save a TON of time on my project- well worth the money paid and moreCons:- would be nice to have a built in nail puller possibly. Although thinking it through you'd need to bend down to get the pulled nail anyway so maybe not, unless you don't care and would drop them for later cleanup (or not) depending on your situation.- as you pull up a line of old deck boards and start on the next row the old nails can get in the way. Usually you can maneuver the tool sufficiently around them as needed when this happens but slightly longer tines might be good. This wasn't an "issue" by any means but more a potential improvement. I'm not sure if longer tines might actually create a situation where it reaches more than the width of single board when completely snugged up.

This is one of those great ideas born from someone saying "there has to be a better way". I re-planked my 550 sq ft deck with composite decking. Before I began the project, I did some research and saw a video of someone using a similar tool that I've never seen before. I did a search and this was one of the main results. After reading about 40 reviews, I decided to go with this one. First off, you will quickly realize the benefit of this tool because in order to use it, you have to remove the first row of boards the conventional way using a crow bar. Once you make the transition to this tool, you will appreciate it. The head of the tool is heavy-gauge steel. The shaft is a very strong fiberglass composite. It flexes slightly but is strong. I read a review which mentioned they broke it and honestly I have no idea what they were doing for it to break. (The only thing I can think of is if they were using it on boards that were screwed-down. But in that case you would typically unscrew the boards - not force them up). This tool is primarily designed for boards that are nailed-down (unless the boards are so rotted that they pull right out from the screws). My boards were put down with ringed shank nails. I had to lean-into the bar with almost all my weight to pop many of them and this tool did an amazing job. I was previously in the electrical trade and do not buy or use "cheesy" tools - every tool I own is designed for heavy-duty use and this belongs with them. You use it in a standing position and it made quicker and easier work of a very labor-intensive task. As I lifted each row, I banged-over the nails, cut each board to manageable lengths and stacked it on my driveway until the pile was big enough to bring to the landfill - so I cannot state how long it took to remove all of them - but I can say I was thankful I had this tool. My deck is only 8 years old and the boards were weathered but not rotted, so 80% of the nails on my deck came-out with the boards. I would imagine that a severely rotted deck would leave many of the nails behind - but it depends on the condition of your boards. Any nails left behind would simply come out while I was standing and using a 5 ft crow bar. The head rotates by removing a pin to enable you to use the tool in either a pushing motion or pulling motion. My deck is just about at ground-level, so I pushed the bar while standing on the old boards. It just seemed like a more natural position. You would use this method if your deck is raised off the ground as well. The tool fits over single or double joists and uses them as leverage as its arms pop-up the boards. This saves the time and effort of having to bang a pry bar under the board at each joist. It also leaves the joists in good condition. Worth every penny and I would highly recommend it for this type of application.
