Need help figuring out barn extension

[petebert]

Yes I was going to completely remove all off the siding and then reuse it for the walls on the extension.

H.K. Porter makes a flush cut (flat blade) bolt cutter that I have used for similar jobs. The Amazon price is about $27.

Those might work. Regular end nippers or hoof nippers won't cut nails. Knipex has some that will cut nails and piano wire. Should work.

Wish I had found them when I was trying to salvage some tin.

I'd use my 4.5 inch grinder with a cut off wheel on the nail heads.

I was about to suggest a grinder. It seems a grinder would be tedious to keep from cutting into the metal. Looks like he has lead head nails so some breathing protection might be needed?

I'm sure it did. Those are good at pulling nails.

If you were pulling the nails did you get any damage to the siding?

Put a board under the part of the tool against the siding and you will have very little damage. The one timed i used one years ago i was amazed.

Agree on the board to protect the metal.

Does that have a hammer slide on it? Hardware store near me had something like that. Had something to grip on one end and a hammer slide on the handle.

The one I used did not. You use just like a claw hammer, the difference, those jaws clip under the nail/screw head, and the more you pull the more it tightens. You can put some real pulling force that way. It just flat works.

You need this. View attachment 525278

sure if pulling nails out of wood, not when grasping the shank where the washer is. There's a built in gap, for the jaws to grip and pull not cut the nail shank.
