IRWIN® Pry Bars and Wrecking Pry Bars are built of forged spring steel construction for strength and durability. They feature extra-large strikable surfaces that provide ample access when working in tight spaces while also acting as a safe knuckle clearing handles when removing siding and for other applications such as removing tile, molding and baseboards.
