Questions & Answers

Is it possible to unlock doors with it?

Door locks will not be unlocked by it as it can break them open. An I beam alignment tool used by steelworkers to align holes in "I" beams in order to lever them into position. Unlike a locksmith's tool, it is not made for use in lock openings.

Is there a real length to this? The 40" can be found in three different lengths in the description. ?

It measures 29 3/4 inches in real life, which is the length of the OTC 30. According to this guideline, the 40 would be about 40 inches, and the 46 would be about 46 inches, etc. This product is made by an excellent tool manufacturer and these Amazon prices are unbeatable.

How about the quality of these? Do they still come from the United States?

Based on my information, this is indeed a Made in the USA product.

There is a reference to chrome alloy steel on the label. I don't think that's the same as stainless steel, do you?

There's a difference between stainless steel and aluminum. Alloy steel made from chrome is a steel blend that is exceptionally strong.

I am a connector, and I like the OTCPARs a lot
5/5

I am a connector, and I like the OTCPARs a lot. They are very strong and hardened, whereas other bars may have a slightly smaller spud end, but they always bend if you put a lot of force into them. I've used this bar for a long time, and I like the shape of the spoon end. The only reason I am buying another one is because the last one grew Definitely a good bar for connecting, if I may say so myself.

Quite large for its size, but tough as nails
5/5

Generally good tool, I would say that the flat prybar end of the Jimmy bar is slightly sharp, which means that it is possible to cut your arm on the corner edge of the flat prybar end of Jimmy bar if you slip your arm. The 30 inch model might have been a little too large, and I probably should've gotten a 26 instead of 30 inch because it can have a lot of trouble getting into a closet when you're Yet again, this tool is an amazing value for the price.

Those are nice
5/5

There is enough width to allow for connection without compromising the slimness! This bench is strong enough to stand on without having to bend (and I weigh 230 pounds).

OTC of high quality
5/5

Price is great, but there are some flaking spots on the plating, but it makes sense why I got it for a much cheaper price. model, just in case I need the bigger model just in case I get a very stubborn part or a flange.

For automotive technicians, the best pry bar is a pry bar
5/5

I bought this bar because it doesn't flex at all when prying, so I feel safer and it's more precise. I was using my friend's too much, so I had to get one for myself. The front suspension is mostly what I use it for as a Subaru technician.

It's been too long since Jimmy Bar was here
3/5

I noticed that the box was very light when I received my package this afternoon. I opened the box until I found no sleever (jimmy) bar in it. I will give it a 5 star rating when I get my sleever (jimmy).
