Powerful Tool for Tough Jobs

Would Recommend

I used this bar to tear out my old hardwood flooring. I considered buying a popular wrecking bar that was advertised on YouTube around $125, but started with this bar first. This was perfect for the job... it offered a lot of leverage and power needed for stubborn boards.

Bad warranty service

Would Recommend

The bar is a great bar but like any bar they can break and Lowe’s is such a pain in the rear to return anything even if it has a warranty so never purchase a Lowe’s warranty

Sturdy iron

Would Recommend

Got it to destroy my old deck. It worked wonders and held up great as I was putting it through two days of demolition abuse. I expect that it will be with me a long time.
