Pry Bars / Demo Tools
Picking the Right Pry Bar for the Job
This collection spans light trim work through heavy wrecking. For finish carpentry, choose molding bars from Stanley, the Milwaukee molding puller, the Stiletto titanium trim bar, or DeWALT and Milwaukee precision pry bars. For framing and teardown, pick wrecking bars from 30 to 42 inches, flat bars, claw bars, and the Stanley FuBar utility bar. Milwaukee and Stiletto nail pullers pull fasteners cleanly, and Stiletto titanium glazer bars serve window and glazing work.
What to Look For
- Length. Short bars give control in trim work. Long wrecking bars add leverage for joists, decking, and framing.
- Material. Stiletto titanium bars are lighter to carry all day. Steel bars cost less and take hard abuse.
- Tip shape. Thin, wide tips slip behind trim without marring walls. Claw tips grip and pull nails.
- Sets. The Milwaukee 4-piece pry bar set covers several lengths in one purchase.

Pry Bars / Demo Tools FAQ
Nail puller or claw bar?
A nail puller has a narrow, sharp jaw you drive under a nail head, even a flush or sunken one. A claw bar is broader and pries boards apart while pulling nails. Remodelers often carry a nail puller for trim and a claw bar for framing.
How do I remove trim without damaging it?
Use a thin molding bar or trim puller and place a putty knife or shim behind it against the wall. Work along the length in small steps rather than prying hard in one spot.
