Does anyone know an easy way of extracting concrete nails hammered into Concrete blocks please?

You can pull them out with a block behind the hammer head to lever off . The nail should come out and pull a great lump of concrete with it. Most people would just wiggle the nail till it snaps off,you may then be able to punch it below the surface with any luck.

Good cordless drill. Nail will either spin & you can pull it out or snap off.

Good idea to wear eye protection. Those "concrete" nails can break off with a lot of force. They are a high tensile hardened steel and they fracture rather than break. Well the old ones I've removed in the past did.
