Alignment Pry Bar, 16 in

This alignment pry bar measures 16 inches in overall length and is forged from fully through-hardened chrome steel. It is heat-treated to a hardness of 35-40 HRC for durability in prying and alignment tasks. The tool features a chisel-style end and a pointed end with an offset, straight angle design. It is intended for automotive, construction, and general maintenance applications.

Material hardness and heat treatment

The chrome steel construction undergoes full through-hardening and heat treatment to achieve a 35-40 HRC rating. This hardness level provides resistance to bending and wear during normal prying and aligning operations. The material properties are designed to withstand typical mechanical leverage forces without deformation. No tether-ready feature is included on this model.

Sustained leverage and prying tasks

Under sustained load, the through-hardened steel maintains its structural integrity and resists permanent bending. The 35-40 HRC hardness ensures the chisel and point ends retain their shape during extended prying sessions. The tool is built for repetitive alignment work where consistent leverage is applied over time. California Proposition 65 warnings apply regarding chemical content.

Questions about this item

How do I use the offset chisel end on the 16 in pry bar without bending it?

Apply steady force along the bar's axis; the 35-40 HRC chrome steel resists bending when the chisel point engages squarely.

Will the chrome finish on this alignment bar wear off and need re-coating?

The fully through-hardened chrome steel surface withstands normal abrasion; no re-coating is required under typical use.

At what point does the 5/8 in diameter bar start to flex during heavy prying?

The 35-40 HRC heat treatment keeps deflection minimal until loads approach the steel's yield strength.
