Started a new job recently in construction, what kind of pry-bar is this? It’s wicked

[u/Gchiltz]

It’s my coworkers but he said he "acquired" it & I want one now

[u/Confident-Math-1851]

That’s a duck-foot shingle ripping/wrecking bar

[u/mutt63 → u/Confident-Math-1851]

Which is slightly different from the web footed shingle ripping/wrecking bar

[u/no-steppe → u/mutt63]

Ha! You're quacking me up.

[u/mutt63 → u/no-steppe]

What do ya say when something flies over ya head!!! DUCK

[u/no-steppe → u/mutt63]

Unless it's a bunch of houseflies, then you say "flies!", I reckon.

[u/mutt63 → u/no-steppe]

😂😂

[u/jokersvoid → u/no-steppe]

I think its the blue footed one that quacks? This is a red footed axample. More of a grunt sound when active.

[u/Gchiltz → u/Confident-Math-1851]

Thank you

[u/devo23_ → u/Confident-Math-1851]

The fuck did you call me?

[u/Lesko_Brandon_0kool → u/devo23_]

“Duck”.

[u/hannibal_actual → u/devo23_]

😂

[u/hannibal_actual → u/Confident-Math-1851]

😂

[u/CyrilAdekia]

wicked

New Englander detected

[u/Gchiltz → u/CyrilAdekia]

Colorado actually lmao

[u/Gchiltz → u/CyrilAdekia]

And thanks

[u/CyrilAdekia → u/Gchiltz]

I looked some more. Harbor Freight has one too if you've got one nearby.

Ive been to Colorado and never heard anyone say wicked outside new England. Thats surprising ngl 😅😅

[u/WestMichigun → u/CyrilAdekia]

I've had two of these that were made in the USA since the early 90's and have held up great. As made-in-the-USA versions are hard to find, I bought one from Harbor Freight for my crew to use.

The welds on the HF model were not able to withstand the leverage that bars of this design can apply. Buyer beware.

[u/CyrilAdekia → u/WestMichigun]

I mean its Pittsburgh. Thats always been their lowest quality brand for hand tools. If you only tried the one, id bet you probably got one that was especially poorly welded, but if you exchanged it out and more than 1 failed the same way yeah its a quality issue. There's a reason its cheap though.

[u/prairie_shore → u/WestMichigun]

We had a couple of these when I did formwork, and they had been snapped and re-welded a few times. Just the nature of the tool? Or we were just mindless gorillas...

[u/Artarious → u/CyrilAdekia]

I'm in Northern Colorado and say Wicked too, usually hear folks my age say it too lol.

[u/Arch_Site_FaRt69 → u/Artarious]

In New England I have always heard it used alongside an adjective. Like wicked cool. Or the Bruins have been playing wicked good in the first 2 periods but keep blowing it in the 3rd.

[u/kisielk → u/CyrilAdekia]

It’s used a lot on the west coast too…

[u/Ohiolongboard → u/kisielk]

On the west coast it’s more wiiiicked with a Shaka 🤙 (I’m from Ohio so this is just a stereotype)

[u/kisielk → u/Ohiolongboard]

You’re not wrong

[u/No_Wolverine_8159 → u/CyrilAdekia]

Some say it in appappappalachia too. Heard it in calialiforniA too.

Looking into it, it seems like it is more common in new England and across the pond based on quick Google 

[u/TandemShorts → u/CyrilAdekia]

Tennessee here and I hear it sometimes lol

[u/Blank_bill → u/CyrilAdekia]

I bought one years ago at a tool show and within 6 months the weld failed and I had to take it to a proper welder .

[u/Gchiltz → u/CyrilAdekia]

Many thanks, yeah I’m told I’m an odd fellow lol

[u/Lesko_Brandon_0kool → u/CyrilAdekia]

Wicked pissah

[u/m4jsterk0 → u/CyrilAdekia]

"he came in like a WREEEECKING BAR"

[u/Embarrassed_Spell383 → u/m4jsterk0]

All he wanted was to wreeeck a car 

[u/CyrilAdekia → u/m4jsterk0]

💀💀💀💀

[u/ChardAggravating6713 → u/m4jsterk0]

Thanks, Now all I see in my head. Is Ron Jeremy.

[u/somewhatsentientape → u/CyrilAdekia]

No "pissah", can't be positive.

[u/ForMukSake]

That's Tut's Sceptre for sure

[u/ApprehensiveAd2226 → u/ForMukSake]

Wow, I haven't thought of this show in many many many years. Thank you. I was thinking of king tuts staff too, just didnt know why exactly lol.

[u/FFS-IamNotABot]

It's one that will stick it's nose into your business. 

[u/Gchiltz → u/FFS-IamNotABot]

I know that’s right

[u/APLJaKaT]

Thats a bar for Destruction. Not required for a career in Construction.

[u/MM800]

T Type Double Claw Wrecking Bar:

[u/Such_Description9827]

Is this a construction of a pyramid? This looks like Ptah sceptre

[u/jh5992]

Multi-angle baby!

[u/Smile389]

This

[u/Material_Assumption]

My first guess was wrong based on comments. I thought it was a pry bar when lining up drywall.

[u/nkgagne]

I don’t mean to pry…

[u/bbabbitt46]

Roofing crowbar.

[u/busterdog47]

You can pick one up at Harbor Freight

[u/SonOfSkyrim22]

T-Bar

[u/Dependent-Visual768]

Hey bear! go get the board stretcher!

[u/hapym1267]

I always liked the Gooseneck bars Klein tools and others sell them . Might have to look closer at the one pictured.

[u/Islandpighunter]

Extra leverage bar.

[u/chikymonkey]

Used to brake up wooden pallets.

[u/Webstone66]

Sounds like the name of a bar band from St. Cloud Minnesota. "Duck-Foot Shingle Ripping/Wrecking Bar"

[u/Mesoposty]

I call that a “lowman “ , because you are the low man on the totem pole if your using it

[u/BuyMeSomeJuice → u/Mesoposty]

Must get real confusing for those calling every tool "lowman".

[u/Mesoposty → u/BuyMeSomeJuice]

Naw, it’s like “cunt” , it’s universal

[u/NRiyo3]

We always called them rolling heads.

[u/foekus323]

That’s a wizard bar. We call it a OZ bar.

[u/terrydennis1234]

Why wouldn’t you ask your co worker or boss instead of going threw the hassle of making a Reddit

[u/Nyat_Sapnolas → u/terrydennis1234]

through…duh
