I use all sorts of those long-shaft harbor freight pry-bars for tire changing, truck and tractor wheels. Works better than the regular smaller wheel-changing prybar they sell. I have one of those huge-heavy-long harbor freight crow-bars..biggest they sell. I use that one for breaking up concrete.
I've owned the 36 inch version of the Pittsburgh Pro that you showed---it's been excellent. I don't think you can find more bang for your buck than those Pittsburgh Pro ones. I just bought that 3 piece set as well but haven't used it yet. I have the 4-piece set that sells for $10 to $12 and I dropped the big one on its handle on the concrete floor and the handle shattered, lol.
Yeah same here with the cheap hard plastic handle ones. The new rubber handle ones have been fine, I did “short” on an update on this 3 pc set, they’re still working fine. Just don’t get carried away.
I picked up some of these for my job and they’ve been pretty good so far. I’m not doing as much heavy duty stuff though so I’m sure they won’t be quite as good
I'm beginning to see a pattern here. HF links to a review in its email ad. The "review" is by someone with few subscribers, and it isn't an actual reviews. It's just a guy babbling for several minutes. This is the second one from their latest email ad. Guys, a tool review should, at the very least, include some real world examples of use. Seriously. Nobody needs to hear similar crap repeated for several minutes while the tool isn't actually shown doing any of what it is designed to do. Shame on HF for linking to this in their email ad.
Thanks for commenting it really helps boost the video!!! I have decades of experience. If you don’t want to take my word for something as an initial review. That’s fine. I usually listen to people who have been there and done that. If the tool was junk I would’ve said so.
@@RealWorldGarage what he is saying is that all you're doing is talking about these tools and you're not showing any of them being used in any particular way. A little demo is what we're looking for I guess. Thank you
@@denisebat6892 That is correct, Denise. Having relevant experience is important, but for the average consumer it's equally important to see that experience in action. For example, demonstrating how to most effectively and safely use the various size pry bars. Or demonstrating some pry bar tips and tricks learned over the years. He can certainly talk about the quality or any other noteworthy points while doing the demos. But without real world demos this doesnt rise to the level of a review. I only clicked on the links in the HF email to see who was doing the reviews for their products and how well they were done. Frankly, I was surprised. Not what I expected from a national brand.
@@RealWorldGarage And I apologize for my lack of tact here. As a fellow content creator who runs a YT channel under another name, I should say I appreciate anyone who invests their time to create useful content. Thank you. But we should all aspire to improve our content. It's why I research other channels. I'm always interested in new and better ways to, for example, conduct reviews.
@@johnqpublic4012 thank you. We are all trying to learn and improve. Apparently HF saw something that they liked, This wasn’t my first review of a HF product and my others do show using the product in review. With what was going on in my personal life at the time I didn’t have time to go in depth with tips and use on these pry bars. But I may do a follow up this video with that type. If YT was my full time job I would have had a more in-depth review. No worries, I can take constructive criticism. Thanks
Sadly Not everyone has the money to spend on those, and many times they start out with these and move to higher quality as money permits. I do understand and appreciate your point as well. Thanks for commenting.
@@RealWorldGarage imo everytime i cheaped out on a tool its either broke, got me hurt, or cost me more in the long run. Im a union worker thats likes to support american made products. Every once in awhile a cheap tool will get you by but i thought id share an alarming fact with everyone.
No worries. I do like to buy American made. But I know what it was like to be broke and living paycheck to paycheck when I started out. It’s why I have done some of these reviews on the HF tools, if they were total junk I’d say so. I mentioned in this video, to not ask the black pry bars to do more than they are capable of. I do appreciate your opinion and is welcome here. Thanks again for watching and commenting
@@07slowbalt You’re in the minority being a union worker. Most Americans don’t make union scale wages and can’t afford high priced tools, especially those that aren’t used regularly. Harbor Freight has its place for price conscience folks and some of their tools are actually pretty good, like the floor jacks as an example.
@@1971_Chevelle_SS trust me i fully understand. I actually own a daytona jack and though it works perfectly fine, it started rusting 2 years later. I have some ornate files, angle finders, and even a palm sander. Ive had some success for "homeowner jobs". I bought the $45 special auto darkening hood that ive used quite a bit in the field for 16+ years now and it still works perfect. I wasnt always a union guy but even before then i bought craftsman and gear wrench. I went out on black friday to save a few bucks and built my collection up over the years. Its hard to buy anything American made nowadays though. I just like to point out that i wish more people would buy tools made here but its not always available to do so or afford.
Great no BS video sir. You get a new subscriber
Thank you, I have tried to eliminate anything that doesn’t get you an answer in these types of videos. Appreciate the sub and comment.
That's a good bit of knowledge you're sharing here. Thanks for the video!

Many of HF tools are great, and they have improved over time.

The large one is as heavy as any “professional” brand the others have been fine so far. Just don’t ask them to do more than they were designed to do.
Lol I'm making sure I watch the full ad now.
🙌🏻👊🏻 thanks
WOW. he must be the pry bar king
No, but a good variety of pry bars comes in handy. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

Just think folks, everytime you buy a HF tool you put an american made tool company further out of business.
