      Perfect companion for the baseball bat in my trunk.

      • +2

        This can fit under your seat easier. Plus if you get stopped can say you where prying out a car part!

        • What kind of car part? I need a good excuse ;)

          @shrugies: removing hubcaps?

      • @VBO Not as good as the cricket bat in my boot

    • Also the perfect companion for someone elses car.

  • Are these made in USA

    • +2

      Not sure of your intension with your question, however it does remind me of Marge from The Simpsons: Ooh, an oyster mallet. "Made in U. S. A." [Groans] No, thank you. Which I never got the joke, if anyone can explain it to me that would be greatly appreciated.

        It's a similar gag to this one in the IT crowd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EBfxjSFAxQ

        I think it's just that Americans and British people see locally made stuff as rubbishy.

        • I always thought had a deeper meaning than just that

      • +3

        It's just a running joke that American products are inferior.

        (Ned is driving Homer around but Homer tells him to duck because he doesn't want people to know they became friends)
        Lenny: Look, Homer's got himself one of those robot cars
        (car crashes)
        Carl: One of those American robot cars

    Also doubles as an excellent 1-stop solution to approaching road-ragers.

    Apex gang, supporting your local Bunnings

        No, the Apex gang beat you

        Well, beat the crap out of you and take your car..

    Bikies!

    Heaps of people have saved plenty of money using one of these.

  • For a store that doesn't have sales Bunnings seem to have a lot of sales.

    • Lol. I see what you did there. :-)

  • My young fella wants to know if it's any good at removing the lock on his big sisters diary?

    • +2

      Those locks are just the most basic old latch. Teach him some valuable life skills with a bobby pin instead. Finding the extent and nonsense of teenage girl ramblings will also be a life skill.

  • Hey Simmsy this would be more effective than your 9 iron.

  • +10

    Did anyone else think of the game Half Life when they saw this?

    • Wrecking Bar? I believe they meant "Headcrab Removal Aparatus"

  • +3

    can't believe it but I actually need one of these to pull down an old shed…. First necessity buy ever on OZB….. :D

      Wouldn't it be reality?

      Or is this just a fantasy?

    reads "you may roll your strength check when using the wrecking bar and add another 1d6"

  • +1

    Great for defending gang home invasions in Melbourne since the police are badly under resourced.

  • +2

    Just be aware having weapons in your car makes YOU the potential suspect in the police's eyes
    Doubly so for house breaking tools

    • Do you reckon this would be dangerous to carry when urbexing? Like if cops checked your bags and found a prybar that would indicate guilt?

  • +1

    Cheaper than a baseball bat if you're from the western suburbs and part of a vigilante community defence group!!

    Do they have a padded one for under pillows?

    I can't believe no-one has mentioned the zombie apocalypse - there it is said.

    As someone who has a Ph.D. degree in Theoretical Physics and is doing analysis on anomalous materials using a anti-mass spectrometer, I suddenly feel the urge to buy one of these before going in to work tomorrow.

    Should I??

    • Yes.

      Your degree is very cliche, did you get it off of the Big Bang Theory?

      • +1

        Half Life has nothing to do with that horid show.

      • -1

        Misses Half Life reference…
        makes a Big Bang Theory joke instead…

        /quadruple facepalm

        Just joking. :) TBBT is still shite though.

    Sweet time for GTA Go at popular PokƩStops

  • Would this be a bad idea…

  • +5

    450mm is a pretty silly prybar. Think of a ruler then add one half of another ruler onto it.
    Pay the extra few bucks and get the 900mm model.

    • 900mm doesn't fit under the seat of the car as well.

      • On tucked in the back of your trousers under your high visibility vest.

    • +1

      Not at all. I'm a fitter who does overhauls on VLine trains. This is perfect as a pry bar for separating stuck flanges and working stubborn parts and bolts free. 900mm is way too large for me as I have my arms over my head all day, 5 to 6 days a week, 7.5 hours a day. This size is perfect, and stronger than the pry bars with the plastic handles (that can't be hammered, and flex when worked hard).

    • It's ideal to have both a small and large one.

      Small one for tighter spots.

  • +1

    Relive Playing halflife….(ah I just read up and saw I was beaten to the joke :p )

  • Apex gang certified?

  • A Sicilian-Greek (Archimedes) once said:"Give me a lever long enough and I will lift the Earth."

    (Un-?)fortunately I won't need one - Small Chinese plastic spudgers usually work wonders in my trade.

    Don't we call it crowbar? Or is that for Americans? Anyways gg l4d2.

    • +1

      I have got to hand it to you. You have got it in one.

    • +1

      Always thought it was called a crowbar. Never heard wrecking bar before.

      • I use to call it crow bar but many in the trade call it a pinch bar (ironically not for pinching stuff).

        crow bar is probably what most people call it, then again most people will refer to a shifter as a spanner, or a vice as a clamp.

  • Adam Sandler's weapon of choice

  • I was going to buy 1 for lifting a door that keeps scrapping the tiled floor. After reading the introduction I think I will buy 3 instead. Definitely going to store 1 in my car and carry 1 in my backpack at all time when dealing with Pokemon Go players.

    • good find; I never would have thought of kmart

    I know most are jokes, but unless you are a fireman or something that can seriously justify carrying this in your car the police MAY consider it just a weapon and fine you. Not as serious as carrying a knife in your car but its a gamble.

    Source: asked my Cop uncle.

    • Anything can be considered a weapon, including a screwdriver or hammer in your boot by that logic.
      Just don't act like a douche or give any reason for police to search your entire car

      • Its worse if you conceal it and they do search your car.

      • +3

        The very reason I carry an ice hockey mask when I have my chainsaw in the back.

      • Door pocket or side of seat…..asking for an arrest.
        In the tool box with the chisel and hammer, won't get a second glance.

    "Bart! Leave that crowbar here, you know I don't like you prying and jimmying"

    To be honest the best part of buying a machete or crowbar from bunnings is that you get to walk out of the shop looking totally badass.

  • Was looking to buy a month ago, super price.
    And he has a new album out now, not bad!

    Would this be suitable to wack a 'Broden'?
