Duck Prybar

Yes! Exactly what the world needs more of: inventive pry bars for decking! We tend to stay away from this category of tools because we don't really know what to say other than, "Um...yeah...it looks like it can pry up a board." But since we like ducks, we thought we'd give a holler about the Duck Prybar.

One end of the Duck Prybar is hooked like a crowbar and the other has one of those forked ends which allows you to leverage off of a joist and easily pop up a deck board. The forked end is hinged, so unlike other pry bars, you can set the angle depending on where you're standing in relation to the boards you're pulling up. You can even get it so you're standing on the deck as you pull up boards, which is nice. Other than that, um.. it sure looks like it can pry up a board.

What do you guys think about all of these specialty demo bars (Gutster, Duckbill Deck Wrecker, Duck Prybar)? We've done a whole lot of ripping stuff up in our days and so far have never been dissatisfied with a simple crowbar, a hammer, and a wonder bar (all of which fit in a normal tool bag). Maybe if you're on a demo crew something like this could come in handy, but otherwise, we don't see any reason to stray from the old classics that have done us so well in the past. Not to mention, this thing will set you back $125, which seems like a lot.
