Lovely little crowbar; initially thought I'd gone for one too short but this the 18" size surprisingly sturdy, with very little flex, and it doesn't take a lot of effort to get some serious leverage and pressure. I used it to dismantle an old fence and this ripped through it in no time. Very good bar The only time I was getting any flex out of it was trying to pry out large/deep/rusty nails, which it did struggle with a bit.

The design also allows easy removal of large nails using minimal leverage once the skirting is off. The main body of the bar has an 'grainy' emboss-style finish which gives it some good grip, especially with worker gloves. Next job is ripping up some pallets, which I'm kind of looking forward to now!

Overall, a great tool, and unbelievable price (£7 with Prime shipping). Great value for money.

The tips are quite sharp (they come with rubber stoppers) which is great for prying into small gaps - I also used the ends to scrape moss off, which it also did with ease. Both ends are rock solid, and the hooked side is also a useful tool for moving / grabbing / lifting things. Made light work of removing skirting boards and carpet gripper rods. The bar is well designed, and very easy to use.

The 'Nail Remover' slot at one end is a good idea, but could have been a bit wider: I found the fork in each of the ends to be more effective for bigger nails.
