Great bar

Useful and great value bar, this. But it isn't indestructible.. I'm not that strong but trying to dismantle a solid Euro-style Pallet, when applying too much leverage I could feel the hook end starting to bend. I had a go with a bolster (fat chisel for bricks) first which started things off, allowing this tool to lift the boards. Just one corner was so well secured that I had to use a plug cutter to drill around the nails first.instead. Still, highly recommended for pulling things apart or pulling nails. Whichever end you're driving in, it can be whacked with a hammer. I would suggest a club hammer for a bit of extra clout. Only loses a star as it's more bendy than, say, a jemmy but I guess that's expected p'raps due to the flat shape.

Lovely little crowbar; initially thought I'd gone for one too short but this the 18" size surprisingly sturdy, with very little flex, and it doesn't take a lot of effort to get some serious leverage and pressure. I used it to dismantle an old fence and this ripped through it in no time. The bar is well designed, and very easy to use. The tips are quite sharp (they come with rubber stoppers) which is great for prying into small gaps - I also used the ends to scrape moss off, which it also did with ease. The main body of the bar has an 'grainy' emboss-style finish which gives it some good grip, especially with worker gloves. Both ends are rock solid, and the hooked side is also a useful tool for moving / grabbing / lifting things. The only time I was getting any flex out of it was trying to pry out large/deep/rusty nails, which it did struggle with a bit. The 'Nail Remover' slot at one end is a good idea, but could have been a bit wider: I found the fork in each of the ends to be more effective for bigger nails. Overall, a great tool, and unbelievable price (£7 with Prime shipping). Next job is ripping up some pallets, which I'm kind of looking forward to now!

Love it! Used in to demolish sheds, fences and stud walls. Have also used it as a digging tool in the garden. Really strong and durable so will last years

I bought this to remove a house full of skirting boards and architrave. Both ends were used which gave me a few options which was great. The skirting was nailed and glued but i had no issues removing it. I did over stress it a few times but I knew when to back it off! Okay for removing nails bit if the head is gone its going to struggle just like a claw hammer would! Highly recommended at this price point. Great quality should last me a good few demo jobs.

Da provare, però a primo impatto è bello solido e resistente. Vi terrò aggiornati dopo il primo furto 😂

Je l'avais acheter pour un changement de tuiles plates sur le toit. L'outil a rempli parfaitement son usage.

Bon produit , très satisfait.

Robustissimi, ben fatto e rifinito. Arriva benconfezionato e con gli spigoli protetti per non arrecare danni nel trasporto. Sicuramente consigliato.

Un Pen fragile, il s est légèrement tordu lors de l utilisation...
