Abstract
A hand tool for use in removing a pintle from a door hinge, comprising a rigid, barrel with a slotted aperture enclosing a push rod affixed to a base adapted to thrust the pintle out of a door hinge when the tool is placed against the door hinge pintle and struck with a blunt object. A viewing window is defined by the barrel for providing proper visual alignment and placement of the push rod against the door hinge pintle. The base includes a notch for use in removing hinge pintle caps.
