Just found this....

I bet they paid a marketing consultant a bag full of money to come up with this snappy name for a cordless drill powered nail puller?

My good man, I have watched 40 seconds of the two minutes before closing the tab. In the time that it takes him to get one out I'd have kicked his butt severely and had anything up to ten or fifteen nails blown out. As for the counterbore thing doodat - there's a chronic waste of timber happening there.
Furthermore, instead of a whirling power drill sound, which is as common as anything, you get a very satisfyling
Phutt DING (but the "ding" is dependent on what or who you aim it at)
Repeat after me (numerous times):
Slip the butt kicker sleeve over the bent nail
Straighten it (more or less will do)
Blow the crap out of it into a bucket
Rinse & repeat
Rinse & repeat
Rinse & repeat

This morning I managed to score two car loads of 75x35 pine from a renovation. Lengths from 600 to 1800, and plenty of them. I would have scored it yesterday but that was Spinner's Day here in Katoomba (aka Winter Magic Festival to celebrate the winter solstice), and I'd have had to run over too many hippies, hippos, weirdos and all other manifest of spinners.
Nails sticking out everywhere in clusters of up to 4.
I'll time how long it takes to do "x" number of nails, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's something like 2 seconds per MAX excluding stick changing time.
Maybe I'll even shoot a video, but I have software problems with my POS P&S camera atm.

Nah, saw at least 2 seconds of the counterbore - that was what made me close the tab.

Holy cow! Where was that nail kicker when I was de-nailing my old floorboards?!?!?!
Wonder if I can fit one into the reno budget anyways...

I did about half of Saturdays score this arvo. It takes about 1 second per nail - the slow bit is slipping the sheath over the nail. Including gathering and changing the sticks I must have blown out ~400 nails in about 60 minutes. There were more plaster board screws than nails to unscrew but there were plenty of nails in each stick......

You're not helping my financial situation here...
Did you order directly off these guys or through something like amazon?

With apologies to Jaff for an extended sidetrack.....
I ordered direct from them. I didn't bother get it sent to my Shipito address as the freight was pretty reasonable. Their service was excellent.
