Recently required a peg puller, but gave up on the ones normally available as more often than not they just bend.

I then came up with the idea of modifying a small utility bar which I bought from Toolstation (other suppliers are available),

I drilled the hole in the flat bar out so that a peg would fit through and then opened up the slot in the bent end with a angle grinder so that it would fit a peg, I now have a peg puller strong enough to remove pegs and putting a spare peg through the hole allows the peg to be used as a handle.

Total cost was £3.19 plus 5 minutes of my time.

obviously people do use a 'normal' claw hammer but IMHO they're not big or heavy enough to knock a peg into the ground, especially hard/stony ground. I use a 4lb lump hammer to knock them in instead. I made a puller years ago but lost it, so in the mean time pegs are removed by a few knocks side ways & pull/hook them out with AN Other peg.

I always preferred a claw hammer as easier to use. Easier to increase contact speed at the head and far easier on the joints. East extraction with the claw with the design giving easy leverage
