ABSTRACT:
A T-post puller claw for pulling a T-post out of the ground includes a claw body having a first panel, a second panel, and an included angle therebetween. The first panel defines a triangular opening to slide over a T-post. The second panel defines a keyhole opening for receiving a length of chain and a first chain-securing slot. The second panel further defines a second chain-securing slot. When a length of chain is threaded into the T-post puller claw, one chain link is received by the first slot and a different chain link is received by the second slot. When a lifting force is applied to the length of chain, the T-post puller claw pivots into a clamping configuration against the T-post, enabling the T-post to be pulled out of the ground.
