The cowboy pry bar system includes a 6” wide blade on the pry bar and 7’ overall length, a fulcrum channel with 4- different adjustments, a Slide hammer/post pounder to drive the blade down and under the monument, a foot stirrup and climbing rope with a climber one way pulley to assist leverage “use your foot” and your hands are free to slide a long 2" x 4" under the monument and now you are ready to pour in the gravel to level.
This massive 32 pound pry bar is engineered for heavy monument work. Its 1.25" diameter and 7' length provide strength, while the welded blade—measuring 1/2” thick by 6" wide with a 45-degree machined knife edge—requires less pounding pressure to penetrate soil beneath monuments. The 6" width ensures sufficient integrity for lifting and prevents nicking the monument’s bottom corners. The tan almond powder coating enhances visibility and, by reflecting sunlight, keeps the tool cooler for more comfortable handling on hot days.
The slide hammer: Place the pry bar at the low side base of the monument with the sharp portion of the blade against the monument, then take the slide hammer – slide up and down hard against the end of the bar thus driving it down and under the monument in a most positive and safe manner, the bend in the 6” wide blade is meant to ensure push against the blade and monument as it drives downward, once the blade clears the edge of the monument the earth is softer that the monument and this [bend] will cause a natural capacity to push under the bottom corner edge of the monument - you only need an inch and you are safely ready to lift the monument.
​
Use of the slide hammer and the included bolt can extend the length of the bar system from 7’ to 9’. Use of the stirrup with the rope and one way ascender/pulley provides hands free prying with the use of your foot in the stirrup. As you push down, the monument is lifted, now take an 8’ long wood 2" x 4" and slide it under the monument to sit on. If you need to go higher yet, simply get another bite utilizing the included fulcrum king plate and 5/8” detent pin, slide another board under the monument, and then you can install gravel for your new foundation.
