Stanley 55-504 Fatmax Wrecking Bar 36 Inches Spring Steel

Product Description

The STANLEY 55-504 FatMax Wrecking Bar is a 36-inch spring steel pry bar designed for heavy demolition, framing teardown, and material removal tasks. Built with a round bar profile and a claw end, it gives tradespeople solid leverage for pulling nails, prying apart framing members, and lifting subfloor panels. At 5.91 pounds, the bar carries enough mass to assist with impact while remaining manageable for overhead or confined-space work. Spring steel construction resists bending under sustained load, making it a reliable tool for rough carpentry, remodeling crews, and general contractors who need consistent performance through a full demo shift.

This wrecking bar fits squarely into residential and light commercial demolition work. Framers, finish carpenters, remodelers, and general laborers reach for a bar this size when working on wall removal, deck demolition, or salvage projects where controlled prying and nail pulling are the primary tasks. The 36-inch overall length puts it in a mid-range class — long enough for solid mechanical advantage but short enough to work in tighter spaces compared to longer bars in the 48-inch range.

Key Features

• 36-inch overall length delivers strong mechanical advantage for prying and lifting
• Spring steel construction resists permanent deformation under heavy load
• Claw end designed for nail pulling and board separation
• Round bar shape allows rotation in hand for varied prying angles
• 5.91-pound weight provides mass-assist for striking applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose wrecking bar for demolition, framing, and rough carpentry applications. No specific tool system or accessory compatibility is defined for this product.

Installation Notes

No power-down or utility shutoff is required for pry bar use, but always confirm that walls, floors, or structures being demolished are clear of live electrical, plumbing, or gas lines before applying force. Wear eye protection when pulling nails or prying materials under tension. Inspect the bar before use for cracks or deformation at the claw or shank that could indicate metal fatigue.
