Wrecking/Crow Bar AWTools AW18133, weight 900 g

The AWTools AW18133 wrecking/crow bar is a manual leverage tool designed for prying, demolition and tyre stretching tasks. Made of drop-forged tool steel that is hardened and tempered, the bar provides a balance of strength and durability while its satin finish reduces slippage during use. The tool features a reinforced double T-section for increased resistance and an ergonomic shape with rounded corners to minimize the risk of causing damage to surfaces or injury to the user.

Advantages

The solid metal construction and heat-treated tool steel give the bar high torsional strength and wear resistance for demanding mechanical tasks. The satin finish provides a more secure grip and reduces the likelihood of the bar slipping when applying force. Reinforcement with a double T-section increases rigidity and helps the tool retain its shape under heavy loads. The ergonomic design and rounded corners allow safer handling during prying, demolition and tyre work.

Suitable for

• Construction and renovation tasks that require manual leverage
• Workshop and garage use for dismantling and prying operations
• Tyre stretching and removal on passenger cars, motorcycles and bicycles
• Tire service stations and mobile tyre technicians

Key specifications

• Weight: 900 g
• Material: tool steel, drop forged
• Heat treatment: hardened and tempered
• Finish: satin

How to use

Position the hook or tapered end between the tyre bead and rim or between materials to be pried. Apply steady, controlled leverage to lift or separate components, taking care to maintain a secure grip on the bar. For tyre stretching or removal, use the hook to hold the tyre bead and the tapered end to lever the tyre over the rim lip; work progressively around the wheel to avoid damaging the tyre or rim. After use, wipe the tool clean, inspect for deformation or wear, and store in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when prying, demolishing or working with tyres. Avoid using the bar on live electrical circuits. For tyre work, combine the bar with suitable rim protectors or plastic levers if paint or alloy wheels may be damaged. Regularly inspect the tool for signs of excessive wear, bending or cracks and replace if integrity is compromised.
