Fastener removal tool

A tool for removal of fasteners having an exposed head with a flange and a projecting stud from the head that effects attachment of the fastener to a substrate, said tool comprising, in combination:

• a molded handle having a longitudinal axis;
• a rod member projecting axially from the molded handle, said rod member including a handle end for attachment of the molded handle and a distal working end for engagement under a flange of a headed fastener to pry the fastener from a substrate, said rod member further including an axial segment having a substantially uniform cross section, said axial segment including at least one projecting prong at the molded handle end;
• and
• a fulcrum member including an axial throughpassage and axial slots in the passage to permit axial sliding movement of the fulcrum member onto the axial segment of the rod member from the molded handle end, said fulcrum member extending radially from the axial segment to provide an axially adjustable fulcrum support for the tool upon placement of the working end on a fastener head.
