Default What steel for pry bars?

I had a section of green Chrysler torsion bar which i used as a pry

It would spring just a hair with me on the end and a about a ton of
weight leveraged at 2". I sorely miss it. It would have made a good
digging bar in my current work.



Having had a few Chrysler products when they used torsion bars, I have no doubt that chunk
of steel made a fantastic pry bar.
