What is this tool?

Ace hardware still sells this nail puller unchanged from 50 years ago.
I was a teenager when Dad was building a house and I had to take the nails out of the cement form to reuse the material for the building joists. 2X12X16 He bought this tool and I still use it.

Thanks all.
I had never seen one like this before. A friend of mine gave it to me. He didn't know what it was either. Hammer and claw foot crowbar always worked for me before. I knew it was some kind of puller but can't see how it can grab a nail head that is sunk into a wood deck board. If the head was sticking up a little it would be no problem.
Thanks again.

Place the solid jaw on the edge of a nailhead, on the wood right on the edge of the nail.

Lift the sliding handle, slam it down a time or 2. Keep the jaw on the edge of the nail head.

The sliding hammer will put the jaw intot he wood a tad, and slipped under the nail head.

Close the jaws and pull the nail out using the little tab as the fulcrum.

This leaves a small dent in your wood. Much less damage than any other tool.

Keep your hand away from the sliding part of the handle, you _will_ get blood blisters or worse when using or carrying the tool and the handle slide closed. Happens to everyone until we learn....

Well, it looks exactly like that...blue GRAY PH-70 stamped in the thing, and GRAY CANADA. A nail puller, or special tool for pulling something. Its identical...small world.I'm searching so if I find out, I'll brief you. LOL
