Abstract
A leverage tool for removing a drywall from studs includes a handle and a U-shaped body defining tines connected to a cross bar spaced to receive one of the studs therebetween. The tines are curved so that the rear face is convex for engaging against the drywall. The handle is connected to the cross bar at a right angle and includes a lockable swivel coupling allowing the handle to rotate about an axis along the cross bar in a plane at right angles to the cross bar so as to change an angle of the handle relative to the tines. The tines include a substantially flat portion adjacent the base and a curved end portion. A pointed abutment is provided on the end of the handle at the swivel coupling on the cross bar for engaging into the stud to prevent sliding relative to the stud.
Claims19
A leverage tool for removing a sheet material from supporting studs comprising:
- a handle;
- and
- a generally U-shaped body including a pair of spaced apart tines connected to a cross bar so that the times extend in parallel arrangement away from the cross bar to a remote end of the tine for engagement of the pair of tines side by side into a position behind the sheet material;
- the tines being spaced by a distance to receive one of the studs therebetween;
- the tines having a front face and a rear face and being curved so as that the front face is concave and the rear face is convex for engaging against the sheet material;
- wherein the handle is connected to and extends from the cross bar at a right angle to the cross bar;
- wherein the cross bar includes a lockable swivel coupling allowing the handle to rotate about an axis along the cross bar in a plane at right angles to the cross bar so as to change an angle of the handle relative to the tines.
