Question 1

Where is this made?

Accepted Answer

It is definitely (made in the good old USA), altho I do favor the third answer. Little suggestion to Estwing art department, fill in the Estwing artwork with the American flag. You are made in Merica, be proud of it, the USA flag is on the entire packaging but it never says made in America. Sorry for being so cynical, just been tricked by too many Chinese shiny trinkets that chip & bent.\You want to know how I know, Asin steel could never take such a beating with a 5 pound sledge and not blunt the tip. Then again it does say Made in USA on tool, not retail packaging.

Question 2

I need something to pry apart a wooden fence that has stripped screws holding it together.  Will this get between the boards?

Accepted Answer

This will get between the boards well. Depending on the screws if you need more leverage after getting between the boards try a QLT By MARSHALLTOWN 14956 Little Monster Pry Bar gives a ton of leverage. I recently used one to pry deck boards off the framing. A combination of nails and deck screws couldn't deter me!

Question 3

How is it with pulling nails with the 90 degree claw? The design looks to boxy not round enough to roll out nails smoothly.

Accepted Answer

This was my grandpa's favorite prybar and he had many, some were welded back together and so old i think they belonged to his dad. They were in my dads boxes, uncle Ivan tool bag, everywhere. They suck at pulling nails and g-pa thought they did a fine job. By the time I was 20 I was buying giant cats paws from japan with the 90 degree claw and g-pa's trusty old prybars were retired to his tool box. The design beats up the fingers of a rookie. If a nail breaks, SLAM goes the bar flat on the concrete. It is most unforgiving. G-pa's terrible welds tore skin too. I think its an unweldable alloy.
