A spike puller apparatus comprises a subframe, a pair of opposed puller arms for engaging with spikes to be pulled via a replaceable puller tool mounted on the end of each puller arm, a pair of horizontal shafts and an actuator to selectively translate each puller arm with respect to one another, an actuator to articulate each respective puller arm for pulling spikes, an A-frame connected to the subframe to resist and/or apply pulling forces to a spike being pulled, and a vertical actuator connected to the A-frame to cause the vertical slide carrier to move up and down along the pair of vertical shafts to effect a spike pulling operation. The respective puller arms are independently controllable, and may be selectively staggered with respect to one another along a rail to allow selective independent and/or simultaneous pulling of rail spikes and/or anchor spikes on opposite sides of the rail.

A wallet includes a first shell with one or more openings on a shell perimeter adapted to clip one or more objects to the one or more openings; and a second shell coupled to the first shell, the second shell including a storage compartment; and first and second rails on each side of the second metal shell to slideably receive one or more cards in the storage compartment.

An embedded element pulling apparatus, the apparatus comprises a pair of linear guides separated by a width, each linear guide having a length and an inner guide surface, the inner guide surface angled to form a closing ramp at the grasping end. A jaw is paired with each linear guide; each jaw is engaged to follow along the inner guide surface. Each jaw may have an interchangeable grasping tooth. A lock assembly is integrated to lock and unlock the jaws. A carriage cooperatively couples the jaws and the lock assembly. A positioning actuator engages with the carriage to position the jaws along the length of the linear guides and a drive actuator engages with the carriage to close the jaws, pull the embedded element, and open the jaws. A motive device may drive the positioning actuator and drive actuator.

A portable railroad spike remover comprises an extractor that is shaped to engage and secure a railroad spike previously installed into a rail tie. A drive shaft is connected to the extractor such that as the drive shaft is rotated, the extractor is vertically raised and lowered within a main column. The extractor may have an opening extending through at least one side to engage the railroad spike.

A nail-removing device operatively associable with a pneumatic nail driver, affording a method of improving the pneumatic nail driver. The nail-removing device has a shaft extending between a nail end and a driver end. The nail end provides an engagement portion for engaging the underside of a nail. The driver end provides a stabilizing interface configured to operatively associate with the pneumatic nail driver so as to prevent lateral movement of the pneumatic nail driver relative to the stabilizing interface. The engagement portion and the stabilizing interface may be spaced apart from the shaft in the same direction.

A pry bar assembly that has a removable handle includes a handle that may be manipulated. A prying unit is provided and the prying unit is removably coupled to the handle. The prying unit may engage an object thereby facilitating the prying unit to move the object when the handle is manipulated.

A multifunctional tool which may be used for rivet removal, as well as other applications includes a prybar member coupled to a punch member, wherein the prybar creates a handle that holds the punch enabling the user to distance the punch from his/ her hand when striking the punch with a hammer. In certain embodiments, the tool further comprises at least one nail pull slot at the claw of the prybar element. In some embodiments, the tool also provides a chisel end, which may be used by striking the handle at an end opposite the chisel end.
