Pry Bars


Often, the first step in a renovation project is getting rid of the old, rotten and ugly stuff. At Hardware World, we carry a huge selection of pry bars, wrecking bars and nail pullers that will help you make short work of tear-downs. Besides being handy for renovations, these demolition devices are useful for many other applications, from removing shutters from your vacation home to jimmying stuck items free.

But first, a little information about the nomenclature. Are you wondering about the crow/pry/wreck bar difference? These terms often are used interchangeably. Pry bar can be a synonym for crow bar or wrecking bar. Technically, however, wrecking bars reflect what their name implies. Intended primarily for separating wooden components, wrecking bars have a nail puller at one end. Pry bars tend to be preferred for deconstruction jobs requiring a lighter touch. Crow bars are bigger, are available with or without nail pullers and have a more pronounced hook at the end.
