Crowbar (wrecking bar) MODECO MN-79-172, forged construction, 1200 mm length

MODECO MN-79-172 is a forged construction crowbar (wrecking bar) with a length of 1200 mm, intended for prying, demolition and general construction tasks. The tool features a one-piece forged steel body that delivers high bending resistance and impact durability. Its length and rigid profile provide increased leverage for lifting, separating boards, removing nails and disassembling structures in both professional and DIY environments.

Advantages

The crowbar’s forged construction ensures uniform material strength and reduces the risk of breakage under heavy loads. A 1200 mm length increases mechanical advantage, allowing efficient force transfer with less physical effort. The ends are shaped for both wedge and hook functions, making the tool versatile for prying, nail extraction and levering operations. The solid, unibody design minimizes joint or weld failures and improves long-term reliability on site.

Suitable for

• Prying and levering in demolition and renovation work
• Removing nails, fasteners and trim
• Separating boards, panels and flooring
• General construction and carpentry tasks requiring long reach and leverage
• DIY projects where a sturdy wrecking bar is needed

Key specifications

• Construction: forged one-piece steel body
• Overall length: 1200 mm
• Tool type: crowbar / wrecking bar
• End shapes: wedge and hook for prying and nail pulling
• Intended use: prying, demolition, nail removal, dismantling

How to use

Place the appropriate end of the crowbar against the edge or joint to be pried and apply steady pressure to the handle to create leverage. For nail removal, engage the hooked end around the nail head and apply controlled levering to extract the nail. Use the wedge end to separate bonded or tight-fitting components by inserting the tip into seams and levering progressively. Maintain a stable stance and apply force gradually to avoid sudden movements; reposition the bar as needed to increase leverage or change the direction of force.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when performing demolition or prying tasks. Inspect the crowbar for visible damage before use and avoid striking the tool with hardened steel hammers or using it as a lever for unintended mechanical loads. Store in a dry place to reduce corrosion and keep the tool readily available for construction, renovation and heavy-duty DIY operations.
