Favorite Prybar

[TheTreeSpyder]

i find lots of uses for a good prybar around larger wood. i've bent, messed up tips on prybars, thrown, gave away etc.

i had one of these before and it disappeared after years. Went thru a number of other prybars before i found this one again. Strong shape tubular steel, farily light for strength shape gives it. And the 'nose' tip is flat and wide giving great strength.

Doesn't quite fit in a 3/8 kerf though, but close! Strong, Klein tool for work, missed it while it was gone!

Ive found that a Truck lock ring remover works great for a variety of applications
Although i cant find a could picture of one
there 30" long have a hook on 1 end and flat on the other.

I've got a 6' pry bar in the truck(usually buried under chips) but what I tend to use is a mill dog(short cant hook) and a grubbing hoe. The grubbing hoe blade will slip into a kerf and the ax side serves as a camming pivot point to pop stuff loose with a little pressure on the stout hickory handle.

Kenny, doesn't the fire department use something very similar to the bar you have shown in the picture there?

One of those big fat old screw drivers with a bent tip. Bout 2 feet long.

Hav not seen it for around 2 years since a groundie said he put it in the back of the truck, then dumped.
