Edges dig into soft paint and moldings. The nail puller slot is an afterthought that distracts from the usefulness of the wide blade. A bit more finesse would improve this tool, and all others like it. Punching nails through moldings should be more popular. I'm surprised that the lowly pin punch isn't in every tool kit. I use a stud-funder magnet to locate hidden nail heads. Expensive moldings and finish work can be saved.
