Innovative Adjustable Design Allows for Easy and Secure Toolbox Storage

The new GearWrench pry bar extends from 24 to 48 inches and functions like a standard pry bar while offering indexing flexibility in the head and length.

The new 48-inch extendable pry bar, which can withstand more than 400 pounds of force, features a forged alloy head that is adjustable to 14 angles and rotates 180 degrees. Technicians and tool users in the automotive, construction, industrial and steel industries benefit from the lightweight tubular design and increased access in applications where lifting and shifting are required.

"Our customers told us that job-site theft is a major problem when it comes to the longer pry bars," said Kenneth Escoe, vice president of marketing for GearWrench. "The GearWrench extendable pry bar literally reaches new lengths at 48 inches and provides users with the satisfaction of knowing they can store this tool securely in a drawer."

The 48-inch extendable pry bar is available through mobile tool drivers and industrial tool distributors. The extendable pry bar retails for $149-$159.

Hand Tool Revolutionizes Standard Nail Puller By Adding Indexing Pry Bar Functionality

Designed to provide access in narrow spaces, the indexable nail puller allows both do-it-yourself enthusiasts and professional tool users to adjust the nail puller to accommodate varying surface angles.

The new indexable nail puller features a pry bar, and measures 12 inches. The forged alloy head adjusts to 14 angles and 180 degrees for maximum versatility and enhanced leverage in carpentry, roofing, remodeling and custom woodwork applications.

"With the indexable nail puller, GearWrench went beyond the standard features to create a hand tool that makes a tough task easier," said Kenneth Escoe, VP of Marketing for GearWrench. "Reaching in between rafters, ceiling joists and studs to remove nails can be difficult and can slow down even the most experienced professional. This new tool demonstrates GearWrench's commitment to launching new innovations that solve common user problems and allow users to work more efficiently."

The indexable nail puller is suitable for nail sizes 4D to 10D and fits into most nail pouches. Indexable nail pullers from GearWrench can be purchased at sears.com and through mobile tool drivers and industrial tool distributors. The indexable pry bar will retail for $24.99 to $29.99.
