Gad Pry Bar - 18" Forged Geologist Tool with Pointed Tip & Chisel End - GP-18

Love this tool for backcountry prospecting. Eighteen inches long and eighteen ounces. Estwing tough!

Very good quality ! super light weight! And fast shipping

It's a gad... and it's terrific !!! Weight saving when out on the hunt. Probably the most useful tool you could have besides a rock hammer. This is my third one... one lost in the dirt, one lost to my son, this one is a replacement. You really can't ask for more. AND for those complaining of rust... hummm, it's steel and yes it can rust up a bit... go figure, steel rusts. That's like complaining about ducks quacking. If you're concerned about a little rust, paint peeling or your gear taking a bit of a beating while using it I'm certain you're not going to survive rockhounding. A tip for this gad... make yourself a PVC sleeve with a cap at one end, this thing is very sharp. You'll be able to store it in a bag without poking a hole through it or possibly yourself if you take a spill.

Solid, works as described.

I found one of these in a creek decades ago. And yes I now a have a couple of them for me and my partners. This is the best tool for crack mining I could ever imagine for gold prospecting, crystal mining and mineral recovery. The one that I've found was painted orange so the new one got some white and orange stripes. I have a lot of Estwing tools and swear by them. Get out there and have fun!

I have only used this a few times now when out rock hounding with my family and it's been great to have along. Seems to be quite sturdy and it is great to have that extra leverage for larger material. The only down side to me is carrying it along. It doesn't fit in a normal backpack well without sticking out or someone just has to carry it in hand. And although the kids like rock hounding they never like carrying the tools.

You wanna bust stuff open? Here you go! Doubles as a super-whammy bar of your choosing!

Good tool for Rockhounding
