Looking for recommendations on a high quality pry-bar

Aaah the venerable long flat head screw driver. An old prying mainstay for me.

I've been out of commission for a few days so I haven't gotten around to getting by Home Depot or Lowes yet, but as stated, I am looking for an actual prybar. Looking for an Estwing sounds good to me.

If an 18" bar will do the job for you, I strongly recommend the Estwing PB18 model. The I-beam design makes it much lighter than a conventional wrecking bar, and the right-angle end gives a lot of leverage. It's probably as well-made a prybar as you can buy, and it costs $20. Read the reviews on Amazon for more information. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Estwing-18-in-I-Beam-Construction-Pry-Bar-PB18/202183844

Estwing is good stuff !
Now I.ve been using an old 5' prybar to get frozen wood out of my woodpile !! That's a pry bar !

Dead on annihilator looks bad ass. Might pick one up just because it looks like cyber punkish mace.

Most of the reviews on the annihilator aren't very good. Lots of talk about them breaking easily. And the guys over at Zombie Go Boom managed to break one against a cinder block, snapping the bar right in half.

Oooh ok . Thanks for the heads up. I think Stanley makes a similar one also.

I've used the annihilator in demo for 2 years without issue, reviews by those that have never set foot on a construction site are useless.

Dewalt 42" found at Home Depot is probably the best prybar on the market.

The Biostitch 36" is my favorite right now. I use them a lot. http://www.lowes.com/pd_296301-355-...L=?Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&facetInfo=

But I can see why folks that use wrecking bars might like the Dewalt.
