Great video in my opinion the Snap-on And Cornwell have the best handle. Also I have 2 Ampro pry bars because I’m just starting out and they are good so far no bending and I have used them a ton.
I bought the Cornwell pry bars because I like a comfort handle, though not soft handle. I also thought the Cornwell pry bars felt most direct compared to the others
Cool! I picked up a set on sale for less than $20 (!) and they've been holding up really well but I haven't really stressed them super hard. I'm pretty sure the shank goes all the way through the handle, (checked with a magnet). I also have the 36" Craftsman that I got *_dirt cheap_* on sale but the shank does not go all the way through the handle. Still a good tool.
@Justin Rios their pry bars arent. They're made by wilde. At the end of the day it's a pry bar dude. Its gonna get beat up and abused. Go ahead and spend $200 on something you're gonna smash up. It's your money
No problem buddy. Hey, also check out the new Milwaukee ones. Man they have an I-beam design and I bet they're stronger than all the others: www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-Pry-Bar-Set-4-Piece-48-22-9214/303010099
+Jeffrey SmokeyBones O'Malley From what i can tell Tekton doesn't offer a 1/2" shank. All the bars are 24". I think it just shows the Tekton falls a bit short in the strength department when compared to its pro grade counterparts. The Tekton has its place in my tool box :)
+Seth C The tekton bent with very little affort. I pulled on the other bars much harder id say because they didn't give much. Thanks for checking out the vid my friend
Next time compare a Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini, and a Honda Civic SI
Ironically the civic will last the longest.....
😂😂😂
What about Mayhew?
How about tekton's new made in the USA prybars?
Yes they're good and they're also rebranded Wilde. Pretty good value but I prefer the Mayhews
The Matco does seem to be slightly longer or have more handle leverage. Possibly the reason it bent a little more?
What about the Walmart brand hyper tough 25inch?
I don't like the sharp angle on the cornwell seems like it would gouge into soft and thin metal.
The new USA made striking versions are much better, and the shaft is 1/2 inch.

Really disappointed that you didn't include the made in USA Craftsman with the strike end-cap.

Yup that's what you see with a lot of the pro grade stuff

The Matco is a rebranded Mayhew for twice the the money.
Mathew is the way to go.
Nice selection I have the mastercraft set of striking heads
+Dan Bates
Cool i do prefer pry bars that are bolstered thanks for checking out the vid
I have the Craftsman striking cap pry bars and they have held up great
Milwaukee is entering the pry bar game with an I-beam style shank. I believe they will be available in or around September.
+Jefferson Parker
Ill have to pick one up
Was deciding between the matco and snap-on. I am getting the snap on. I like the cool old-school look any way
Honestly I see everyone talking about Tekton being equal to Snap-on and “why waste money” - just extrapolate this to everything they make.
If he had used the updated Tekton USA made striking prybar, things would have been much different.
He used the cheap tekton bar they offer. Not their USA made ones!
Really?? A Tekton vs these top brands 🙄🙄🙄
You need to get a job!! That video was garbage. No info at all.
Why didn't you use Tekton's higher end striking cap bars?
+adamaj
Actually didn't even know they made those thanks for the comment my friend. Took me a second to find them but they're in my shopping cart.

Will do thanks for the advice
thats not a fair comparison for the smaller Tekton.

Thanks for the link but I don't think that bar was available when I made that video
3/8 is way to thin
+dropn loads
No kidding not sure why its 3/8
You pulled on that tekton so much harder than the others and ya didn't let go of it either I mean I don't doubt it's lower quality just saying

Do you really think that a 3/8 shank is just as strong as a 1/2 shank?
