I have worked as a carpenter off and on for years and have used all kinds of pry bars from old crow bars, the Wonder Bar in the ’80s and various Stanley pry bars since. <\/p>\n
I happened upon this Crescent pry bar while browsing through the hand tool department at my local Home Depot, an activity I indulge in when my wife is not with me. I played around with the indexing feature and realized that this bar could be used in very cramped quarters because the handle can be positioned in 16 different positions. <\/p>\n
I bought the bar and immediately found several jobs for it. I had some spikes that I needed to remove from the side of a floor joist. They were large and rusty and in a position where I couldn’t use a conventional pry bar. I grabbed the Crescent bar, set the handle angle so it would fit between the joists and quickly removed the spikes. <\/p>\n
Even though the handle angle changes, you still have the long handle that provides a lot of force at the claw. The indexing mechanism snaps positively into position and is well constructed. I wish I had owned this tool decades ago. It’s become an indispensable part of my tool collection. They also make a 30 in. model<\/a>.<\/p>\n Head indexes over 180 Degrees and locks in 16 positions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27234"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27234"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27234\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27257,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27234\/revisions\/27257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
