We're remodelling a basement and need to remove hard cut (masonry) nails
that are along side a window. There is no way to reach the nails with a
hammer, so pulling them out or pounding them flush is not an option. (They
are in the concrete block wall around a window frame and we need to remove
them to slide sheetrock or paneling into the space.)

Are there saw blades that will cut through them?

Grind them off.

There's no way to get a grinder near them. I have about a 3/4" clearance.

How about something like this? Works in tight places and generate a bunch of
pulling force.

Can you get a Sawzall blade in there? If so, that would cut them off
quickly. You would want the blade made for steel.
