Title: Mayhew Prybar -- This was a deal!
Post by: goodfellow on Jan 18, 2025, 09:24 AM
Posted this a few years ago and it must have been a pricing mistake at the time.

Zoro/Grainger ran a special on these Mayhew bars for the amazing sum of $26 delivered, but when I ordered the bar through Paypal, I received a notice that it was on back order. I assumed the deal was done and I had been too late to get the deal. Usually Zoro doesn't charge the Paypal account until they order is processed, yet the order had been languishing in my Paypal account for quite a long time.

Last week it showed up in huge mailer tube -- it was leaning against my garage when I came home. I lucked out -- thanks Zoro!!! This thing will move anything --  thumbsup2

These days such a fine tool would be pointless for me to buy since both of my shoulders have been replaced. 

This spring I plan on pulling the heads on my old 72 Chevy truck. In the old days I would have just lifted each head over the fender, no sweat. These days, the only way for me to do this job without a helper is to lift them out with my cherry picker!
