Wilde Pry Bars

[littleponderosa]

Cruising thru HJE early this morning and found some Wilde pry bars for a very cheap price. Anyone have any experience with them?
Damn, 4 sizes - 12, 17, 25 & 31 inchers for $35.65 just make me wonder about the quality.
I'll order up if someone can tell me if they are worthy.

They are /were the OEM for several Cman items.

wilde is never a bad choice and i see you could put together a 5-piece set from epstein's for like $50 including one that is three feet long, LOL. i dunno what the OTC ones run but were i in your situation i'd just go wilde from epstein's... or maybe check ebay for used truck brand or something.

Edit: LB-1911 beat me to it

Same as craftsman red handle.
Mayhew makes their professional ones IIRC.

I have the 36" version, I think it is a great pry bar.

I bought the craftsman rebranded wilde set probably 10 years ago and they are still going strong, haven't had a single problem with them.

These are awesome. I've only had to use the longest one a couple times though

I bought the 12, 25, and 36 from HJE. I use the hell out of them and love the way they feel. You will not regret if you buy them!

I have used my Craftsman ones a good bit and they have never let me down.

 

[Aspen RT]

I have 3 or 4 of them, work good for me!

I have the CMan versions, beaten the piss out of them. Never let me down, that goes for the handles too.

The price is just realistic. No relationship to quality. Mine have always been great and can't say a bad thing about them at this point.

 

[66354dream]

I have them also and don't have a single complaint.

 

[littleponderosa]

Done ordered. Thanks for the assist fellas.

My craftsmans used professionally always stand up to the test. You wont be disappointed.

I have the 12 inch. Hammer on the red plastic handle from time to time as well. Great prybar.

 

[Squankum]

I bought some as Mayhews years back, liked 'em. discovered GJ & HJE, ordered the monster one - a ridiculous value! - and lately I'm wondering why I'm not ordering the 12"er. For the price, it's impossible to resist.

All Wilde stuff is an excellent value.
