The Benner-Nawman BNFTSPN Stake Puller is a great safety tool that will help in the removal of concrete forming stakes.  The BNFTSPN model comes with a duplex nail pulling attachment for easy removal.

The tool is easy to use – a worker can simply place the head of the tool against the stake and lift the handles. The rollers grip the stake and this allows the user to rotate the stake back and forth, breaking the surface tension around the stake.  The stake can then be removed easily from the ground by using your leg muscles rather than straining your back.
