My family works construction, so I did a lot of that as a young man. These things are amazing. I forget which brand I bought last, but you have to be careful and read reviews to find out about the quality of the steel, the angle of the ends, and the sharpness. But you can–I know from experience–demolish a shed, a room, a deck with just one of these and a claw hammer. And you can do that in short order. And, yes, they are very good for hanging heavy doors when you don’t have a helper.

I’ve got big crowbars, a Halligan bar I made that is 30" long, a flat FatMax 20" wrecking bar, and so on. But this little thing sees by far the most use. And that’s why I shared it. (And, apparently, it even got syndicated here!)
