The Estwing PB-18 is an 18-inch nail puller and pry bar forged from a single piece of solid American steel. The I-beam cross-section on the shank resists bending under the heavy torque of pulling framing nails, and the cat’s-paw head is geometry-tuned to outperform standard paw tools on stubborn nails.
It’s sized for carpenters, woodworkers, demolition crews, framers, roofers, and tradesmen who pull nails all day and want one bar that won’t flex, bend, or snap. The angled chisel end on the opposite side slips under boards for prying and lifting, and the forged-in-one-piece build means there’s no joint to work loose across years of heavy use.
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.
