A B S T R A C T An elongated approximately C-shaped frame with a handle portion above an elongated hand hole has downwardly- projecting arms depending from its forward and rearward ends. The forward arm is bifurcated by being keyhole-slotted verti- cally into a pair of laterally-spaced L shaped fingers which straddle the spike and the tubular spacer surrounding it with- in the gutter. The rearward depending arm is provided with an impact abutment for receiving the hammer blows during use. A strenghtening rib extending along the body between the de- pending portions imparts rigidity to the frame. In the first stage of its use. the forward depending arm is moved over the top of the gutter and dropped around the tubular spacer, then pulled toward the use until the flat ends of the fing- ers engage the inner surface of the outer gutter wall directly beneath the spike. A hammer blow on the abutment on the rear- ward arm pulls spike, spacer and gutter bodily a short dist- ance away from the building wall to which they are attached. Thereupon the device is lifted out of the gutter, which is then pushed back toward the building wall to space the head of the spike and the adjacent portion of its shank away from the forward wall of the gutter. The forward arm of the de- vice is then dropped around this projecting portion of the spike and pulled backward against its head, whereupon hammer blows against the abutment cause the spike to be pulled com- pletely out of the gutter and tubular spacer, which drops into the gutter.
