I have been looking for this pry bar for quite some time now. It is a large diameter round stock pry bar. Pointed on one end and flat on the other. No real info on them from the guys at work that have them.

Any help?

Wonder how much something like that goes for.

What do you plan on using it for? Heavy trucks I imagine?

Heavy equipment and Tractor Repair. Two of those are the bee's knees for lining up large wheel/tire combinations of tractors, combines, and cotton pickers.

Have seen people use old combine shafts for straight pry bars. A little time on the grinder.

Sleever bar (AKA alignment bar, pinch bar, jimmy bar or connecting bar depending on where you are). Mostly found among ironworkers, millwrights and construction trades.

Just about any industrial supply place has a broad range of sizes and types.

I don't know about the availability/dealers for Gray in the US, I've mostly seen Ajax and Mayhew in the longer lengths. My personal "big" bar is a 46" Ajax that is virtually identical to the Gray you posted.

I just bought the 43" one on Friday. List was 78 but I got it for 49 plus tax (CAN$ - stronger than the US$ - woop woop!)

It's very solid and isn't going to bend for sure... good purchase

That is a connecting, or sleever bar, pretty common, OTC makes a nice one as does Klien. I have a few from my Ironworker days.

I have one from the previous owner. Still looking for a reason to use it. Looks nice with the axes, sledges and whatnot.

Shipping won't be cheap although it would ship in a mailing tube.

Just say it's "Printed Matter" and you are buying it for the info printed on it. :see:
