Leriton 60" Chisel Digging Bar 5ft, 13 lb Forged Carbon Steel with Pencil Point & Flat Chisel

The Leriton 60" (5 ft) chisel digging bar is a heavy forged, heat-treated carbon steel pry and digging tool with a pencil point and flat chisel end, built for breaking rock, prying posts, and loosening compacted soil.

Built for demanding outdoor work, this 6.2 kg (13 lb) wrecking bar combines reach, mass, and two purpose-shaped ends so you can dig, pry, and break without switching tools. At 1520 mm long with a 25 mm hex shank and a 50 mm blade, the bar delivers concentrated force and solid control for construction, landscaping, and general cleanup. The single-piece forged construction and heat treatment increase toughness while keeping the profile simple and reliable.

How does the pencil-point end help when digging around rocks and roots?

The tapered pencil point concentrates impact and penetration force into a small area, making it easier to split compacted soil, wedge between tight rocks, and cut through root systems. It’s ideal for initiating breaks or creating leverage points where precision is needed before prying.

• Conical sharpened length: 60 mm for focused penetration
• Pencil point penetrates tight seams and root networks
• Forged carbon steel retains edge shape under heavy use

What tasks suit the flattened chisel end on a 5-foot wrecking bar?

The sharpened flat chisel end delivers wide, controlled force for prying, splitting, and lifting. It’s useful for levering out posts, breaking up pavement edges, slicing through dense roots, and creating separation between compacted materials.

• 50 mm blade width spreads pry force for lifting and levering
• Sharpened flat edge cuts roots and pries seams cleanly
• Flat end works well for scraping, scoring, and trimming material

Does the bar’s weight and length improve performance on heavy jobs?

Yes — at 6.2 kg and 1520 mm length, the bar balances momentum with reach. The mass increases impact energy for breaking and driving, while the long shaft gives better leverage, letting a single user generate more force safely and precisely.

• 13 lb weight provides solid striking energy for breaking compact materials
• 5 ft reach improves leverage for prying deep-set posts and rocks
• Hex-shaped 25 mm shank resists rolling and provides secure hand placement

How durable is the construction for repeated professional use?

The bar is made from heavy forged carbon steel and receives heat treatment to increase hardness and toughness. That construction minimizes deformation and wear during repeated strikes and levering, so the tool stays serviceable across many job cycles.

• Single-piece forged construction reduces failure points
• Heat-treated carbon steel improves impact resistance
• Hex shank and robust blade dimensions built for heavy-duty work

Who this tool is for: The Leriton 60" chisel digging bar suits contractors, landscapers, and serious DIYers who need a reliable multipurpose pry/dig tool. If you break ground, remove posts, split compacted soil, or tackle asphalt and rock on a regular basis, this heavy-duty bar provides the reach, weight, and dual-ended versatility to streamline those tasks without carrying multiple specialty tools.
