Mac monster pry bar Vs mayhew dominator pry bar?

[Mitchell17]

I am in need of the biggest pry bar I can find as I work with tractor/trailers

I have looked at the mayhew dominator because it is cost effective but I can only find it 44 inchs long. The mac bars is 56 inchs long. Does anyone know where I can get a bar that long and not get ripped off?

The mayhew dominator 58-c is 58" long. Northern tool and sears both show it on the website.

edit amazon has it for 89$ with free shipping

I have the 58" dominator, and man does that thing put out, especially for the price, I purchased it off the snap on truck 2 years ago I think for something like $115-120. Great buy.

I would think anything bigger than 4' would call for some tools sold for the landscaping and home demolition trades.

I use these at work for heavy equipment/tractor trailer maintenance. They are heavy at around 18 lbs but I've never seen one break. I've only seen a couple of them bend towards the hadle end from misuse. I use the weight of the bar as an advantage a lot, you can get some good striking force without a hammer. Overall I think they're damn heavy duty and the price isn't bad.

EDIT: They're not pretty like the large tool truck bars but they'll definitely get the job done, and most of the time that's what matters when using something this large. I've used the huge Snap-on bar before and while it has it's uses I didn't like the amount of flex it had. When you pry something with this bar, either the object is going to move, or you are.

For something that big Id just use a digging iron/bar.

I have a digging bar I bought from Horrible Freight about 5 years ago. It is 5 & 1/2 feet long, weighs a ton and will not flex with 224 pounds hanging off the end of it. One end is pointed. Other is a chisel end. Best $12 I ever spent. Check it out -- you've got nothing to lose.
Cheers,

When you are going that long, you really can't go wrong with a 5' or 6' sleever/alignment bar.

Find an old Chrysler torsion bar and heat and beat the end to suit.
