14 Inch Pinch Bar for Demolition
The Mayhew 479-40000 468 is a heat-treated pry bar built for nail pulling, wrecking and general demolition. Its curved end provides extra leverage in confined spaces while the pointed tip helps align framing members. The tool works across wood, metal and plastic substrates. It is sold new and manufactured in the USA.
Heat-treated steel resists deformation
The bar is heat-treated for maximum strength and durability during heavy prying. No moving parts or power source mean silent operation and zero energy draw. The solid steel construction transfers force directly without flex or vibration. Normal use produces only the sound of material being separated.
Three-piece set covers common lengths
The package includes model 424 at 12 inches with a 7/16 inch tip, model 426 at 16 inches with a 9/16 inch tip and model 428 at 21 inches with an 11/16 inch tip. Varying lengths let you choose reach versus control for each task. Buyers needing a single fixed-length bar or a different tip profile should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How do I position the 14 inch pinch bar's curved end to avoid slipping when prying in a tight spot?
Seat the curved end fully against the workpiece so the radius contacts flat material, then apply steady pressure parallel to the bar; the heat-treated steel resists bending but will slip if the curve only catches an edge.
What wear should I watch for on the pointed alignment end after repeated use?
The pointed end can mushroom or blunt from hammer taps; dress it with a file to restore the taper and inspect the heat-treated shaft for cracks before each job.
Which part of the 14 inch bar reaches its limit first during sustained heavy prying?
The curved fulcrum concentrates force on a small contact patch, so the bar will flex or the workpiece will crush before the heat-treated shaft yields.
