ANGEL GUARD PRODUCTS The Deck Demon

Makes short work of pulling roof decking on a 110 year old house. Bit heavy but will out last me. They had nails back then, not air nails that almost fall out with a small amount of effort

Easy to use,it made my job removing deck boards fast with no bending.Use the nail puller to pull screws from moist with ease! Highly recommended. Great demo tool!

I had two decks on the same sight to re-top, one I used a hammer and wrecking bar to take apart and one I used two of these. I got the second bigger deck taken apart in about 1/4 of the time and I didn’t even need gloves, the leverage makes all the difference and it didn’t bend. Best 2new tools I bought this year.

I recently removed wood planks from an almost 1,000 square foot deck. The planks were screwed (not nailed) to the joists. I started out trying to dig through the layers of paint with a utility knife to find the screw heads and remove the screws. It was very slow, tedious work. And a high percentage of the screw heads stripped out and couldn't be removed after I found them. With literally thousands of screws to remove, I quickly started looking for my plan B.The deck demon was a game changer. I assumed it would work on planks attached with nails, but I was concerned about the screws. There was no need to worry. This tool made removing the old deck boards a fast and (almost) easy job. I did have to apply quite a bit of pressure because of the screws, but this tool is a beast and there is no way I could have damaged or broke it. Despite the old wood being rotten in some places and extremely dry and brittle in others (from sun exposure), I probably salvaged at least half of the deck boards. I would expect to salvage almost 100% of planks that are nailed on. About half of the screws came out with the boards. But the ones that pulled through the plank and stayed in the joist could easily be removed with the deck demon. And you are standing upright through the whole process so it is easy on the back and on the knees.The only complaint (and it is a small one) is that the tool relies on the plank being on both sides of the joist you are prying against. (And luckily it almost always is). But when you get to the end of a row, or if you have cut a plank at the joist for some reason, you cannot get much leverage with only one side of the tool under a plank. When you pry it twists and is somewhat ineffective. Like I say, a minor complaint versus the considerable value the deck demon brings to the job.It seemed a little pricey when I ordered it, but once I saw the bulk and quality of the took, I knew it was worth the money. I can see using this tool for many future projects and not just for deck removal. It is a big, heavy-duty pry bar, optimized for deck destruction. For me, it was well worth the cost.

Used this to take apart a 12' x 26' deck and it was just great.
