30-Inch Die Separating Bar
The Mayhew 41285 is a 30 in. hand tool forged from hardened and tempered steel for prying and wrecking tasks. Its black finish resists corrosion while the 3/4 in. thickness and 3 1/2 in. width provide leverage for separating dies or removing nails from lumber and sheathing. A tether-capable design allows secure attachment during overhead or elevated work.
Demolition and Framing Specialists
This bar suits professionals and DIYers who need a dedicated prying tool for heavy timber, formwork or nail extraction. The tether point adds safety for scaffold or roof work. It is not for buyers who want a multi-function claw hammer, a compact pry bar for finished carpentry, or a tool with a striking face for driving stakes.
Simple Hand-Tool Deployment
No assembly is required; the bar is ready to use straight from the package. The hardened steel withstands high leverage but can damage softer materials if the blade slips. Users should ensure the tether is secured before climbing and wear gloves to maintain grip on the smooth black surface.

Questions about this item
What surface or material do I need to pry against for the 30 in. bar to work effectively?
The bar is designed to lever nails out of lumber or sheathing, so a solid wood surface provides the necessary resistance for the prying action.
Will the 3/4 in. thickness fit into the same gaps as my older, thinner pry bars?
At 3/4 in. thick, this bar requires wider openings than thinner models; it excels at heavier demolition where more leverage and durability are needed.
How can I verify the hardened and tempered steel is performing correctly during use?
The bar should resist bending or mushrooming when driving the 3 1/2 in. wide end under nail heads and applying full leverage across the 30 in. length.
