Goldblatt moulding remover - New tool in the shed

[Noyade]

Bought this yesterday from Bunnings.

Looks interesting and I'll give it a go soon.

Cheers.

Hi @Noyade,

I have seen these floating around the net for a while now and have been intrigued. I imagine they'd be most effective when used right behind the nails and over a stud.

Let me know how you go, I'm interested to see what you think.

Hi @Noyade 

A few years ago during my last renovation, I bought one of those tools though in a different brand to yours as I needed to over time remove all the skirts. So, like @JacobZ I'll be interested to know what your experience will be like. 

I found it will still indent the plasterboard, especially if there is no stud behind. This isn't a problem if the indents will be concealed by taller arcs. I also found that the tool bent after several uses. So, I ended developing a technique that I still prefer to use is once breaking the seal of the paint of prying boards vertically up from the floor. It can take a bit to get started when there is carpet, so I'll use a sharp chisel to get things started before moving to my leverage tools.

Hope you have a great experience.
