The Ampco Safety Tools W-29 Crow Bar is an 18-inch non-sparking, non-magnetic, and corrosion-resistant pry bar engineered for use in hazardous work environments.

Manufactured in the USA and Factory Mutual approved, it is beryllium-free and built for professionals who work around flammable or combustible vapors, liquids, dust, or residue where a standard steel tool could trigger a dangerous spark. Its non-magnetic properties make it safe for use near highly sensitive magnetic equipment, including MRI and clean room environments, and it conforms to ASTM F2503 and ASTM A342 standards.

Unlike conventional steel tools, the Ampco W-29 delivers outstanding durability even in the most corrosive conditions, including exposure to salt water, chemicals, and acids.

The W-29 crow bar is the go-to choice for oil and gas, petrochemical, mining, military, and industrial maintenance applications where worker safety and tool reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ

What alloy is the Ampco W-29 made from?

The W-29 is made from Ampco's proprietary aluminum bronze alloy, which provides non-sparking and non-magnetic properties without the health hazards associated with beryllium-copper tools.

Is this crow bar safe for use in oil refineries and petrochemical plants?

Yes. The W-29 is Factory Mutual approved and meets ASTM F2503 standards for use in environments where flammable vapors, liquids, dust, or residue are present.

Can this tool be used near MRI machines or sensitive electronic equipment?

Yes. Its non-magnetic construction makes it safe for use near MRI equipment, clean rooms, and other magnetically sensitive environments.

What is the difference between this and a standard steel pry bar?

Standard steel tools can generate sparks on impact, creating ignition risk in hazardous environments. The Ampco W-29 eliminates that risk while also resisting corrosion from salt water, acids, and chemicals — where steel would degrade.

Is the Ampco W-29 made in the USA?

Yes, it is manufactured in the United States.
