Spec Ops Tools 9.5" Trim Bar, Pry Bar, High Carbon Spring Steel, Built in Ruler and Pry Bar, Beveled Edges, Nail Puller, 3% Donated to Veterans

Awesome little tool great for trim and tight spaces. Super thin for the hard to reach places and fully metal for long term use.

I am going to admit right up front I have yet to use this bar on the job.I am a semi-retired flooring installer and a woodworker of some thirty + years of experience. Semi-retired means I am no longer on MY knees for forty hours a week...instead I make sure the guys on the floor have what they need to stay on THEIR knees because we get paid for the product we install...not getting up and chasing down product and tools.With that in mind, I jokingly refer to myself as 'the walking toolbag'. I carry pencils, a speed square, a tape measure, a utility knife...and a prybar at all times. I am used to 'losing' pencils but it chaps my hide to lose a prybar, something that happens frequently. So while scanning the options available here, I had in mind finding something that looked a little bit different than the standard blue or black bar. I sure found it in this product!!!Like I alluded to before, I have a bit of experience. I feel qualified to rate a tool like this before use. Here goes: the bar is of a slightly heaver gauge that the common hardware store brands...not much, but enough to be noticable. That's fine in my case as the bar will be used more to pry the last row of flooring in place than remove...let's say trim and baseboards. In my hand it feels more like a tool...than a bit of fluff. The edges of the bar have been rounded enough that there are no sharp burrs left from the manufacturers processes. The ends are ground rather than stamped. There is a unique side-pulling feature for trim nails. There is unique edge stamping at one end that should offer a better grip to the bar while pulling trim. There is a unique paint scheme from every other trim bar in existence. There is even a beverage (😉) opener! Last but not least in my mind, Spec Ops donates a small percentage of the sale to Veterans organizations.So, having said my piece, I am happy with my purchase. I got the two-piece offering, which was a buck or so more than a single bar would cost at the orange box store. Heaven help the installer that thinks THIS bar is his....mmuuhhhhaaaa!!!! 🤣🤣🤣UPDATE: After a week on the job, both installers tried several times to 'keep' this bar... blatantly. Both asked "Hey, Woody. Can I keep it?" I just smiled...the kind that freezes ice...and told them where to find one of their own. It held up well to the kind of abuse that folk in the trades give to tools that they don't own. I can't recommend this lil pry bar enough to anyone in the market for a tool like this!

As an avid DIYer, I often find myself having to remove baseboards. These work great for this purpose. The edges are sharp enough to get in behind the baseboards and they are stiff enough to easily pull the baseboards away from the wall. Having 2 of these is really helpful for longer lengths of baseboard (I am less prone to break the baseboard during removal). I would not recommend these as an alternative for a crowbar when doing the demo phase of a home project, but they work great for prying off trim. I have also used them to pull nails (usually while I am pulling trim) and they work well for this purpose, too. They do have a built in ruler, which i will probably appreciate at some point, but it has not been useful for me, so far. The quality of construction is excellent. I would recommend these for anyone that ever has a need to remove trim.

Seems pretty solid and strong. I've only used it a few times, but it works well. It's about half as thick as a normal size flat bar, which i like when removing trim. Less damage to the drywall.

The media could not be loaded. Wow this is a quality flat bar for a trim carpenterFeels heavy duty but the edges are beveled just like the ones you can find in the painters sectionNice color, thickness, raised letters to aid in grip

This is a sharp little bar. So far I've been using it for removing trim and scraping. As for pulling nails, will have to see. It was a little smaller than I had imagined, but that's on me because pictures are sometimes deceiving. This is a nice addition to anyone's toolbox and will come in handy whenever you need it.

Great way to prevent damage to walls & trim, while remodeling. Thin, light and durable.

After short delivery issue, got it. Very nice made tools. Thank you!!
