POPLOCK 17-inch Adjustable Flat Bar Pry Bar, Cats Paw Nail Puller Remover Crowbar, Utility Wonder Bar, High-Carbon Steel Flat Bar Tool for Home Remolding, Woodworking Tools, Carpenter Carpentry

This item is easy to use in tight spots. I would only recommend only on residential renovations and not commercial construction. Overall it’s a great product that delivers.

This is a great pry bar that looks almost too good to use. The adjustable head works good and time will tell about strength. Only drawback is price. There are similar bars for $25-$30, but they don't look this nice. If the price was more reasonable, I would rate it a solid 5 stars. But, I knew the price when I purchased.

This is not a pry bar for demo or everyday use, looks cool great idea but not heavy duty enough for the field

If you have and use several sizes of cat's paws, 2 16" flat pry bars, and a few T and J type heavy duty pry bars this tool might just prove to be the missing element in your de-nailing lumber-reusing world. (Not to ignore your carpenter's hammer or your framing hammer, but these have different primary functions.)After a few hours of working with this clever tool I knew this would not replace any of my other de-nailing tools, but it had become a tool of first resort; the tool I most wanted in my hands when confronted with a mass of otherwise useful nail-infested lumber. (Not to neglect mentioning the scrap recycling value of bent nails, but one does not want to be accused of "virtue signaling," which I take to mean easy words substituted for little actual sustained effort, physical, mental, or emotional. One hardly dares suggesting straightening those nails for re-use, but that was a task I mastered as a child and dearly hope we never need to go back to.)I found it to be of high quality, not easily marred construction. It partners well with one- or two-pound dead blow mallets for driving the business end between boards, just as one would use a flat bar.Note that one might want to avoid pounding on the flexible "wrist" with a hammer when doing a forced entry. It seems strong enough for directly applied human strength, which is probably why it is no longer than it is. In other words, this is not a pipe wrench that could take a two-foot cheater pipe without risk of being damaged.You will still want to have a short 2x4 handy when pulling nails over 2-inches long, just as when using a carpenter's hammer for that purpose.Altogether a fine addition to my tool kit. Highly recommended.

This pry bar is double ended with an articulating claw on one end and a sturdy flat prybar on the other end.This bar differs from your normal crowbar, with the addition of a locking mechanism that allows the claw to unlock and lock in one of many different positions.How sturdy this lock up is, remains to be seen.I haven’t tested it to failure, but I pride myself, up off the ground so that’s 165 lbs.I then used the claw end in a variety of angles to pry around in the 90-100lbs ballpark and nothing broke or came loose.I’ve also used it to successfully remove 3.5” nails from concrete forms and it faired pretty well.The major upside here is the adjustable claw.Whenever you’re prying something up, there always seems to be a wall or counter, right in the way. 😫Since the claw can move in virtually any direction it makes it easier when you need it. 😃Overall the fit and finish looks nice and it works as described.The only downside I noted was when the claw is fully locked, the claw itself has about 1mm of side to side movement and 3mm back and forth movement.So far, the claw being a little lose hasn’t caused issue and I doubt it would, if you use steady pressure. On the other hand, because it has some movement right out of the box, I’d wager that if you jerk it abruptly with a lot of weight on it, frequently enough, you may start to see reliability issues with the lock up.That hasn’t happened yet, and it’s performed admirably up to this point.

The media could not be loaded. let's not kid ourselves, at 17", this isn't the pry bar for your heavy duty demolition needs. This is made for smaller, more contained tasks, and at that, it offers some great flexibility.one of the biggest frustration with a fixed prybar is when you get to a nail that's right at the top of bottom of a board, and you just can't get any leverage to pry the nail out because the lever arm is bottomed out. with this indexing head, that's no longer a problem, you can flex it to where you need, and get it done!the indexing is much easier than I had anticipated. you simply pinch the two sides and rotate away. I have a bit of concern about the strength and longevity of that design, since those gears have now become your weakest link for the lever arm - but so far, it has worked fine. I'll update the review if that changes.for a relatively small pry bar, it's got a good heft to it, it'll be a good all-around tool for the toolbox.

Not for commercial work

This is the smallest pry bar I had ever own, but it is very effective. I took it out to the workshop and pulled several 12 penny nails embedded in some 20+ year old lumber with no problem. Some of the nails that large I have to use a hammer to hit the cats claw to pull the nails out because there’s not enough length for the leverage needed to pull that long of a nail by hand. It’s not painted nice colors like some of the more expensive units, but I am going to hit it with a hammer anyway so I don’t think that’s a big deal. The places I hit with a hammer are of course scratched but they did not get dented or dinged up at all. And this is small enough to fit in my kitchen door tool drawer, which is really cool. These bars look superb in the picture and even better when I see the black Nickel finish on them when they are in my hand. They seem high quality but the larger of the two had a crack the full width of the V section on the right-angled part. It wasn't a through crack from what I could see but the strength was likely to have been severely compromised. The handles are anodized aluminum. The joints fit tightly. The head articulates to a number of different angles. These should be very handy.
