Wrecking Burke Bar

Also known as a pry bar or wrecking bar, a burke bar is a long steel bar with an angled, flattened and sometimes forked end. It's an all-purpose lever used for prying, pulling, hammering, striking, digging and a wide range of demolition applications. At BetonTools, we stock quality burke bars for construction professionals and homeowners across Australia.

Typical applications
Burke bars may look like simple hand tools for construction, but they're invaluable on a demolition project. With more leverage than a crowbar and a useful springy action, a burke bar is the go-to tool whenever you need to pull timber, remove materials or work in tight demolition scenarios. Also useful alongside professional construction tools like chisels and jackhammers for breaking out concrete and masonry.

Burke bar vs crowbar
Burke bars have an angled, flattened and often forked end — ideal for leveraging. Crowbars feature a curved, angled end designed primarily for nail removal. Both are constructed from forged hardened steel for strength and durability.

Benefits of a quality burke bar
