    Abstract: A one-piece demolition-tool including an elongated stem terminating in two differently shaped prying-members at opposite ends thereof, and a dual-function pivot-and-handle bar near each end of said stem, disposed crosswise thereof, each pivot-and-handle bar being in operative juxtaposition to both prying-members and being arranged to serve as an off-center pivot in relation to the prying-member nearest to it when that prying-member is prying and to serve as a twist-resisting force-applying handle in relation to the prying-member farthest from it when that prying-member is prying, and each pivot-and-handle bar having two opposite handle-portions extending laterally and oppositely from the stem, and each handle-portion being of sufficient length to enable the user of the demolition-tool to engage the two handle-portions with a major portion of the width of his hands when closed around the handle-portions so as to enable the user effectively to apply his needed manual force for the operation of the tool.
