Proto J2148 Screwdriver Pry Bar 31.875 in Oal

Product Description

The PROTO J2148 is a screwdriver-style pry bar built for heavy-duty prying, scraping, and aligning tasks in trade and industrial environments. With an overall length of 31.875 inches and a 0.75 inch tip, this bar delivers the leverage needed for stubborn fasteners, gasket removal, component alignment, and general disassembly work. Weighing 2.32 pounds, it offers solid mass without being cumbersome. The screwdriver tip profile makes it well suited for slotted applications and tight-clearance prying where a flat bar would not seat properly. HVAC technicians, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance trades all reach for this type of bar on unit teardowns and rough-in work.

The J2148 fits residential and commercial service scenarios where a mid-length pry bar is needed for controlled leverage. The 31.875 inch overall length puts it in the 25 to 35.9 inch range, making it long enough for meaningful mechanical advantage while remaining manageable in confined equipment rooms and rooftop unit bays. It is appropriate for metal panel removal, equipment repositioning, and component separation on a wide range of service calls.

Installation Notes

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection, when prying or scraping components. Ensure the equipment or assembly being serviced is de-energized, depressurized, or otherwise made safe before applying leverage. Do not use the pry bar as a striking tool or apply force beyond the bar's rated design intent. Inspect the tip for deformation before each use and retire the tool if damage is present.
