Two Rock Pry Bars.... but NOT created equally.... why does one bend?
Hey everyone.
I have two 1" thick x 6 feet long pry bars made from solid steel, but one of them bends easily while the other has yet to bend. Why the difference? Tempering? Cold vs. Hot processed bar? Is there a way of changing the properties of the soft bar to increase it's strength? Thanks, James, Port Orchard (Seattle), Washington, USA, Earth |
