The Estwing GP-18 is an 18-inch gad-style pry bar forged from a single piece of solid American steel. One end carries an angled chisel for prying and lifting slabs and boulders; the opposite end is drawn to a hardened point that breaks, chips, and cracks open rocks and hard material instead of glancing off like a standard pry bar.
It’s the stiletto pry bar of choice for geologists, rockhounds, prospectors, and heavy-construction crews who pry and break in the same task. The patented Shock Reduction Grip cuts impact vibration by around 70% when the pointed tip is used with a striking hammer, and the forged-in-one-piece build handles torque a welded bar can’t survive.
Estwing has been forging hand tools in Rockford, Illinois since 1923 using only American steel. Every forged-in-one-piece Estwing tool is made in the USA and carries the brand’s reputation as the longest-running American striking-tool manufacturer.
