- Pry Bars are about as simple a tool as can be made. No so with indexing pry bars. Taking the classic pry bar to the next level is a rotating head changing the force relationship between effort and load. Add in a few different head designs and hammerable faces and you've got yourself a sophisticated choice of which pry bar to use.
Featured tools are the smallest Snap On indexing pry bar, and three Crescent indexing pry bars.
Some of the best content on CZcams! Thorough explanations without making it over complicated
I don't think I have ever seen you be so gentle with your tools. And of all tools its probably the most abused & made to abuse & demolition. So gentleman like!
I don't know what it is about tool review vids but I love them. The way you and catis maximus and a few others are the way to go.
These pry bars are awesome for seals and precision work
I watch every episode of “last best tool” keep em coming what about precision pliers. Thanks.
Thanks for this video. I am now purchasing one of the orange ones specifically for heavy tire changes at work. I use a regular pry bar but it just isn’t wide enough (tire rolls off one side or the other) so I’m so glad I found this video and realized there are wide ones like that orange one!
I picked up one of the crescent prybars at ace hardware last week in the discount bin. Looks pretty interesting.
Crescents bull bar is very very useful when you need it
Great stuff. That 8” SnapOn would be perfect for me as a fireman. Good for stripping interior vehicle trim or gapping a house window.
Hi readyme. As a fireman you might appreciate this video where I explored some other more powerful rescue tools. czcams.com/video/Rh9Th5Gt9dw/video.html
I really want to get one of those 8” snap on ones. I’ve been browsing ebay and they’re just not a common item on the site.
I carry an adjustable length one from gearwrench in the truck with me for emergencies.
The large one is designed to pop perpendicular deck boards off of a joist
Nice 👍
I realize you’re not a harbor freight guy. But they have indexing pry bars now. Made in Taiwan that are insanely good. Under their Quinn brand.
The big one is for deconstructing wood pellets and outdoor wood decks.
I am “that” guy. Broken the Snap-on 8” indexable bar (small one in this vid)
I like being able to wedge them into a place and then use my regular pry bars with them, I have a short one that extends from 13 to 18 inches that is handy
I've been thinking about an extendable one. Got any brands you like?
@@lastbesttool I dont think any of them are USA made at the moment, if gearwrench has the 13 to 18 size id go with them as they're easiest to warranty. its a bummer a lot of brands dont list country of origin =/
@@Toyotas_n__Tools Sometimes I wonder if the rebranding companies don't even know where their supply chain leads. And probably don't care. Easier that way should it turn out the tools are made in labor camps by children, or import violates sanctions. Just imagine if we discovered that our beloved Gearwrench tools were made in North Korea. That country has to be making money somehow, right?
Gearwrench makes some badass indexing extendable bars. I’ve got both and they went from be “mine” to being “shop bars” lol. Has anyone got any experience using the indexing bars, such as the small SnapOn in the video, to pull seals? I’ve considered getting them since I think they’d be more useful than getting a dedicated seal puller.
What is the closest alt to a commercial 'Halligan bar' that anyone's seen?
Hi
where u get th
Hey doc ,when you go a do a toolbox tour?
Here you go! An entire playlist. My toolbox tour one drawer at a time: czcams.com/play/PL01CnAdVQZJF5OB89HpiWt_wnpvbZ5VCR.html
would you say a indexing pry replaces a normal pry bar? what are your thoughts?
It would depend on the head shape you need. Indexing pry bars usually have more of a crescent shaped head that thickens rapidly from the tip. Conventional pry bars like Snap On have more a scraper edge with a less steep ramp. And, of course, there are moving parts in the indexing one so there's that.
Who makes the big orange one please?
The smallest one is a Snap On, and the three larger one are all made by Crescent Tool.
@@lastbesttool thank you
