Tekton Angled End Handled Pry Bars are made with a bar stock that's heat-treated to balance strength and toughness. The black oxide finish won't flake or chip off. The end of the pry bar is angled for prying and positioning: slide in between materials or under objects with the pry bar's chisel tip, then use the angled end of the bar as a fulcrum to push apart or lift up the workpiece. The 1-inch diameter solid steel striking cap is designed to be struck by a hammer. The end of the cap directly contacts the bar stock so that any force you apply is effectively transferred through the tool. The large polypropylene handle is impact-resistant and unaffected by most fuel, solvents, and common chemicals. It's lightly textured to provide your hands extra grip when working.
