The TEKTON 50° Angled End Mini Pry bar is thoughtfully designed in every way; angled end, shaft and handle. The 50° angled end provides a greater range of motion for prying and lifting up components than most other small pry bars. The glass reinforced nylon handle resists damage from extreme temperatures, high impacts, chips and cracks, scratches and dents, fuels and grease and cleaners and solvents. The strong steel shaft is made from Ni-Cr-Mo alloy hardened to 50-54, ensuring that it won't bend under pressure. The protective black oxide coating is corrosion resistant and can't flake or chip off like other finishes. Our family of mini pry bar, pick and hook products is made entirely in Michigan with only sourced materials. Machining, bending, coining, handle molding and press-fitting the handle and blade take place at our Grand Rapids, Michigan manufacturing facility.
