Amazon.com Product Description
The Stanley Super Wonder Bar Pry Bar is designed for easier prying, lifting, and nail removal. At 15-1/2 inches in length, it provides extra reach and more leverage, and its tight bend angle allows more precise positioning. The pry bar features an arch in its center, eliminating the need for a wood block to achieve necessary swinging motion for nail pulling. This pry bar also works as a panel lift: simply position the pry end under the panel and press down the end with a foot for convenient, hands-free operation. The bar's blade width is 1-3/4 inches.

Curves in all the right places! December 23, 2007
This pry bar is a good shape for, well, prying! The curve pushes the bar out far enough to get some leverage. I like the bright yellow tip that helps keep it from getting lost in darker environments.
I haven't found mine to be especially sharp. It is intended for smaller jobs, and works well for those. It isn't a problem unless you are demolishing a house with it. Just something to be aware of.
 shouldn't be your first, but should be in your bag November 8, 2007
This bar only rates pretty good for doing general demolition work. The fulcrum, as others have said, makes it less than optimal for prying things apart because you if you hammer the end of it the bend absorbs much of the blow and vibrates. However, if you need to install a panel or sheet or drywall by yourself the lever action will help you raise your work with your foot and adjust it just where you need it leaving your hands to do their thing.
For installing doors it is awesome! Toe kick under a cabinet? Perfect. In fact, anything you want to raise from the floor while standing, crouching, laying down or in need of both hands will make you love this tool.
I also use it for prying up tile counter tops with great success.
Bottom line, it is not usually the first demo bar I grab, but for certain applications I wouldn't be without it. If I ever lose it I will replace it immediately.
Nice Pry Bar May 22, 2007
I'm a weekend warrior more or less. I renovate houses in my down time. I picked up this bar to help with the demo process. I must say it it a very handy tool. The angle of the bar works perfect for me and gave me a lot of leverage when removing some old glued down flooring. It's a keeper in my bag of tools for sure. I'm very satisfied with it.
 Not a profesional pry bar December 4, 2006

I am a general contractor / Carpenter, and I bought this pry bar for work. Its okay for most applications, but the fulcrum on the flat end is positioned so far out, that you don't get enough leverage for any serious prying (like prying two boards apart that are nailed together).
Good variation on a basic tool. March 11, 2006

The addition of the fulcrum on the pry bar is a useful innovation. Like all the other pry bars on the market nowadays and unlike my now misplaced Sears pry bar acquired in the 70's, the prying ends of this tool are rather blunt and therefore difficult to prize in between joined pieces without damaging them. This was remedied with a grinder and belt sander but it would be nice if someone would produce a well ground tool like those of yore.
