Wrecking Bars

Wrecking bars are a type of crowbar used for demolition. These highly effective hand tools are more versatile than you might think and aren’t just for breaking up materials. They can also help remove broken nails, lift floorboards and more.

What Are the Different Types of Wrecking Bar?

Traditional wrecking bars often have a long hexagonal shank, a chisel end and a fork end. Heavy-duty models are made with hardened, tempered or drop forged alloy steel. Look out for specialist wrecking bars like a slaters’ ripper for removing slates from a roof, Bonsai claw bars for prying and removing mouldings, architraves or skirting boards, and T-type bars for extra leverage.
