4050CL Classic Scrape & Pry Bar - Heavy-Duty Multi-Purpose Tool, Hardened Steel Construction, Dual Chisel Edges

As a glazier, this is by far the best flat bar on the market! I've now purchased 3, and the first one i bought a few years ago is still like new. Even after daily abuse.

Made in chinese is not good, but the bar is strong and tough for scraping and prying. There is not substitute for separating materials in the least invasive method possible. The sharp straight end can be pushed into small gaps and the leverage can be used to separate materials without damage. It is a precision demolition tool, but also strong for pulling and levering. Used on a project this weekend to separate parts that had been pinned together, and also for removing a ledger board from a concrete wall. It worked very well for both tasks, and I can't think of a better tool to use for those purposes. It is the perfect size for demolition due to the gradual slope down to a fine edge. You could also easily sharpen it even further with a belt sander, but it would become dangerous to hold in your pocket, as it could cut or tear people and materials. I would recommend this thicker version because it is much more stiff. If you were working with more delicat materials, a thinner blade might be useful, but for the vast majority of tasks, this thicker bar is superior.

I have an original Red Devil bar that is over 43 years old and in my back pocket for any job or project. Indispensable tool once you get used to the plethora of uses this tool offers. I’ve tried other brands but there is no equal. They quit making this prybar for a long time. So glad for the remake. Compared to the original the new one feels a little thicker. I’m going to purchase more for all my tool bags and boxes. Very impressed.

Decent jimmy bar. My only complaint is they aren't made in the US any longer and the metal is a little more brittle than the actual original.

Amazing, exactly as advertised, I highly recommend.

I've bought probably 13 different brands of trim pullers, broken and bent every single one, besides this, it's sturdy enough for and job, big or small. I install doors and windows, sometimes I have to pry up on 200+ pound windows to add shims to level off, this handles it like a piece of base. I use it to scrape old sill sealant, I replaced my 3" floor scraper, the tapered edge helps me get in/under near anything. Best price for a tool of this quality, and the quality is better than anything else out there. Kudos to Red Devil for producing such an immaculate tool

As a carpenter and handyman there are a few tools that I can't live without - Irwin Vicegrip Groovelock pliers, Little Giant style ladders, Milwaukee hydraulic drive impact drivers, and Red Devil bars. They are mill finish so if rust is a concern, buy the black version. It is a very good tool. Or spray it with something like WD40 and wipe it off before putting it away if it will be sitting for a while. If you use it regularly rust will not be an issue. If your hammer rusts, this will rust. If your hammer doesn't rust, this won't. I saw one review saying he received it with scratches and dents. Driving a good drill bit into it with a hammer might leave a little ding (or maybe a mark) so I am thinking he is talking about a different product. I did actually break one in 2008 by trying to pry up a 3'x3' section of sidewalk, and I realized that there wasn't actually room to pry it up in that fashion. I sharpened the broken end with my grinder and still use it as a backup. So I can't say that it's unbreakable, but I can say that you can use it under extreme conditions without worrying about it. We don't have the technology to make anything as thin as a Red Devil bar that is literally unbreakable. For all practical purposes, it is. If you do something like use it to burrow through a 2x4 with a sheetrock screw it by beating on it with a good-sized hammer, you might nick the tip and need to resharpen it with your grinder and it will be good as new. There aren't many scraping tools out there that you can beat on with a hammer.

These prybars are tested and built to last out in the real world. Will be buying some more for my coworkers

I used this to pry up two rooms of carpet and the tack boards. Plus skirting. I was so amazed with its versatility. There is a little hole that takes up the nails in the floor that works better than designated tools for that purpose. I love this thing. Best purchase. Just the right size and really packs a punch when trying to pry really difficult to remove skirting and tack boards.

I still have my original Red Devil 4050 purchased 25 years ago and it been a tremendously useful and robust tool. Bought the 4050CL for my son as starts out on his carpentry journey. 4050CL is significantly thicker than my original to the point that I would say it too thick. Best pry bar slips under trim, architraves and skirting boards relatively easily so it can be removed without too much damage and be reused.

Really impressed with the sturdiness and quality feel of this pry bar. 10x better then my previous one which I couldn't find so I ordered this one. Glad I couldn't find the old one after using the Red Devil.

Not as thin as an average glazer bar but happy with the quality.
