A multipurpose hand tool comprising:
- an elongated body portion which forms a handle, said elongated body portion having a top end and a bottom end, said top end having a tool head fixedly attached thereon, said tool head having a first end, a second end, an outwardly extending protrusion, a downwardly extending protrusion, and a flat top section, said first end being shaped to form a hammer head, said second end being shaped to form a waffle hammer head, said hammer head and said waffle hammer head being opposed to each other, said outwardly extending protrusion having a multitude of various angular V-shaped extracting claws, said flat top section having nail support means thereon, said downwardly extending protrusion having fastener extracting means thereon which is formed from a cutout, said cutout being cut so as to form the shape of a partial star interconnected with a teardrop and said partial star forming at least two biting teeth which are bent outwardly away from said tool head,
- whereby:
- when said at least two biting teeth are positioned over a fastener with said fastener being embedded within a support structure, said at least two biting teeth bite into said support structure and force said fastener to partially disengage from said support structure,
