Pry Bar

Pry bars are leverage tools designed to separate, lift, align, or move materials that hands and hammers can't handle alone. At Big Bear Tools, pry bar tools are popular with contractors, renovators, and serious DIYers who need reliable demo and assembly hardware on Canadian job sites.

Size and tip geometry drive the buying decision. Longer bars generate more mechanical advantage for heavy prying and nail pulling; shorter, compact models give better control in tight spaces. Flat bars and wonder bars excel at finish work and careful demolition; heavier wrecking bars are built for rough teardown. Look at tip shape — a straight chisel end for prying, a V-notch for nail pulling — and whether the bar is heat-treated for durability.
