RATCHET PULLER FOR NAILS AND STAPLES ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION A ratchet puller for nails and staples in accordance with this invention includes a ratchet lever or bar having a ratchet mechanism at one end with a tool mounting stud extending from the ratchet mechanism, and a pry tool for mounting thereon which includes a claw portion having a wedge slot for receiving the shanks of nails, spikes and similar items to be pried out of a piece of wood or other structure they are embedded in and which may include a pointed tip or stab to hook under the bight portion of staples and similar items for prying out of whatever they are embedded in. The pry tool includes a peripheral bearing surface to serve as a fulcrum when the ratchet lever or bar is moved causing the wedge slot, or pointed tip, of the tool to lift the nail shank, or staple as the case may be. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the field of tools and other devices for pulling nails, spikes, tacks, staples and the like from pieces of wood or other structures in which they are embed- ded. The prior art includes a variety of tools for this purpose of many difference shapes and designs to grip the head o a nail or spike, or its shank and to then pry it out by leverage of the handle or bar. One problem that already known devices have not been able to solve effectively is that of reaching into a small space to grasp the head or shank of a nail for pulling it out wherein there is not enough room to move the handle or bar portion of the tool sufficiently to pry the nail out. The ratchet bar and pry tool mounted thereon in accordance with this inven- tion is able to raise the nail in small step by step increments by reciprocating the ratchet handle or bar back and forth what- ever short distances the small space allows.
