            This is not as ridiculous as you might think... I got one of these big bars at HF last year, and paid like $50 for it. Look at this one on Amazon, and it's smaller than the Craigslist bar...

              It's still kind of high for a used, bent looking, digging bar.

              I've got a 60" pinch point crow bar. It really comes in handy sometimes.

                    I guess the "compatable filter" slides onto the small end huh?

                      Scrap steel prices must have gone up lately!
                      Why doesn't the word 'planing' show up in my computer spell check?

                        Yup. That pretty much sums up Amazon's "targeted marketing" effort. Idiots...

                          Twenty five pounds...impressive. Best of all, it's non-sparking.

                            Craigslist is a perpetual souce of amusement. I love it. Here's another recent "bargain".

                              The one in the ad appears to be the one Lowes sells for under $20. The dimensions and end configuration are consistent.
