mac RT1 prybar

[BullfrogJohnson]

Mac quit making this bar a while back and I need one. Mac calls it a lock ring removal tool for truck wheels but its the handiest tool for working on heavy equipment.

I have looked at all the Ken Tool versions. The kentool has more bend and puts you at a 90* to what ever you are prying. Compared to the mac bar puts you at a 45* and is easier to get in tight spot. If I cant find another RT1 I will have to buy a ken tool and modify for less angle.

Thanks for the help though.

That's what I need! You want to sell it?

How long is that?

Is this Armstrong the same thing? I don't use it.

Are you sure Mac quit making it? It's still on their website:

Sorry I don't. It's pretty rusty and pitted. It is a Ken-Tool but it has no part number. I thought I had two of them but the other one is a little different.
At least the pic gives people an example to look at.

I don't like the term rusty and pitted. I call it well seasoned. In my line of work you can't keep your tool spotless so the next best thing is leave them oily so they don't rust. If you change your mind I will pay top dollar for it.

Yes Mac quit making it a while back and replaced it with the new ken tool version. I sent them an email about the link on there site. Asking if they had any old stock, but they didn't have any.

Gotcha. Sorry, thought it was worth a shot.
