Alignment bar for prying and wrecking
This 18-inch chrome-steel bar is built for nail pulling, wrecking and general prying tasks. Its chisel point and offset straight end provide leverage in tight framing or demolition work. The tool suits trade professionals and serious DIYers who need a single rugged bar for heavy leverage.
Through-hardened chrome steel at 35-40 HRC
The bar is fully through-hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 35-40 HRC, which determines whether it will hold an edge and resist bending under extreme prying loads. This heat-treatment level is the single specification that decides if the bar matches the demands of structural demolition versus lighter finish work.
Sustained prying without permanent deformation
Under continuous leverage the hardened chrome steel resists permanent bending, keeping the chisel point aligned for repeated nail pulls and timber separation. The material absorbs shock from hammer strikes on the struck end while the offset geometry maintains leverage through long demolition sessions.

Questions about this item
How does the 18 in length affect leverage in real use?
The 18 in length gives a long lever arm for prying and alignment tasks, multiplying hand force at the chisel or point end.
What does the 5/8 in diameter mean for fit on a pegboard or holder?
The 5/8 in diameter requires a holder or peg hole sized for that shaft; it will not fit standard 1/4 in or 3/8 in pegboard hooks.
What clearance is needed to store the straight offset ends?
The straight offset chisel and point ends lie flat, so a drawer or rack depth of at least 18 in accommodates the full bar without bending.
