Good quality tool. Decent size and functional bit of kit

This is a great item. For the cost of a little over ten pounds I was able to dismantle my old shed ahead of a new one being delivered. It's a great shape, lightweight and easy to use, but tough and versatile with the two different ends. I'm not a workman, I'm a woman in my late sixties, but this made the impossible possible for me.

It did its job. I probably need a longer one for a bit more leverage on pallets. Well made, no complaints.

I bought this to remove a house full of skirting boards and architrave. Both ends were used which gave me a few options which was great. The skirting was nailed and glued but i had no issues removing it. I did over stress it a few times but I knew when to back it off! Okay for removing nails bit if the head is gone its going to struggle just like a claw hammer would! Highly recommended at this price point. Great quality should last me a good few demo jobs.

Good strong pry bar good at nail removal from floor boards.Sharply ground edge good for scraping edges

Lovely little crowbar; initially thought I'd gone for one too short but this the 18" size surprisingly sturdy, with very little flex, and it doesn't take a lot of effort to get some serious leverage and pressure. I used it to dismantle an old fence and this ripped through it in no time.The bar is well designed, and very easy to use. The tips are quite sharp (they come with rubber stoppers) which is great for prying into small gaps - I also used the ends to scrape moss off, which it also did with ease. The main body of the bar has an 'grainy' emboss-style finish which gives it some good grip, especially with worker gloves. Both ends are rock solid, and the hooked side is also a useful tool for moving / grabbing / lifting things.The only time I was getting any flex out of it was trying to pry out large/deep/rusty nails, which it did struggle with a bit. The 'Nail Remover' slot at one end is a good idea, but could have been a bit wider: I found the fork in each of the ends to be more effective for bigger nails.Overall, a great tool, and unbelievable price (£7 with Prime shipping). Next job is ripping up some pallets, which I'm kind of looking forward to now!
