Stanley 55-114 10″ Precision Claw Bar
Precision Extraction for Stubborn, Embedded Fasteners
The Stanley 55-114 10" Precision Claw Bar is the ultimate solution for removing nails that have been driven flush or deep into wood surfaces. Unlike larger, bulkier bars, the "cat’s paw" design of the 55-114 features a sharp, precision-ground claw that can be driven under the nail head with a hammer, allowing for a clean pull every time.
Forged from high-carbon steel, this bar features a contoured rocker head that provides a high-leverage pivot point, making it effortless to pop out long finishing nails or stubborn fasteners. The polished finish on the claws reduces friction, ensuring you can extract nails without unnecessarily chewing up the surrounding timber.
Why the 55-114 is an Essential Extraction Tool:
- Contoured Rocker Head: Engineered to provide maximum mechanical advantage, reducing the effort needed to pull deep-set nails.
- Precision-Ground Claws: The sharpened tips slide easily under nail heads, minimizing wood splintering.
- Forged High-Carbon Steel: Provides the industrial strength required to withstand hammer strikes and heavy prying loads.
- Dual-End Versatility: Features a classic claw for extraction and a flat, beveled end for light prying and scraping.
- 10-Inch Compact Size: Perfectly sized for detailed restoration work and fits comfortably in any tool belt or drawer.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ What is the difference between a Claw Bar and a Molding Bar?
A Molding Bar is flat and wide, designed to slide under trim to pry it off a wall. This Claw Bar (55-114) is designed to dig into the wood to grab a nail head that is flush with or below the surface. It is a nail extraction specialist.
+ Can I hit this bar with a hammer?
Absolutely. The forged high-carbon steel construction is specifically designed to be struck with a hammer to drive the claw under deeply embedded nail heads.
+ Will it pull large 16d nails?
While this precision bar is best for finishing nails and common fasteners, the forged steel and rocker head are strong enough to pull larger nails. However, for a high volume of large 16d framing nails, a larger 12" or 15" bar might offer more comfort.
+ How do I prevent the claws from rusting?
The polished steel edges are exposed for precision. To prevent rust, especially if you work in humid conditions, we recommend a quick wipe with a light machine oil or a WD-40 soaked rag after use.
