Is that what they are making crowbars from these days?


Such steel meets minimum specifications but you
may find anomalies like local hard spots (where a chromed ball bearing
was melted in for example).

Which would explain a little about why a crowbar I was cutting up for
a rock bar ate so many hacksaw blades.
