  • Gooseneck design provides leverage for prying tasks

True Temper Gooseneck Wrecking Bar 12 in

The True Temper 1169400 is a 12-inch gooseneck wrecking bar made from black steel for demolition and prying tasks. Its single curved end features flattened points with a small slot on both ends for nail pulling and leverage. The tool suits electricians and contractors who need a compact wrecking bar for tight spaces. It meets ASME standards and is sold new without a separate handle.

Manual operation means no thermals noise

As a hand tool, this wrecking bar produces no heat, noise, or electrical consumption during use. Performance depends entirely on user-applied force and leverage rather than a motor or battery. The steel construction absorbs impact without overheating, and there are no moving parts to generate sound or require energy input.

Tether ready no means no lanyard attachment point

The bar lacks a tether-ready feature, so it cannot be secured to a tool belt or wrist lanyard for drop prevention. Users working at height must rely on manual grip retention or add an aftermarket tether solution. No bundled accessories or software are included with this standalone steel bar.

Questions about this item

How do I position the 12 in gooseneck wrecking bar so the chisel end engages properly?

Place the flattened point with its small slot against the material, then rock the curved neck to gain leverage; the common mistake is striking the bar sideways instead of driving it straight in.

What upkeep does the steel bar need over time?

Wipe the black finish clean after each use, apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust, and inspect the chisel edge for mushrooming — dress it with a file if the tip spreads.

At what point does the 1/2 in bar start to bend during heavy prying?

The 12 in length gives considerable leverage, so the steel yields before the ASME-rated capacity is exceeded; stop if the neck shows permanent deflection.
