   Great multi faceted tool. Easy to handle, but heavy duty. Use as a hammer, nail puller and great for prying.

   This pry bar is heavy at 3.5 lbs and well made. I got it to remove an old deck. I really like the adjustable jaws to wrench the boards to loosen them and then pull the nails without futzing with a second board to prop up the nail puller.The pry bar end not as easy to use. The 16″ pry bar is a bit too short for good leverage – I’d recommend the 24″ model of this tool if the pry bar will be used a lot. The end of the pry bar is also more blunt than my other pry bars, making it harder to wedge between nailed boards. Finally, you have to hold the pry bar by the nail extractor, a somewhat awkward grip.One other thing I noticed – one of the nails I was pulling was rusty and the head folded up and slipped out of the puller when I tried to extract it. I tried it a couple of more times without success before giving up. At that point I noticed that the edge of the slot in the nail extractor had bent when the nail slipped through, making the slot wider and leaving a rough edge on the underside. The rough edge filed off with a few strokes of the file.The tool has a lifetime warranty, so while I’m going to be careful about pulling nails with bad or small heads, I’ll have the tool replaced if the slot widening becomes an issue.

   I’ve never handled a more versatile pry bar. There’s a jaw that adjusts up and down so you can set the jaws around lumber of any dimension to twist, pry, straighten, leverage, etc.. and both sides of the jaw have thick rigid teeth for secure traction on the material. When the jaws are closed together, you can use it as a hammer. The grip on the tool even gives you a hammer-like feel. It’s heavy for a hammer, but it gets the job done (with a few extra rattles). Remember when you used to grab an extra piece of wood to shove under your hammer head when you had to pry out those stubborn long nails? No more. Adjust the jaw to the height of the nail and pop that nail out with one tool. Look along the adjustable length of the jaws and you’ll even see marks with measurements etched into the handle. That allows you to pre-adjust the jaw distance to an exact width of the material you’re working with. Clever! Flip the tool to the other end and you have a traditional pry bar. The pry bar tips are fairly blunt so it’s difficult to use with tight fitting objects, but this is a demo tool. You’ll need more delicate tools if you want to re-purpose your demo materials. It’s not quite long enough to give great leverage, but the longer the handle the less likely you’ll use it as a hammer. All-in-all, this tool is a most have for demo and decking. Brilliant design!

   Nice handheld size. Heavy – could be used for hammering just as well.

   This is a well made adjustable pry bar with nail puller. This tool is made out of cast iron which makes it extremely strong, super durable and on the heavy side. I like that its a 2 in 1 tool so its one less tool in the tool box. However, I feel its a bit too heavy to put in my tool box. This tool makes it a breeze pulling out nails. I just used this tool pulling out old nails out of stockade fence with ease. I just wish this tool was a bit lighter. This tool will last forever. Its definitely worth getting.

   Best board twister I’ve ever used. Parallel gripping jaws adjust in 1/2 inch increments to grip single to triple studs, joists and 4x material. The cat’s paw nail puller works well too. By extending the jaws you can adjust the angle of leverage you get for nail pulling – similar to using blocks under a claw hammer for leverage – only better. The handle is comfortable too and makes it easy to get a good grip.Seems solid enough, I have had no problems with it so far.

   I worked doing rough framing, more years ago than I want to remember. This bar would have been carried by most rough framers then as it will be when they find it. It is a great improvement over the other nail pullers and pry-bars that are twice the size. Its use goes much farther than that of a nail puller. The adjustable jaws are perfect for pulling and twisting your lumber into alignment, prior to securing. Unfortunately I found the length just short of sizing 16 inches on center when twisting a stud into position. With its striking face, adjustable pulling height, adjustable stud grabbing capability and cushioned handle making using it a real pleasure. It is a new must have for anyone doing framing of any size from the doll house to the room add-on.

   This little monster is heavy and durable. Has a button to adjust to the leverage you need to remove nails. Came in handy in tight corners to remove cross bars in an outside porch wall that needed replaced without tearing up the surrounding boards. And the other end is flat, so it can be used as a hammer if the need arises. Definitely recommended for the tool shop!

    I love this tool. It works very well as a hammer, very well for prying and straightening. Pulls nails out easily, and does everything it says on the tin. The one downside however is that adjusting the jaws is incredibly tough and the button needs to be pressed just right. But once the tool is set, it stays very well. Measurements on side are decently accurate, and very helpful. I carry this around if I’m not very sure what tools I will need because it is good at doing a little bit of everything. Yeah, you could probably get better tools that cover one function, but for those times where you need multiple functions, this tool is MUCH better than carrying around multiple tools.

    This tool is really several excellent tools all in one and it’s solid metal that won’t break easily.
