The bar is extremely well made, versatile, and much more useful than standard bars

I bought to pull 6 inch nails from solid oak 6in x 8in posts. The adjustable head gave the extra leverage to pull the thick & rusted nails out. Sturdy & lives up to the Crescent brand quality.

This is no low quality flea market tool. This thing is nice! I’m very impressed with the way it’s made. I wish I’d had one of these years ago. It’s size and the places that you can use it make it very handy to have. It’s adjustable, so it’ll fit and get into places you need it to go. Very high quality steel that you don’t have to worry about whether it’ll hold up or not. Great from ripping nails or boards. Some bars come up short, but this one will adjust to fit the job. Just wish I’d had it years ago.

I have no less than ten pry bars of various designs. They each have their uses. I have a Craftsman with an pivoting angle that I thought was really innovative but it hasn’t been quite as useful as I had assumed it would be. For me, anyway. Other than that bar, this is the only one that I’ve seen with an innovative adjustable design. I REALLY like not just THAT the head slides up and down, but HOW it does so. A heavy duty spring loaded push pin is used for positive stops using a series of notches. I can only speculate, but it does appear that this will hold up over time. The nail puller with the adjustable head is a fantastic idea! Watch the short video on Home Depot’s site and you WILL agree!Personally I’m not a huge fan of the handle material, but I can live with it.If you read the reviews for this item on HD and other sellers you’ll see nothing but praise. I hate that I can’t simply buy the largest unit because you really do need different sizes for different tasks.I highly recommend this pry bar in at least two sizes.

Works great. Very handy having the dual function of a nail puller and something that can twist a stud or joist into place.

This is not a “nice” tool. It is made for “ugly jobs”. Busting out studs and spikes when re-modeling. Wrenching warped studs into square when building. And it does these ugly jobs nicely.It works really-really good. You can just pry things. You can also set the jaw to fit 2X or 4X lumber and really get a grip, to twist-out a warp or twist-off an unwanted stud. The 2-foot handle gives real leverage. The padded handle will take a strain without hurting my old hands. The nail puller works GREAT once you have a little space under the head, very handy for de-nailing scrap lumber for safe re-use or disposal.

My son (47) was given this for a Xmas present. He right away was thinking of so many uses for it.He kept going back to it and using the adjustment. I had seen the ad on TV and always like to getHim something that is new. I was ver.y happy that he liked it.Mom

I took a down a house last spring and used this tool frequently. The weight and strike plate are effective for busting through paneling, although the button snags on materials from time to time. The adjustable head feature lets you twist studs out and has great grip on wood surfaces. It can pry nails most lengths, and the claw teeth have held up really well. The rubberized grip makes the work more comfortable. It makes a great addition to the tool collection, and I’d recommend it.

This high quality pry bar has multiple functions all in one. It has a regular pry bar on one end with a nail puller, it has a hammer striking surface, the top adjustable jaw is also a nail puller and the adjustable jaws can clamp onto various sized wood to remove it (demolition). Both jaws have teeth for powerful gripping. The jaws open up to 12 1/2″ but only lock at 5 1/2″ wide. The handle is padded for safe warm handling. For a female, I would suggest the 18″ version of this tool. It does get heavy after using it awhile. I have been unable to break loose a large bolt on my older model lawn tractor. I used this tool, closing the jaws onto the bolt and my neighbor and I both pull on the handle and finally broke the bolt loose. This is one tough tool with a lot of uses.

I confess, all I really needed was a basic pry bar. I have an old fence I’m adding on to and wanted to remove one panel of stockade fence, sink an extra post and then put the panel back on. I also make tire planters and needed something I could use like a dowel to help make the slicing a little easier. I don’t go around wrecking houses (though I can think of a couple nearby I’d like to) or pulling up floorboards. But I’m such a sucker for multipurpose tools. I watched the video online and was hooked. My compliments to the advertiser. So this tool is overkill for me, but I still had fun trying it out. It actually worked very well as a dowel with the heavy end down. Gave me good leverage. The fence, though, is old. I started out using this but switched to a hammer for a lighter touch to keep me from breaking the wood. The nails were rusted and broke off anyway. The clamp opens up and locks from about 1/2 inch to a little over 5″ , but you can open it up all the way to the red handle if you want. Just no teeth to lock it there but still doesn’t move much. You can use the end like a hammer which might come in handy for overhead, but a good framing hammer is wider and would work better. There is a nail puller on that end that works with bigger nails if they’re sticking out a bit already. It is too thick to pull a nail that’s in there tight. Don’t think this would be good for bringing up molding or trim if you want to reuse the wood. The pry bar end is what it is and is set close to the red hand grip. The hand grip is not adjustable and is wide enough for my two small hands or one big manly hand. The tool overall is quite heavy and feels substantial. There is no magnetized part. I did not break it while testing it out. I’m small and if I had to pick over again, would go with the smaller Crescent model. My son asked me to get this one so he could borrow it. He can’t have it though. It’s my multipurpose tool.

works great, however, an 18′ would work better in order not to get too tired while working.

Our shop burned to the ground before we ever got to try this, but it looked awesome out of the package. We plan to buy another one to demolish the ashes. It looked and felt really tough and ready to work.

The first feature my husband noted on this tool was the comfortable rubber grip handle. He says that it makes the tool easier to use and safer, as his hands do no slip. The pry bar also has adjustable jaws that easily grip boards for removal. My husband said that the nail extractor was a very nice feature and allowed him to take the nails out of the boards with precision during the demo.Although he has not used the hammer head for driving nails, he said that it is a very nice feature to the product. The hammer head is large and with the weight of the tool, should be very useful.This pry bar will be used for many years, since the construction is very sturdy and nicely fashioned. He is very pleased with this product.

This thing is awesome at pulling nails out of a deck. If you think you might need this, buy it. The feature of distancing the foot from the nail puller works really well to apply good leverage in just the right way to get tough nails out. Combine this with a rubber mallet to pull out logs of nails with relative ease.

This is not your dads pry bar this is extremely heavy duty. It is so well made I cant think of a normal situation where you could ever break it.It is heavy and is well designed from what looks like cold roll steel.The grip is plastic with a rubberized overlay. Graduations are etched into the shank from 0 to 5.5 inches and are easy to read.The only Con(not much of one) is the button to slide the claw is very stiff and hard to push,I am hoping over time this will become easier to push.This is one tough cookie and will probably last long enough to pass down to your great great grand kids.

I used this adjustable pry bar to install about 600 sqf of hardwood flooring. It comes in very handy when closing up gaps at the end of a run by the walls and during the last three or so runs before the wall. The adjustability makes this job a lot easy over a normal pry bar. Made to last.
