No Brand Pinch & Wedge Point Bars

Crow bars can be used for many different tasks and come in a variety of types to suit different applications. The basic design of a pinch bar or crow bar is a long metal bar with a single curved, flattened or pointed tip. The tip of a pinch bar can be used to force two objects apart or break up objects. Depending on how much leverage is applied, a pinch bar or wedge bar can pry apart hundreds of lbs. For other projects around the house or job site, there are plenty of other hand tools and equipment to handle an assortment of tasks.

Application

Whether you need to open up wooden crates that have been nailed shut, pry apart boards, loosen frozen soil, break up tree roots or demolish concrete, there are many different types of pinch bars, wedge bars and point bars available. Look for a crow bar with a blunt, broad edge for wedging between items and choose a point bar with a sharpened tip for breaking up hard surfaces.

Construction

Most crow bars are constructed from heavy-duty steel, which resists breakage and chipping when slammed into other hard materials. Choose a crow bar that's made from titanium for a lighter-weight option that's also non-magnetic, so the bar won't stick to metallic surfaces that it comes into contact with. When choosing a crow bar, you'll notice that different weights are assigned to each bar, ranging from 10 lb. to 18 lb. and 26 lb. The weight of the bar indicates how effective it will be when handling larger, denser materials. If you need to break through concrete and metal, it's best to choose a crow bar with a heavier design.
