Wrecking/Crow Bar AWTools AW18132, weight 700 g, forged steel hand prying tool

AWTools AW18132 is a forged steel wrecking/crow bar weighing 700 g, designed for prying, levering and light demolition tasks. Manufactured from drop-forged tool steel that is hardened and tempered, the hand prying tool provides a durable working surface with a satin finish to reduce slippage. The bar features angled ends with a hook and tapered profile, rounded corners and an ergonomic shape for controlled leverage and safe handling in construction, carpentry, tyre service and DIY repair tasks.

Advantages

The double T-section reinforcement increases resistance to bending and torsion while the hardened and tempered steel construction ensures long-term durability under repeated prying loads. The satin finish improves grip and reduces surface glare, and the rounded corners minimise risk of accidental damage to workpieces and hands. The combination of hook and taper ends facilitates nail pulling, board separation and tyre bead stretching on rims.

Suitable for

• Prying and levering in construction and carpentry work
• Pulling nails and separating joined boards
• Light demolition and dismantling tasks
• Stretching and removing tyres from rims on cars, motorcycles and bicycles
• General maintenance and DIY repairs requiring controlled leverage

Key specifications

• Material: drop-forged tool steel, hardened and tempered
• Weight: 700 g
• Finish: satin finish to reduce slippage
• Construction: reinforced double T-section for increased resistance
• Design: ergonomic shape with rounded corners and no sharp edges
• Ends: hook and tapered end for pulling nails and tyre bead stretching

How to use

Position the appropriate angled end of the bar under the item to be pried—use the tapered end for levering between tight seams or tyre beads and the hook end for pulling nails or seizing an edge. Apply steady pressure with controlled leverage, keeping hands clear of pinch points and using protective gloves when necessary. For tyre work, use the hook to lift the tyre bead over the rim edge gradually and work around the circumference to avoid sudden slips. After use, wipe the tool clean and store in a dry place to preserve the hardened finish.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, match the tool to the task: use the 700 g crowd bar for light to medium prying and tyre bead work rather than heavy demolition. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, inspect the tool before use for signs of damage, and avoid using the bar as a hammer or striking with excessive impact to prevent deformation.
