48” /1.2m Round Handle Demolition Bar – Versatile Wrecking Tool

I was using a regular crowbar to take up old deck panels - but it was very hard work as they were well screwed down (with screws that didn't want to be removed). So I got this and the difference is amazing - much less effort, much less changing position, much less backache and a LOT less swearing!Highly recommended!

Supposed to make taking pallets apart easy, but it's design means that it breaks more slats than it saves.

excellent product - efficient, strong and sturdy even with a "gorilla" using it !

For serious demolition work this is the tool.The 48 inch bar was recommended by a contractor as the tool to use. I demo'd the interior of my 1957 house and couldnt have done it without the gutster. The house was built like a fortress but the gutster had an answer for every challenge.This is not a lightweight tool, but the weight is necessary to break through plaster, cement board and to loosen floor boards. I am 200 pounds , 55 years old and in good shape and using the tool overhead is possible but a workout ( ultimately it was the only thing that worked to take down a plaster ceiling with metal lath). On floors especially the weight is a plus.I used the tool to take down plaster walls, plaster ceiling with metal lath and wire mesh cornices, hardwood floors, 3 layer vinyl tiled floors, ceramic tile walls on cement and wire mesh, studs and frame walls, and built in place kitchen cabinets.The design is great. The flat bottom allows the tool to slide along a surface to get under boards etc. The notch on the head straddles 2x4s 2x6s to lever out stuck boards, the teeth on front bite into boards so you can pry them out. The notches on the back of the head were used to hook onto the plaster ceiling and pull down. The angle between the head and the bar was right to allow a good amount of pry on boards, while not bending over too much.The weight and the teeth were like a battering ram to break up the cement and wire mesh .A great tool and a must for demolition work.

Sehr stabiler Griff. Für meinen Einsatz waren die Zinken leider zu dicht.

Awesome tool. Removed 75 year old 3/8 hardwood with ease; multiple rows at a time. Saves your back.Only downside; the 'nail pullers' on the back are not aggressive enough to pull small (hardwood) nails. With a little more calibrated machining, it could easily be 5+ stars.The rubber handle doesn't last long... not a big deal. I do wish I bought the 60" model.

Great product. Works exactly as described with no issues.

Works great until it doesn’t. Despite the size and quality of this product it is possible to bend the handle if you have a big enough guy on the end. Using to rip off old plywood sheathing from decks during renovation. Handle can be bent back but doesn’t take long to bend back. Might try to sleeve a thicker pipe over the handle to stiffen it up.
