Precision Where It Matters Most: The Mokuba Catspaw excels in the delicate balance between power and control. Its 40mm flat tail provides the ideal bearing surface for trim installation, distributing pressure evenly to prevent crushing or marring that pointed tools cause. Whether you're coaxing baseboard into perfect alignment, adjusting cabinet trim for seamless fits, or carefully extracting nails from irreplaceable vintage woodwork, this tool delivers exactly the right touch. The hardened pipe construction creates a tool that's deceptively strong yet remarkably light, allowing extended use without fatigue while maintaining the structural integrity needed for challenging leverage work.

Japanese Engineering Excellence: At just 190mm overall, the Catspaw accesses spaces where conventional prybars simply won't fit—behind radiators, between closely spaced studs, inside cabinet interiors. The completely press-fit and welded construction eliminates weak points, ensuring lifetime reliability without mechanical connections that could loosen or fail. This bombproof build quality, combined with the tool's slim profile and smooth finish, makes it invaluable for professionals who demand precision tools that protect delicate surfaces while delivering controlled leverage. From furniture making to historical restoration, the Mokuba Catspaw represents the pinnacle of Japanese tool design—maximum functionality achieved through thoughtful engineering rather than excessive material.
