A Wonder-Ful Pry Bar [Posted on 2002-03-25]
For those of us that work sitting on their backsides all day, there is nothing quite like going home and destroying something at night to take out some tension. The pry bar is the perfect tool for this task.

The 12 1/2" pry bar may be a bit too short for the largest jobs, but this size is a perfect size for the majority of jobs. Whether ripping out drywall, removing molding, pulling stubborn nails, or popping tiles, this is the tool. The tool is angled differently at each end. One end is for popping items like nails. The other end is better for prying tiles, for example. Because of the different angles, you gain different levels of leverage.

This is the tool for home (destruction) improvement.

An indestructible tool! [Posted on 2004-10-27]
Having owned two of these pry bars for years, I must say this is a must-own tool if you plan on doing any sort of extensive renovation - especially if it requires any sort of ripping-out, tearing-down, or prying-loose activities. I have beat on this bar with a hammer, used it to pry loose uncountable objects, pulled thousands of nails with it and I cannot fathom an occasion when it would break.

Extremely useful and quite indestructible!

Nails Undone [Posted on 2006-08-07]
This little pry bar gets the the job done. The size is great. The steel is strong. I just wish the manufacturer had used a little more care in production. There's notable sputter along some of the edges, and, as noted in other reviews, the edges could use with a little grinding so it fits better between those boards you're ready to pry apart.

The Go Anywhere, Do Anything Tool [Posted on 2007-02-19]
As is stated in the title, this thing does it all. I have used it extensively now for every home improvment project I have taken on. My wife, who loves the demolition part of home improvement, has now gotten one of her own. This thing has never let me down. I have removed trim, nails, plywood subfloor, and even a shower with this tool and it never quits. I own two and I have a son on the way, so I will probably by a third

useful, yes, indestructible, no [Posted on 2007-03-13]
The original Wonderbar is a a useful tool for for a lot of things but its not really great at anything. It would be a good choice for someone who is just getting started and doesn't have any other pry bars or someone that needs to travel light. It does help to sharpen both ends with a grinder. Definitely not indestructible as I have broken one of these, and I am not a big guy. Broke at bend while prying a couple of 2x apart.

For small delicate jobs like removing trim I like the Red Devil Scrape-n-Pry and for serious work I use a 36" wrecking bar. Why strain yourself when you can just use a longer lever? For pulling nails the Shark Grip nail pullers cannot be beat. The Wonder Bar can do all of these things, it just doesn't do any of them as well as the specialized tools do.
