Wrecking/Crow Bar AWTools AW18134 — weight 1.1 kg

The AWTools AW18134 wrecking/crow bar is a handheld demolition and tyre-levering tool weighing 1.1 kg. Constructed from drop-forged tool steel that is hardened and tempered, it offers a balance of strength and durability for levering, prying and dismantling tasks. The bar features a satin finish to reduce slippage, a reinforced double T-section for increased resistance and an ergonomic shape with rounded corners to avoid sharp edges. One end is hooked and the other tapered, enabling both general demolition work—such as removing boards, trim and nails—and practical tyre stretching and removal on cars, motorcycles and bicycles.

Advantages

The solid tool-steel construction with heat treatment and double T-section reinforcement provides high mechanical strength and resistance to bending during heavy manual use. Satin finishing improves grip and reduces unwanted slippage while the ergonomic profile with rounded corners increases handling comfort and safety. The combination of a hook and a tapered end allows precise prying and controlled leverage for both construction tasks and tyre rim operations.

Suitable for

• General demolition and renovation: prying boards, removing nails and dismantling trim
• Carpentry and light structural work requiring controlled leverage
• Tyre stretching and removal on passenger cars, motorcycles and bicycles
• Tyre service workshops as an accessory for rim and bead manipulation

Key specifications

• Weight: 1.1 kg
• Material: drop-forged tool steel, hardened and tempered
• Finish: satin finish to reduce slippage
• Reinforcement: double T-section for enhanced resistance
• Ends: one hooked end and one tapered end for prying and tyre removal
• Design: ergonomic shape with rounded corners and no sharp edges

How to use

Position the hooked or tapered end under the edge of the object to be pried or the tyre bead you need to stretch. Apply steady, controlled leverage using the length of the bar to lift or separate materials; avoid sudden impact loads. For tyre work, use the tapered end to gain initial clearance and the hooked end to manipulate and stretch the bead over the rim. Maintain firm grip on the ergonomic body and keep hands clear of pinch points created between tool and workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when performing demolition or tyre operations. Inspect the bar before use for signs of damage or excessive wear; do not use if the tool is bent or cracked. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and keep out of reach of children. For tyre services, combine this tool with proper tyre irons and rim protectors to minimise rim damage.
