Mayhew 40024 aligning pry bar(60") did I go too big?

[toolaholic]

I purchased this from zoro tools for $29.79 using my ebay bucks. Really good price but maybe I went too big. Recently a 31 inch craftsman USA pry bar would not pop the upper intake off my daughters 3.1 v6 lumina. A fein multimaster w/a scraper blade at select points finally broke it free. I figure I can always use it to move rocks when digging! LOL Here it is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221230051249?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I may go to ollies and see if there are any richard canadian made pry bars about 42" long.

You couldn't pop it off with the 31" prybar? Maybe you haven't been eating your Wheaties for breakfast...

The diesel boys in the shop have this bad *** prybar......

I've been using 'em that size for years...but then we are moving some very large pumps...chillers, boilers,....etc. etc.

I just love a Johnson Bar for that too!

I was prying from the front using the dogbones mounts w/ a piece of lumber on them. If I pryed too hard engine moved forward. Further forward than it was w/ the thexton engine mover. I was afraid if blowing donut exhaust seal. After multi mastering a few spots the 31er popped it.

I love my big 60 incher.

HF sells an actual "johnson bar" for $18 in the same length.

Thank me later for giving you a reason to buy a BIGGER BOX!!!

I love my Dominator pry bar, Its 58 inches, it actually comes in handy to pop ball joints out with no effort. I lean it in the corner of the garage since it is wider than my toolbox.

I thought the price from zorro was a steal!

 

[venturesomerite]

lol, isn't it a digging bar at that point? (being that big)

 

[chrisa7164]

I have the OTC bar like that one. I use it for suspension work mostly,but it does come in handy in other applications. Just remember.."Leverage is your friend".

I saw one of those at napa.

Needless to say, I wanted it.



(their price wasn't no $30 either)

 

[reptilezs]

that is a pretty good price
