What is this tool called?

Question

It's like a crowbar with a screwdriver handle.

I have found one called KM-569-A, but I need one for a job, and I have no idea what its called!

Image:

A black-and-white line drawing of the tool in question, perhaps from a manual or a catalog. The tool has a round, fluted handle like a screwdriver and a shaft that widens and flattens into a split head meant for prying something.

So, What is this called?

That is a nail-puller or tack-puller (more commonly tack-puller with the screwdriver-type handle). You can get similar function from a "cats-paw"

The tool you want is called a "tack puller". A search in Google will show a plethora of styles.

Similar tools are also available for automotive trim removal. They are often called "automotive trim removal tool" (go figure, eh...)
