45 in. Double Cats Paw Wrecking Bar

Worked great. Made taking apart a 20x20 deck a one man project and took less than 2 hours. The claw still looks like new.

The bars seemed to work fine at first but the handles did bend and once they bent they kept bending. I would be able to these on another project.

Works well. Using on marina deck removal. Nice length; heavy duty. Will remove even stuck nails and screws with good leverage. Recommended.

I had about 700sq.ft. of hardwood in a recently purchased house that I needed to get up. I tried my other pry bars, but in the end they just didn't have the leverage. I went to my local HD and saw this one... if it didn't work, it would go back.... it is *not* going back... The hardwood is older and they used the hardened steel flooring nails of the time period... reminds me of the hardened concrete nails... needless to say afterwards there were over 1000 nails that had to be dealt with. I tried a couple of boards first with my other bars and honestly after 10-min I was not getting anywhere at any rate of speed... so after picking this up, I gave it a try... combined with a sledge hammer that I would swing with one hand like a pendulum just to get the head under the boards.... I had the entire area taken up in a matter of a few hours. Then I had to take up the subfloor for other reasons as well and although much of it broke because it was brittle, it tore through it like nobody's business.Perfect, not at all. I wish the claws were another inch or so longer... it would have helped with leverage and picking up wider boards. I did try to get up a sheet of nailed down 3/4" plywood.... regular tools got me nowhere....grabbed this again and had a 4'x4' section popped in 15-seconds. And it was full of nails....about 30 in just that one piece.By itself, it is just OK, adding in a sledge hammer to help push it under the boards.... made all the difference (I did try kicking it with my toe, but for some it worked, others, just not enough!). So after roughly 1400 sq.ft. of flooring among some other work it continues to impress.So overall, 4-stars as it is really good. 5-stars if the claws were just a bit longer.

This tool is a joke. I got it from the local big box home improvement store. I saw quite a few negative reviews on their web site, most of them were saying that the tool broke way too fast. I was removing engineered hardwood in my kitchen, and was looking for a tool which a greater leverage which I could use while standing upright. So I decided to give it a try. The tool, surprisingly, is not made in China but in India. Not sure if it is better or worse. The pictures on the small flyer attached to the tool show images of deck demolition. Basically, you use it as a lever - you position the two claws on both sides of a joist and then tilt the handle to pull the board off the joist. I used it for general demolition, to remove hardwood glued to the subfloor, I would hammer the claws under the wood after cutting though it in squares. There seem to be a conveniently located "head" which looks like it was designed for hammering right at the point where the two claws connect together. Initially it worked like a charm. Huge leverage. Much faster and much more convenient than with a regular wrecking bar. However, after some 10s of square feet and less than half an hour into the process, the tool did not survive hammering and died. It turned out that there was a weak welding joint right at the location where I was hitting it with the hammer. The tool just fell apart. Thanks to the Home Depot, they took it back and issued a refund. I do not know what I would do if I had bought it online.Either the manufacturer should clearly state that it is for deck demolition ONLY (do not hammer on it under any circumstances!) or they should improve the quality of assembly / design. "As is", it is useless for general demolition which involves a hammer.
