GEARWRENCH Indexing Pry Bars

[@christopherthomas8722]

I don’t know if you’ll read this Eric but I started watching your channel when my first son was born 7 years ago and I wanted to work on my car. I’ve since moved on from my interest in working on cars, and am in to exploring caves of all stupid things… …I was looking for compact pry bar for moving rocks and who shows up first in the results? I’m sorry. It was just cool to come full circle back to this part of my life and enjoy it again! So glad to see you staying dirty!

[@mpaulk2023]

The important thing is, and I’m honestly surprised you didn’t mention anything about this all-important must have in the shop; how are they as back scratchers???????

[@ericthecarguy]

Sadly I didn't think of that. Now I need to try it.

[@paedahe4975]

@MikeP good idea. I used mine to change wheels on a 400 lbs. sliding gate. Worked like a charm.

[@SuperSecretSquirell]

I use mine on a near-daily basis to scratch my back. 10/10 would recommend.

"...'cause I'm kinda a tool junkie." Eric, master of understatement.

[@Portuguese-linguica]

That's great in all . But for more I will always find the weak pint to tools that extend or pivot . My dad always said as a kid more parts equal more things that can / will go wrong or break .

[@ionstorm66]

I love the indexing pry bars. Another great gear wrench tool is the 1/4 hex ratchets. They make flex head versions and they fit everywhere. I cut down a set of nut drivers to make low profile sockets for them, and you'd be amazed at the places you can stick it. The head is smaller than any 1/4 ratchet, and with the cut down mut drivers it's 1/2 the depth.

[@kylesanders8276]

Oh man, the valve cover seal removal. Holy cow, super easy, barely an inconvenience.

[@lobbyrobby]

The last several days I've been working on my combine and a local mechanic has been helping. He has the Matco brand one. These tools are so handy!!! I'm going to pick up the 82220. Thanks for this review

[@willb3018]

Needed on of these once. So, I bought a Harbor Freight. No regrets but, if I had an ongoing recurring need, I would get these.

[@seymoarsalvage]

HF has copys of these???

[@julros958]

Harborfreight has a slightly small head, but gearwrench and sata r exactly the same but sata is cheaper , by the way i have both extendables

[@SuperSecretSquirell]

I bought the same kit when I changed to my new job and has been a life-saver in many instances.

[@TreyCook21]

I like the slots on the heads of the bigger pry bars. I bet they grab into what you're prying against to keep from slipping.

[@cesargallo7424]

in the end, everything comes down to pry bars and hammers!

[@888johnmac]

lol .. truth

[@3PhasePower]

indexing pry bars are the best! definitely the first pry bar i grab for just about any job. they sell different styles too. the ones i work with you can pound with a hammer. very versatile

[@davidrasch3082]

The older I get the more I rely on pry bars and extensions-and my son! Been a member of the F.O.B.K.(Fraternal Order of Busted Knuckles) since 1974.

[@backyardmechanic4827]

Ive got one of these and completely agree with you how handy it is

[@MG-tp7hw]

I have the 30" and found the only sorta weak spot is the lock for the telescoping action, loaned it to one of the bigger dudes in the shop and came back unhappy, still works though

[@joshhead9368]

Those are awesome for doing wheel seals on big rigs.

[@JMPK23]

We have the 33in gear wrench prybar at my work. We use the mainly to straighten up pallets on our conveyors. They are awesome.

[@vijayantgovender2045]

Thank you Eric I miss you doing tool reviews please do more tool reviews I am from South Africa

[@The_Cheques_Offender]

I use similar tools for pulling nails while roofing in the U.K. I find the gear adjuster in the heads fail really easily when a good amount of torque is applied

[@georgecroney6168]

Snap On do a set for like 80- 100 quid each. If you use it all day everyday it's worth the money like all their tools. Obviously if you don't, theyre not

[@JayJay-tx9ll]

I got the set love them especially the little on 7.3 injectors make life easy

[@themechanic6117]

I have the 15" version. Love it

[@invertedpolarity6890]

The indexing head is nice but I suspect that part will be the first thing to break when you really need to pry with some force.

[@marcowens3522]

There's a video here on KZbin where they do a strength test with these things and they're stronger then you would think they hand 2000 pounds and up and force which is insane!

[@peterfernandezjr5914]

Comes in handy to disable cat converter thieves.

[@mpaulk2023]

With good timing, and a well placed hook-shot, not only would you motivate your purp to take an immediate nap milliseconds after smashing his cranium into the undercarriage, but he wouldn’t have to worry about making babies ever again!! 🤣😂

[@henri6595]

I got three of these bars, the ones with the red on them. I want the two larger ones eventually!

[@Tmjpwns]

Awesome addition for the toolbox, but unfortunately they are quite fragile over the static heelbar/ladyslipper. Though in heavy equipment you do break quite a few pry-bars and sledgehammers.

[@MonoChorMe]

Hahahaha I too thought of the same thing in that the big one looked like a scythe! 😄

[@JayTdub13]

Raptor claws. Those are nice

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

A good tool is like magic.

[@ranger178]

Gearwrench is the way to go

[@agostinodibella9939]

That’s a great idea and tool Eric!

[@jamesprice3423]

Thanks for the review. I could used these years ago.

[@bayareanewman1566]

Umm I probably should say this publicly however I had the unfortunate circumstance of having to spend a week in the county jail, and on these new tablets they were handing out, they had like 30+ of your videos set up as a course on there. Needless to say I learned quite a bit about brakes and HVAC systems and “what’s the noise” videos. All very entertaining and informative! I’m most definitely a fan. Not sure when the videos in the course were from, I’m thinking at least 10 years ago. There was no mention of KZbin and your production quality has gone up significantly! (Remember an early video where you wrote “FOCUS!! Sorry!!” On the screen? Hahaha dude, this is great stuff, and I appreciate your work!

[@jonathans1472]

Cool tool. I like Gearwrench tools. You look like the grim reaper with that big one. Perfect for zombies. I sort of wish they had pointy ends on the opposite end like your original one did.

[@chemputer]

I remember watching your videos while I was in high school, I subscribed just to learn, and admittedly I haven't been watching very often over the past decade, but occasionally I'll watch a video. You've certainly gone a little grey in the beard! It'd be kinda hilarious to put one of those in your golf bag. You could probably use the big one as a decent golf club, too.

[@ericthecarguy]

Welcome back and thanks for the comment. I love the golf club idea BTW.

[@islandborn1457]

Wow I’ve been watching your KZbin since middle school ! I love your videos You helped me save a lot of money

[@Prariedog]

Great video Eric,thanks for sharing

[@cazarilolsen4630]

I love learning about tools

[@kristianhermann5971]

Funny, just bought one too, along with a heel pry bar set (aka Ladyslipper or Ladysmith). Need to pry some tapered bearing races from a trans in a week. We'll see which works better!

[@jonbelinski9966]

How much leverage will the indexing feature withstand before it gives out, like an old worn ratchet?

[@Phantom-mk4kp]

Bought one 15 years ago, one of my best buys. Tougher than you would imagine

[@Wulthrin]

This is my concern. I would not like a sharp spike accelerating towards my face when/if it slips or breaks

[@ericthecarguy]

I haven't found the limit yet, but I've only been using them for a few months now.

[@popanollie1]

i have a indexing prybar, and im pretty sure its the same brand even but mine is different. the handel end on mine is not pointed, its blunt to hit with a hammer. and the indexing head also has 2 flat spots to hit with a hammer.

[@XxShantilisxX]

I've had these exact tools for a few years, not sure if they're gear wrench but they are great. The telescoping ones flex quite far when fully extended, but I have yet to bend one.

[@JohnDoe-qj8nm]

That was hilarious when you busted out the big one lol

[@geraldharland4357]

These are one of those things you wish you had invented. These are awesome pry bars as a millwright we use these all the time in the steel mill. They take the abuse well . Overall gear wrench tools are pretty descent.

[@ahmadghosheh3104]

Darn it, i don't need them but must have them. 😂

[@JMRSplatt]

What about the durability? I can't imagine that the mechanism will hold up to prying. "Review" .. is not a review but a plug for your sponsor.

[@stevewolf2620]

My thoughts also. What is the warranty?

[@marcowens7234]

The to 33inch and 48inch are far stronger then the other 3 I have never broke the 2 longer one's. And they have a lift time warranty.

[@mrp4837]

Its a nice tool BUT I do not like the slack in the Indexing Hinge Joint! If they made it more firm and secured, I would buy the set.

[@gangrelated2388]

Work good on changing tires when you don't have a tire machine

[@Longtrailside]

Just one of the tools that wont go obsolete when everything goes electric......

[@KenLyns]

They need a pointy end on the handle for aligning bolt holes...

I've got one but mine does not extend. 2 foot version and it is very nice to have.

[@PhillyDee215]

[@nevoyu]

I'll be honest I've seen these adjustable ones before and I never had any faith in them. Then again I've never used a pry ar in this kind of shape.

How strong are the weakest points is the question

[@chasedavis2358]

[@mikegingrich3123]

Man after watching your review I went and bought the 16" gearwrench indexing pry bar first impressions were good but first use something in the indexing system sheared and now it won't lock in just floppy. And no I didn't have a pipe or anything on it it was literally just my arm strength and I'm only 170 pounds so i can't be that strong. Idk maybe I got the one bad one in the group but after smashing the fuck out of my hand I wouldn't dare use one of those big ones my luck it would do the same thing but probably be worse if I'm putting my weight into it and she gives out like the 16 did

[@damnoldguy]

Maybe a "just in time for Christmas " giveaway could be arranged with Gearwrench ?

Good idea. I'll ask.

[@CountryFarmBoyUSA]

@@ionstorm66 Interesting as when I watched it on my phone, it didn't have the note in the upper lefthand corner. When I watched it on my PC it does. So I went back to my phone and watched it, it then had it, but when I rewound it to start it over, it wasn't there. I'm guessing it's added by KZbin at the beginning. I've been having a lot of wonky stuff/issues with KZbin and Facebook lately.

[@ericthecarguy]

GEARWRENCH sent me a bunch of tools at the beginning of the year. I was able to decide which ones I wanted to do a review on. Yes, this is sponsored, I tried to make that clear in the video as well as the description, sorry if it wasn't. However, I meant what I said in the video about the pry bars.
