Crescent 13 in. Flat Bar W/Grip

Tractor Supply cancels more orders than any company I've ever dealt with. Tough to shop here when this happens every week. Back to Harbor Freight.

I used it on a bathroom remodel when i received it and was very happy with it. The edges are sharp which has been an issue with other brands, the handle seems sturdy enough and doesnt flex. and the grip is a nice extra to have.

After using this product for a variety of projects including; patching in shingles, repairing soffit, and dismantling some old pallets I have come to these conclusions. Pros: While I did not think much about the bright orange color I did find it handy when I set it down and it was easy to find. The rubber grip softened the vibrations felt when striking it with a hammer. I pulled various types of nails including ring/shanked and small trim nails and it was able to bite into them and pull them without pulling the heads off. Also, I was able to remove the tar from the shingle project with mineral spirits without it taking off the orange paint. Cons: I mentioned in the pros that I liked the rubber grip for softening vibrations but it took just one errant hit with the hammer and it tore it (see picture). I’m sure with more use that it will completely fall apart eventually. It also slid a little along the middle. It holds it tight but not quite enough. My final take: even though the rubber grip will most likely break apart and fall off eventually I would still recommend this product. It does well with what it was designed to do.

This is a great product. Well deserving of 5 stars! The product is made with quality materials that I’m not afraid is going to let me down on the job site. The plastic around the handle isn’t too slick where the tool would slip out of my hands but it’s thick enough to absorb the shock and prevent blisters. Wouldn’t change a thing about this. I even love that the color is orange because it stands out in my tool box so it’s easy to find!
