Tack lifter

WastedYouth

Not so much a DIY question...

I need to do a click & collect for Woodies and the person collecting hasn’t the time to look around the shop.

The only thing I cannot find for the order is a tack lifter. They are not coming up as out of stock of stock or unavailable - they are not on the site all.

What might they be called other than tack lifter?

Just bend a wide flat headed screwdriver in a vice and file a notch in the end. Sharpen to taste.

Obviously use a screwdriver you can give a bit of a belt to. If the shaft is too hard to bend easily heat it on a gas burner, stove or similar and bend it when hot.

Edit> Tack lifter sounds good to me https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=tack+lifter but you could also try Tack Puller

Thanks for the suggestions. I did consider screwdrivers for the tacks but because the my are straight I couldn’t figure how to manage it - I never thought of altering the screwdriver and it is a good suggestion but fortunately I found someone with more time to search in Woodies tomorrow. In truth making a tack lifter is beyond me.
