I bought one of these with some sandpaper. The box of sandpaper cost more then this bar, in a few months the sandpaper will be gone. I will be using the Superbar for years. The edges are ground smooth the little V for pulling nails is ground well, the balance and flex are just perfect. Another reviewer said the price was "appropriate" Please, I have bought many tools that were far more money then this and have not been even 1/10 as satisfied.

Review of Vaughan B215L SuperBar, 21-Inch Long

I bought a cheap 15 inch knock-off of this tool from Harbor Freight a few years ago just to see if this form of pry bar would be useful to me. It has been.

With a big siding-removal project in the works I decided to invest in a better quality version, and get something just a bit longer. Turns out it was a very good decision. The quality of this tool is far superior to the HF knock-off. As another reviewer mentioned, the ends and nail pulling slot are nicely ground. Seems like it's made with higher quality steel as well, since this 21 inch bar is not much heavier than the knock-off even though it's 40% longer. It's a very good size and weight for removal of plastic siding, easy to carry with me up and down the ladder all day. Quite good at nail pulling, although there are specialized nail pullers available that will do a better job in really tough situations.

Helpful tip: I hang this bar from my work belt using a small steel hook (riveted to the right side of the belt), to keep my hands free for other tasks (like holding on to the the ladder :-) ). So far it's worked like a charm, the bar has not fallen off once in may weeks of use.

Having experienced the quality difference between this well made tool (USA) and the Asian knock-off I would buy the Vaughan again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

Perfect design. It flexes a little but, it is to be expected. It is only metal after all. I have to use a larger/thicker bar for the serious prying. The price is appropriate which is a contributing factor to my five star review.

There is not much to say about crow bars. The finish is fine and it is stiff. One off for price

Added to my earthquake-readiness shack outside the house, just in case.

Quality moderately well.

Quick shipping and fair price.

Go and get one!

Being a flood remediation tech, I've got a shop full of tools to bring to every job. I never leave without this one, even if it's just an appraisal. I can do almost any job with the superbar a utility knife and a Philips head. If you do any kind of construction or demo, you need this bar. Period.

This is thin enough to get under molding, but strong enough to pry a 2x4 off. Long enough to get leverage but light enough to use all day long with little fatigue. It's especially good with trim, taking out old windows, removing lath, prying siding off, and prying old wood flooring off, things that are nailed down too close to get a big crowbar under and too tight to use a wimpy crowbar on. It's made in the USA.

This tool is great for prying, levering, splitting, pulling - on whatever you need pryed, levered, split, or fulled. The angles, curve, and bevels are just right - a simple tool very well done. Get one - it will save you time, effort, and agravation.
