Questions and Answers for Husky 69 in. San Angelo Bar

A:  Franco, That specific usage is not something the bar was designed for and we cannot guarantee it will accomplish what you are looking for. The striking of the end with a sledge hammer is not recommended and could be dangerous.

A:  That's what I bought it for but one end has a point and the other is flat like a screw driver so I couldn't hit it with a sledge hammer. Ended up taking it back.

A:  I’d suppose if the roots are dry… if rots are still alive best bet is using a reciprocating saw

A:  Hi Jerry, Unfortunately this type of tool will not do what you are asking about, but a great tool for this would be one of the Cutter Mattocks.

A:  Mexico

A:  Hi Don, This item is produced in our facility in Mexico. Thanks

A:  Hi, The main bar diameter is 1.10" and the end of where the flat pry is 2.76" wide. On the other end is a straight point and is not meat to pry with. Thanks Truper Customer Service

A:  Don’t know. But if you can bend this beast you’re doing some crazy heavy work.

A:  It worked out Great!

A:  Maybe but I doubt it.

A:  Yes, absolutely!

A:  Yes. Very strong,well balanced, and sharp

A:  The description says 16 lbs

A:  Yes the Angelo bar will really shine for a task like that

A:  JJ, This tool can be used for breaking up hard soil ground as well as prying larger rocks as well. Thanks

A:  Yes, of course it's heavy, That's the hole point.

A:  Just guessing I'd say about 25 lb

A:  16 pounds

A:  12/15lbs

A:  I would venture to guess 45 pounds about. I bent mine. But trying to pry a 2'x3'x6' slab of cement from the dirt what do you expect. Other wise great tool.

A:  The description says 16 lbs.

A:  Probably so. The flared end would probably work best. Depending on the quality of the footing, it won’t be easy.

A:  Probably if the footing is relatively shallow and small. It's a heavy bar--and with both chisel and point ends it could be used in lieu of a sledge hammer to break up concrete slabs. I use mine to dig up cemented-in fence posts by slamming the bar right into the middle of the cement around the post to break up the post hole cement, then the post lifts right out. Also great for digging in hard, rocky soils, tree root areas, and clay--for planting bushes or trees. But I'd not recommend it for a deep footings that ran for very many linear feet---for that, save your back and joints and rent a jack hammer. A final note----don't under estimate the joint pain you will get from slamming this bar into concrete, clay, tree roots, etc. The shock of it hitting something hard can travel right back up that bar to your joints. Learn the technique of loosening your grip on it just before it hits to alleviate the transfer of reactive energy. Don't let go of the bar--just loosen your grip.

A:  NOT EASILY

A:  Hi Steven, This does a pretty good job but depends on how thick the concrete is around the posts and can handle 5 to 6" of this type of material. Thanks Truper Team

A:  Depends on the size of the concrete and type. I don’t think you would have considerable problem breaking a 3”-4” concrete slab but I don’t think that would be the most efficient tool for that job either.

A:  This is the tool I used to remove broken fence posts and the footing. It's hard work, but this tool worked for me. It's a matter of working the soil around it and breaking it into small pieces. It is exhausting, but I couldn't come up with a better way.

A:  I was able to break through roots for posting metal bars for fencing around vegetable garden.

A:  Depends on size of roots and your strength

A:  Thanks for your question! This does a very good job breaking thru most roots in the ground do to the weight in the bar itself. Best Regards, The Truper Team

A:  This can assist with breaking through roots.
