The Tekton Probe is made from AISI 8650 steel hardened to 50–54 HRC and bent to shape. The probe tapers to a 0.375 inch long straight tip that’s 0.06 inches in diameter and fits into 1/16 inch holes. Two "wings" on the base of the blade help it resist being twisted or pulled out of the handle. The classic square handle is long and slender with contoured sides for overall versatility and maneuverability. The AISI 8650 steel shaft is made from a strong Ni-Cr-Mo alloy that's hardened to 50–54 HRC. The handle is made from glass-reinforced nylon that's resistant to fuels, oils, and chemicals. Our family of mini pry bar, pick, and hook products is made entirely in Michigan with only USA-sourced materials. Machining, bending, coining, handle molding, and press-fitting the handle and blade take place at our Grand Rapids, Michigan manufacturing facility.
