where to get a long pry bar from

hi all,

does anyone know where I can get a 1 meter or 1.5 meter breaker or leverage bar ?

I don't want to spend £60 on a socket wrench which is 1 meter rather need some pry bar so can use it in my mechanic works.

sometimes with my 60cm bar it is very hard to move a wishbone etc in a car . need a longer bar.

many thanks

Old exhaust that is being thrown from a garage that swaps exhausts... cheapest place.

41mm combo spanner, ring end usually does it for me

or a 2.1/2" OD x 1mtr stainless steel tube at work if the going gets tough:D

As to where to get one... give a builder a box of biscuits for for an old scaffold tube :p

I think OP means a pry bar, not a crack bar/ratchet/allen key extension. Try getting in contact with a machinery moving company, they usually use them for shuffling things into final positions.

Something like this?

They usually call the large pry/crowbars wrecking bars. Screwfix, builders merchants etc do them

Ah.

Do you know any farmers?

You need an old tine off a front-end loader. Most will have a few lying about.

Do you mean in relation to the strikes? What makes you ask? Never really spoke about it in detail but I know he said things were a struggle financially in that time.
