Do you find yourself needing to pry things apart? How about levering, lifting, and pulling nails? If the answer is yes, then you are in need of a pry bar.
One of the first tools developed by humankind, the pry bar has been established as a versatile and necessary tool. Over time, many variations of the pry bar have been developed; now there is a plethora of styles and options on the market.
The history of the hammer dates back to ancient times. The Romans, who invented the forged iron nail, used the claw hammer as a dual-purpose tool for pulling and pounding nails. A simple tool by design, a hammer consists of two basic components: the handle and the head.
The quality of the material used for these components, and the proper head-to-handle weight distribution, make the difference between a quality striking tool and one that can pose a user safety risk.
In an ideal world, we all want to tackle our projects using the best tools available. There are brands in each tool category that have built a reputation of quality and dependability among professional users. These are the brands we want to own.
In reality, our desire to own the best goes against a limited budget, regardless if it’s our personal budget or the company allowance.
