Advantages

Its shape concentrates force at the contact point to reduce surface damage, and the hand-friendly grip improves handling during prolonged tasks. The tool is suitable for different fastening methods, enabling removal of strips fixed with nails, adhesive, or clips without requiring excessive force.

Key specifications

How to use

Position the narrow edge of the GEKO Floor Molding Remover between the skirting and the wall or floor at a suitable point near a joint or seam. Apply steady leverage by pressing the handle to lift the skirting progressively, moving along its length to free nails or adhesive. For long runs, work in short increments to avoid excessive bending of the molding and to keep control of the pry angle. If nails resist, use a controlled tapping motion with a hammer on the tool’s heel to ease the fasteners free, taking care to protect adjacent surfaces as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads or a thin piece of scrap wood between the tool and finished surfaces to further reduce risk of marking. Wear eye protection and gloves while working. For strong adhesives, consider applying a release agent or heat to soften the bond before prying. Inspect the skirting periodically as you work to avoid cracking or splintering.
