Description
The Procat flat pry bar 38 cm is a compact, multi-purpose hand tool for demolition work that needs precision and good leverage. The design of the tool allows easy access to narrow gaps and joints that cannot be reached with traditional thick crowbars.
Both ends of the tool have bevelled, flat tips that make it easier to separate materials without a high risk of damage. This makes it an ideal aid for removing floorboards, trims or panels, for example.
The pry bar is made of durable, torsion-resistant steel. Its shape is flat but still sturdy. The 38 cm length offers a good balance between leverage and control: enough force without being clumsy.
The flat pry bar is suitable for professionals and DIY users alike in renovation, installation and construction work.
Intended use:
-
Removing nails and staples: The bevelled flat end slides easily between the wood and the fastener. You can remove nails or staples without damaging the wood surface too much.
-
Removing trims and panels: The perfect tool for neatly removing skirting boards, wall panels or interior structures, for example, which makes it easier to reuse the parts.
-
Separating building materials: Also suitable for separating boards, planks or other material from each other during demolition. The thin profile gets into joints without a pilot hole.
-
Demolition in confined spaces: Thanks to its flat construction, the tool works excellently in places where a traditional crowbar will not fit, such as behind cabinets and furniture.

Procat pry bar instructions for use:
Choose the spot where you want to remove a nail or take a structure apart. Place the bevelled tip of the pry bar in the joint or under the nail. Use moderate force to push the tool in deeper. Lever it up until the part comes loose. Repeat if necessary. Wear protective gloves and protect your eyes from splinters or loose parts.
The tool needs no lubrication, but keeping it clean and storing it dry extends its service life.
How to choose the right pry bar:
-
Length: A shorter bar (under 40 cm) is suitable for precise work and confined spaces. Longer ones offer more force but are less controllable.
-
Shape: A flat model suits demolition work where you want to minimise damage to structures.
-
Ends: A double-ended pry bar is more versatile, as it can be used in both directions.
-
Material: Strong steel withstands bending and twisting better than cheaper alloys.
-
Intended use: Consider whether the job is removing nails, taking boards apart or heavy structures, and choose accordingly.
