Form Puller I is designed to aid in the removal of 1-1/8" plywood forms.  This tool allows you to safely strip walls up to 12' high while standing on the footing or sub-grade.  No more having to use a ladder or climb on top of the wall to remove your forms!  

Here's how it works- 

The side with the 2" fulcrum tube is used to remove the first form during the stripping process.  Start by attaching the tool to the highest or lowest (if it's a stacked form) stud on the form, use the stud that the latch was hooked to.  When the tool is properly attached, the 2" fulcrum will be pressing against the back of the form next to the one you are trying to remove.  Apply pressure to the far end of the handle.  This action will start to pull the form away from the wall.  Once the form has started to move away from the wall, you can either change the angle of the tool so that the fulcrum tube is now pressing against the steel bar on the back of the form, or, flip the tool over and use the 3" fulcrum end.  This will allow the tool to pull the form farther away from the wall.  Continue by working your way up or down the form, stud by stud, until the form can be removed.  Once the first form is removed, use the end with the 3" fulcrum tube to remove the rest of the forms from the wall, (note that you'll now be pressing the 3" fulcrum against the face of the wall).  For your safety, the head at the opposite end from the end that is being used acts as a knuckle guard.  However, we advise that you wear gloves while using this tool.  

Our field tests have proven that this tool can decrease your stripping time by 50-75%!  In addition, you'll extend the life of your forms because you no longer need to gouge the sides or pry against the face of them.

We recommend buying two of these tools for each crew so that you can strip both sides of the wall at the same time.  You'll also need one of our Form Popper I tools for removing inside corners and the forms closest to them.  And, if you stack your panels, you'll want to buy our Form Puller II because it allows you to more safely remove elevated forms while standing on planking.  These three tools work together as a system (FPT System) and allow you to maximize your production while extending the life of your forms and increasing the safety of you and your crew.


Form Puller II  (International patent pending)

                                          
You'll want to add this tool to your arsenal because it will help you to more quickly and SAFELY remove elevated 1-1/8" plywood forms while standing on planking. Unlike our Form Puller I tool, which you operate by pushing on the handle while facing the wall, this tool is designed so that you can remove elevated forms by pushing on the handle while your back is against the wall.  This keeps you in a much safer position while standing on planking to remove forms.  It is a great compliment to our Form Puller I because it can be used on the upper forms while another crew member is using Form Puller I on the forms that are resting on the footing.  Add a Form Popper I for removing inside corners and you have a trio of tools that will significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to strip a wall, all while extending the life of your forms.

This 10 pound slide hammer is designed to quickly and easily remove inside corners and the forms to the left of them.  Here's how it works-

Use Form Puller I to remove the forms to the right of the inside corner, then use Form Popper I to remove the form to the left of the inside corner.  Here's how to do it.... The slot in the head of Form Popper I slides over an upper stud on the form to the left of the inside corner.  Once it's attached, you position the slide hammer weight as close to the form as possible, then, using both hands, you pull the weight away from the form.  When the weight hits the stop on the shaft it "pops" the form free from the wall.  If necessary, move the tool to the next stud down and repeat the process until the form is removed.  Then snap the ties on the left side of the inside corner.  Now attach the Form Popper I to an upper stud on the corner and "pop" the corner off of the wall.  The corner is removed in a few seconds!!   No more hammering and denting your inside corners to get them off the wall!  
  

Form Puller III  (International patent pending)

Form Puller III is designed to aid in the removal of steel frame plywood face forms while extending the life of the face of the form.  It's used once the first two forms have been removed from the wall using our Form Popper II or II-L tool (see below).  Simply slide the tip of Form Puller III into an upper slot in the side of the frame and then push the handle toward the wall.  This action pulls the top of the form away from the face of the wall quickly and easily.  Then move down to a slot in the middle of the frame to further free up the form, and then move down to a slot near the bottom of the form to complete the removal process.  Using this tool is much better and easier than using a pry bar and hammer to remove your forms.  Place your order today so you can immediately increase your production and stop ruining the face of your forms. 

You'll want to consider buying the two tools below, as well.  Read on to find out why.

These are slide hammer type tools that have a rugged head designed to be used for stripping steel frame plywood face forms and inside corners.  We all know that removing the inside corners and the first form on inside walls is a challenge for all contractors who use this type of form.  So we've invented the tools to make the process much faster, easier and safer.  Our Form Popper II tool removes forms and corners up to 6' tall (whether they are on the footing or stacked/elevated), while the Form Popper II-L tool allows you to strip 8' high forms while standing on the footing or sub-grade.  No more climbing on top of walls to remove forms and inside corners!  Once the first two forms are removed with either of these tools, you then use our Form Puller III to remove the rest of the forms on that wall.  When you get to the inside corners you use your Form Popper to quickly remove them.  These three tools used as a system make stripping your forms much simpler.  And, because you no longer need to pry against the face of the forms to remove them, the life of your form is greatly increased.  The tools pay for themselves quickly because of the increased production they provide and because they make your forms last longer!! 
Use of these tools will immediately increase your production and profits.

These are also slide hammer type tools that come with a head designed to be used for stripping Symons, Western, Durand and other brands of aluminum forms.  Form Popper III is used on short forms, and Form Popper III-L is used for removing 8'-9' forms while standing on the footing or sub-grade.  The stud on the head simply goes into the hole in the frame of the form.  The shock created by this tool "pops" the form free from the wall.  It's a big help in removing the first form on an inside wall and when working in tight spaces. 

Form Popper IV & V (International patents pending)

These slide hammer style tools are designed for removing Gates and other 
plywood style concrete forms up to 1-1/8" thick, and can also be used to remove inside corners.  Use Form Popper IV on 8' forms and inside corners because of its long handle and angled head.  Use Form Popper V on 6' and shorter forms, it's a shorter tool with a straight head.  The head simply slides on to the top edge of the form, then all you do is slide the weight on the tool away from the wall until it hits the stop on the shaft of the tool.  The shock created by Form Popper IV & V easily removes the form from the wall, often in one or two pulls, and without damaging the plywood.  Best of all, you'll be able to strip your forms while standing on the footing.  No more climbing on top of the wall or working off of a ladder!  

Form Puller IV (International patent pending)
This tool is designed for removing Arch-Crete architectural forms quickly and easily without damaging the wall.  Form Puller IV is especially effective in pulling the first form off the wall, and can then be used to remove the remaining forms on the wall.  Form Puller IV is part of a four tool system for stripping Arch-Crete forms.  If you own these forms these tools are a must!  Read on. 


Form Popper VI & VII (International patents pending)
Those of you who use the Arch-Crete architectural forming system know that it is sometimes difficult to strip the forms because the bottom of the form gets hung up on the wall.  Well, our Form Popper VII is the solution to that problem!  Simply attach the tool to the bottom of the form and pull the slide weight toward you.  The bottom of the form is quickly and easily pulled away from the wall.  No more struggling to remove the form, Form Popper VII gets it done in seconds!
                                                                   
                                                                                    Form Popper VII

Form Popper VI is designed for pulling the center ties out of the wall.  It can be used before or after the forms have been removed, and is most effective when the wall is still green.  If you don't normally remove these ties, now you have the option to do so.  If removing them isn't important to you, then use it to remove ties that spin in the wall when you try to snap the end off.  Simply slide the head of the tool over the end of the tie and pull the slide weight toward you, the shock created by the tool quickly pulls the tie out of the wall.

Form Popper VI


Form Folder I (International patent pending)
Here's the fourth tool in our line for removing Arch-Crete architectural forms.  Form Folder I is designed for removing those difficult to remove inside corners.  This ratchet strap style tool "folds" the form by pulling the sides towards each other.  Once the form is folded sufficiently by using the appropriate number of straps (anywhere from 1-3 straps, depending on the texture of the form) it easily comes out of the corner.  We've removed a River Rock pattern inside corner in two minutes.  How long does it take you?  You NEED this tool!
