A precision molding and trim pry bar from Stanley -- the trusted choice for contractors, renovation crews, and facility maintenance teams who need to remove molding, trim, and baseboards cleanly without damaging the surrounding material. The Stanley 55-117 is forged from tempered high-carbon steel with a flat, polished surface on one end for precise penetration under molding and trim, and a beveled claw on the other for nail pulling and prying. At just 10" and 0.67 lbs., it's compact enough to work in tight spaces where a full-size wrecking bar would cause collateral damage.
Key Features:
- Flat Polished Surface for Precision Molding Work: The flat, polished surface on the prying end is specifically designed to slide cleanly under molding, trim, and baseboards without gouging or cracking the material -- making clean, damage-free removal possible even on finished surfaces.
- Forged High-Carbon Steel (HCS) Construction: Forged and tempered high-carbon steel construction delivers extreme strength and long-lasting durability -- resisting bending and deformation under the leverage forces required for nail pulling and prying tasks.
- Beveled Claw for Nail Pulling & Prying: The beveled claw end drives cleanly under deeply embedded nails with a flat striking face -- providing reliable nail extraction and prying leverage on renovation, carpentry, and demolition tasks.
- Tempered to Reduce Chipping & Spalling: Heat-treated and tempered construction reduces the risk of chipping and spalling during heavy use -- a critical safety feature for hand tools subjected to repeated striking and prying forces on job sites and in facility maintenance environments.
Where to Use:
- Renovation & Unit Turnover Work: The go-to molding bar for removing baseboards, door casings, window trim, and crown molding cleanly during apartment unit renovations and property turnover projects.
- Carpentry & Finish Work: Flat surface and precision tip suit fine carpentry applications where clean material removal without surface damage is essential -- paneling, wainscoting, cabinet removal, and decorative trim work.
- General Facility Maintenance: Compact 10" size is practical for maintenance crews handling a wide range of prying, lifting, and nail-pulling tasks in tight spaces across commercial and residential properties.
- Demolition & Construction: Forged HCS construction handles the demands of light demolition, flooring removal, and general construction disassembly tasks where a compact, precise pry bar is preferred over a full-size wrecking bar.
