Abstract: A crowbar includes a lower portion, a middle portion, and an upper portion. The lower portion has a tip portion with a bearing surface. The middle portion is an offset portion. The upper portion has a plum line surface, which is disposed at an angle of about 90 degrees to the tip portion/bearing surface. The crowbar is useful in removing material from poorly accessible regions such as ceilings or floor - wall corners. For example, the crowbar can readily remove baseboards of partition walls, and wood lath from ceiling beams and is useful in lifting heavy objects and the like.
