Right Tool For The Right Job June 25, 2008
I ended up buying this pry bar after using another pry bar made by Great Neck. The Great Neck pry bar was too thick to get in between mouldings and carpet strips without using a lot of effort and some force. I picked up the SuperBar from Vaughan at Home Depot after looking at the other pry bars that they sold. The SuperBar was not only thinner but also sharper at the blade end. I just started to gut my whole house and I have to say that this cut my demo time greatly. This made it much easier to pull mouldings and other items.
I would highly recommend.
Simply the best and helped us remove (yes, remove) Crown molding .. why we did and how the bar helped June 15, 2008

Yes, I DO know that crown molding not only can help add character to a room but enhance its value. However, there are times when the molding has to be removed, if only temporarily, due to water damage, problems under the molding or room renovations.
That is when the Vaughan Superbar can be a great help. While I have a step by step tutorial about how to remove crown molding on my profile page, this particular Superbar can be a main asset in helping you to gently pry away that molding while doing little to no damage to your drywall. There can be complicating factors that even the best pry bar won't solve: molding glued to the wall with gorilla glue (yes, I've encountered this in home rehabs) or times when things are attached in a way when you have to bring in extra tools, including power tools.
However, when removing crown molding, this is a super tool to have on hand. I'd also recommend a good utility knife, dropcloths, a hammer and some other items (blocks to place between molding and wall, when you get that far).
The bar makes an excellent nail puller, even if the nails are wedged tightly into a deck. You'll find a ton of uses for this and the heft of it is pleasing, neither too light or too heavy. Of course, in a pinch, you could knock out a mugger with it, too...but lets hope you don't have to do that!
an essential tool May 5, 2008
I use this tool on a daily basis for my job as a maintenance supervisor. It is most handy for prying molding and trim, but I've used it for dozens of other things like setting carpet, fence demolition, breaking up concrete (in conjunction with a hammer), nail pulling, etc. etc. Tough as hell and a superior design. You'll use this tool a lot more than you think.
I always wanted one of these things February 14, 2008

When I was a teenager I helped one of my uncles demolish part of a barn using a prybar. Ever since then I have a fascination with noble steel tools that can perform surgical demolition. 20 years ago I bought a Halligan bar at a yard sale and haven't used it yet but it is a piece of art.
Speaking of art: my Vaughn B215 Original SuperBar is a work of art. Ever since I saw the design many years ago I fell in love with its curves. I admit I bought it from Amazon on an impulse. The free shipping was the irresistible enticement. When my wife opened the box that came almost overnight, my wife was puzzled, "what do you need this for?" "To break up that old dresser you have been asking me to get rid of", an excuse to cover my trail.
But why should you buy the Vaughn SuperBar over the many other similar fine tools out there? I suppose they all pull and cut nails, pry, scrape and lift. And notwithstanding that Vaughn has been making professional tools since 1869, my SuperBar is made in the USA which gives it that extra pride that fits an American hand -- teamed for work. It's as tough as my uncle Pete.
Normally you don't think about these things but the SuperBar's grey color is pretty cool also.

The best of the flat bars. Every thing else is a substitute. Stands up to hard use. Indespensible. perfect. Buy 2, they work great in pairs. A bargain at twice the price. you can use this for everything.
