I picked up a Crom mini ratchet on Amazon Haul the other day, and I was pretty impressed by the quality, so when I saw this adjustable pry bar come up for review on Amazon Vine, I jumped on the opportunity to try out some other tools from this manufacturer.I've mostly used pry bars in a demolition context -- I have a couple from Harbor Freight I used to tear apart my kitchen ceiling in preparation for our remodel. Even in that scenario I had a lot of moments where I wasn't able to get the angle I wanted with the tools I had, limiting the leverage I could apply and overall making the job a lot more difficult than in needed to be. I think the adjustable head on this Crom pry bar would have come in _super_ handy on that job. I can also imagine cases where the ability to choose the longest length that will fit a particular corner would be super useful -- more than once I had to try to pry off a stubborn 2x4 with my short trim prybar because I wasn't able to get the longer one to fit.A possible downside of this pry bar is it doesn't seem like the kind of tool you can hammer on (which I've done a lot of -- maybe incorrectly -- with my cheap HF pry bars) -- there's not really any flat surface where you can apply force. It also doesn't have a cat's paw/nail remover -- but again, probably not the right tool for that job. I get the sense that this prybar is more intended for automotive work than construction, but I haven't had a need for a prybar there yet with my minimal wrenching (I am doing suspension soon, so maybe this crom prybar will be perfect for that job).I did a bit of research on similar offerings from well known brands -- it seems like this Crom version is pretty close to the GearWrench 82220 (which runs around $100). So the current listing price of around $45.99 seems like a pretty decent deal -- certainly good enough for me, since I suspect I won't use it more than a couple times a year. One should note that I read a lot of folks really dislike adjustable pry bars, since the adjustable head adds bulk that can prevent the pry bar from fitting in a tight space (and obviously, a tool without any moving pieces has far fewer ways in which it can fail).Overall this tool seems well built -- finish is a bit coarse, but nothing that will affect its utility (and it's going to get beat up anyways). I had no problems making any of the adjustments, although I could imagine a tool made to higher tolerances might slide a bit better. I wouldn't be excited to have this break on me under pressure, so I'll probably only reach for it when one of my solid pry bars doesn't fit -- but seems like a great option to have in the toolbox -- I definitely have had lots of instances in the past where it would have been helpful. Overall, I'm pretty stoked on the pickup and continue to have a positive impression of Crom.

This adjustable pry bar is excellent. The indexing of positions not just for the hook end but for the extension part really gives you a lot of options to pry with. There is so much adjustment you can make to the head of it as it will bend forward almost all the way but also backwards to give you additional leverage options in weird spaces. It has good size to it with being small enough to throw in a tool box or box without weighing it down but also big enough to have some durability to it. The functionality you get from this size is really great because there are bigger bars out there for big jobs but a lot of the time you just need something a little more than a hammer or a regular pry bar can give you, this is that versatile in-between tool that fills the gap. Even with gloves on the buttons to adjust the length and the head tilt are easy to use. For the money this is absolutely a no brainer value. The only suggestion I would make is maybe some more knurling or something to give you a little more grip if you need to choke up on the end of the bar with the second hand.

This extendable, adjustable pry bar comes in a simple white box - picture 1. Pry bar has 2 simple controls. Picture 2 shows extension - press button indicated by yellow arrow and length is adjusted by one of 14 indent stops, blue arrow. Action is very positive and stops are deep enough to be indexed solidly with little chance of slipping. Claw is adjustable around its pivot point by pressing on the button indicated by yellow arrow in picture 3. Claw can be rotated into any position up to its natural stopping point on both ends - picture 4 is an example. I did not count each one, but I estimate there are at least 30 notches on the pivot wheel and they are deep enough to provide solid fixation at the required angle when locked in. This pry bar is quite heavy at ~780g - picture 5. In hand, bar feels solid and substantial. Action is smooth, precise and without binding, indicating parts are machined to high tolerances. I used this pry bar to move a baseboard on my fence that popped loose - picture 6. Inverted claw (exaggerated blue line) came in handy for biting into ground and I leveraged long handle to muscle board into place. This is a quality made, well-engineered pry bar that is suitable for many tasks due to its versatility.

This is a good value for a good quality pry bar that’s both adjustable and extendable in the length but the angle of the pry bar itself is also very adjustable.The quality is excellent, it’s sturdy, well made and has some literal weight to it. It’s weighty, but not so heavy that it’s difficult to use, or lift. For the size, the weight will help give it some leverage during use.The construction is in a CR-V (chrome vanadium) steel with a manganese phosphate finish in an ebony tone. It’ s rated to be resistant to rust and corrosion.It’s not a standard, traditional pry bar or crow bar in the shape or style It’s different with an angled vs flat bar style end.The pry bar end is adjustable in the angle and pivot. It can be swiveled and moved up to 180 degrees in either direction, then locked into that position during use. It says in the 180 degree angle there are 14 different angled positions it can be adjusted to and locked into place.This also means that you can adjust the angle, but also if the curved lower end is upward during use, or the domed top of the curved end is upward during use. So you can use the c curve shape or the top of the c curve shape on the pry bar angle and shape.Note that the pry bar end is not sharp and isn’t made to cut or saw. It’s made to pry and help loosen without causing harm to the material you’re using it on. It’s meant to be used for leverage to pry an item loose.Length wise, it’s very adjustable in length. It is a telescoping style that you push to make shorter or pull to make longer. The length can be shortened down to a minimum length of 13.3”. The length can be extended to the maximum length of 18.5”.In between the 13.” up to 18.5” there are 13 length settings in-between. The adjustments are numbered so you can see them on the bar. It’s a slide, click and lock style to lock it into place.The handle is easy to hold during use and has a good feel in the hand. It does have knurled grip areas on the handle to make it easier to hold and grip securely.No storage bag or storage case comes with it. No use instructions come with it.
