Anderzander Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Can anyone recommend a good value pry bar for checking bushes etc on a land rover? I've looked on ebay but I can't really judge the size or quality. I could easily overspend or get something not suitable for the job without a bit of a pointer. Having previously come from the world of motorbikes I don't have one in my tool kit .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozsug Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Ive got one of THESE , plus the smaller ones. You need something about 36' long to get good leverage. doesnt have to be Snap On , just watch cheep ones dont shatter or break, ending you up in A&E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbs Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Do not buy a gorilla bar out of B&Q as I managed to break a couple of them when I was doing Mains drainage clearances in west London about 10 years ago, I managed to break off about 1.5 - 2 inches off of the sharp end as i was trying to gain access to the man hole by loosening/removing the cover with the gorilla bar-I did'nt use any hammers on them, neither was I using something else to lever them up as in an extra length of tubing to gain that extra bit of leverage And yes I am heavy handed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_s Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I bought a £4ish one from Aldi about 3 years ago, it's been severely abused in that time (including demolishing a garage!) and is fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
