A crowbar with a curved chisel end to provide a fulcrum for leverage and a goose neck to pull nails. A crowbar, also called a wrecking bar, pry bar or prybar, pinch-bar, or occasionally a prise bar or prisebar, colloquially gooseneck, or pig bar, or in Australia a jemmy, [1] is a lever consisting of a metal bar with a single curved end and flattened points, used to force two objects apart or ...
Wedge — an unsharpened blade for digging, breaking and prying. A San Angelo bar has a wedge at one end. Chisel — a sharpened blade for cutting roots, digging and prying. A pinch point bar has a chisel at one end. Bars are typically 5 to 6 ft (1.5 to 1.8 m) long and weigh 15 to 23 lb (6.8 to 10.4 kg).
My Dad, a former Seabee, referred to the kind of bar with a chisel point on one end and the other end tapering to a rounded end, as a "crowbar"--that type of bar is sold in the local hardware stores as a "pinch point bar" (they have other bars that are similar to the photo in the "spud bar" article), and its original purpose was not digging--it ...

Temperature vs. heat load diagram of hot stream (H 2 O entering at 20 bar, 473.15 K, and 4 kg/s) and cold stream (R-11 entering at 18 bar, 303.15 K, and 5 kg/s) in a counter-flow heat exchanger. "Pinch" is the point of closest approach between the hot and cold streams in the T vs. H diagram.
Power flows from left to right: The power supply (not shown) connects to the left-hand side of the diagram, and the protected device (also not shown) is connected on the right. Once the crowbar is tripped, the only way to reset it is to replace the fuse. 206.210.75.84 21:53, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
A breaker bar is able to create a larger amount of rotational force compared to a standard socket wrench. A standard breaker bar is strong enough to allow the user to apply up to 2,500 pound-feet (3,400 N⋅m) of torque without breaking the bar. [3] A high-end 1/2" socket wrench can withstand a maximum of 500 pound-feet (680 N⋅m) of torque. [4]
Pincers are a hand tool used in many situations where a mechanical advantage is required to pinch, cut or pull an object. Pincers are first-class levers , but differ from pliers in that the concentration of force is either to a point, or to an edge perpendicular to the length of the tool.
