Here's what satisfied Artillery® Pry Bar users say!
"Removes siding with ease"
"I have used the Artillery® Pry Bar System for the past year on different projects and it has proven to be a valuable asset. We have found it is the perfect tool to remove cabinets and all types of existing flooring. The Artillery® System has also been great for removing old tubs and showers. The different size handles give it the versatility to remove siding with ease. It is also light enough to use on a ladder and can easily fit in a tool belt. The Artillery® Pry Bar System is now a permanent addition to our repertoire of tools. We at Deegan Renovations believe in working smart, and your tool system has helped us do just that. Thank you again for the opportunity to become more productive because of products like yours."

"Very impressed with the versatility"
"My name is Lindsay Hare. I specialize in the restoration of antique furniture. As a craftsman for the past twenty-five years, I have used a myriad of different tools. I have found that in the short period of time that I have used the Artillery® Pry Bar, it is far superior to any other tool that I have used to disassemble furniture. Firstly, the Artillery® Pry Bar has the longer handle that I need for leverage. I also have the option of choosing between a fifteen-inch and a twenty-five inch handle. In addition, the Artillery® Bar System has many different blade sizes, which allows me to tailor my tool to the particular job that I am doing. I have found the Artillery® Pry Bar to be indispensable for disassembling chairs and it works exceptionally well in removing the pedestal legs on dinning room tables. I am very impressed with the versatility of the Artillery® Pry Bar in my restoration work and highly recommend it to any other woodworker."

Decking bar does the job
A Big thanks to Brandon and the crew over at Decking Northwest for testing the new “decking remover” configuration. The new fulcrum and blade worked really well together. Now I can start the process of getting it produced for my customer base. As soon as it is available we will let you know.
“Joe’s got the right shape figured out to take the decking off effectively.” Brandon Davis stated after testing the decking materials. Decking Northwest is one of Portland’s Premier Decking Companies.
Joe,
Wow... I bought your contractors set and after 5 minutes of using it I knew I had spent my money well. After an hour I was blown away with the ease with which material was being removed. At the end of the day I wanted to add more to my set. These are the best tools I have purchased in quite a while. It makes doing demo fun again. I will definitely recommend this to friends.

Joe,
Artillery Tools makes one of the best demolition tools on the market. We know that other ServiceMASTER businesses are using them. My employees have been using the Artillery Pry Bar System since Oct. 2009, and they are impressed. It saves them (me) time, is easy to use and understand, and creates less stress on my workers!

Joe,
We really appreciate the Artillery Pry Bar System. We use it on most jobs, especially the ones that require the removal of flooring and subfloors. It also works really well when we have to tear out sheet rock, lathe and plaster. It works much better than anything else we've used and has substantially cut our demolition times (up to 30%). My crews really like your system's versatility. For example, to work in smaller rooms and confined spaces, all we have to do is use a shorter handle. By far, your Artillery Pry Bar System is our #1 demolition tool. It has taken the dread out of our demo work. It has paid for itself many times over, and we have only been using it for 3 months.

Joe,
I would like to let you know how well the Artillery Tools Pry Bar System has worked for my crew. We originally started out with one complete system a couple years ago and now have several complete systems in our tool collection.
Our first job with the tool was an 11,000 sq. ft. apartment clubhouse renovation and it was a blessing in disguise for my guys. It made stripping off the drywall very easy, we removed studs, doors, wall plates and concrete we cut out of the floor with the tool. We have used this tool on lots of different jobs and every time it works and never lets us down. My guys like it even better now that we have the fiberglass handle, so it's lighter and easier to operate for those long days.
I have recommended this tool to lots of people in the construction trade as well as the people we work for. It may cost more up front, but it is well worth the money in the long run on every job, year after year. It has been very easy to work with you to order and you keeping me up to date on the new product attachments as they become available.
So, in short this tool system is the best, most versatile and cost effective tool I have for my crews to use (and we all know how tools get treated on the job). Thanks again for such a great tool and your support on them as well.

Joe,
After purchasing the Artillery® Pry Bar System set at the home show, our guys in the field reported their demolition time cut in half. The unique balance of the tool is the secret, because the tool uses its own weight to do the work. We gave it to our best guys that take care of tools. They recognize the quality of the system and the amount of time they save on each job. Purchasing an Artillery® Pry Bar System was like giving them a raise!!!

Hi Joe,
I just wanted to give you some feedback regarding my experience with the pry bar system my wife, Nancie, purchased at a past JLC trade show. I needed to remove some particle board underlayment which was nailed and glued. I started using a standard crow bar that was on my truck, this failed miserably. Decided to wait until the next day to continue the tear out, beg Nancie for your pry bar system and hope for the best. Joe, your system was my saving grace. The old floor came up easier than I ever imagined, it saved my knees and back, thank you. Now the only fights Nancie and I ever have, are over your pry bar system.
Thanks,

Dear Joe:
Just wanted to let you know...I bought the contractors kit Saturday at the show. On Sunday I took down about twelve 2' x 12' corrugated alum/figerglass roofing sheets from above our deck in about 1/2 hour! The reach and the leverage helped tremendously.
thx, Mike. September 29, 2008
Dear Joe:
My husband and I ordered the contractor's set. We removed 1500 square feet of the most awful pine wood flooring ever laid in the home we recently purchased. Part of it was glued and all of it was nailed down. Now, I am a weakling, but with the artillery tool I was able to keep up with my husband! Between the two of us, we were able to clear it out in record time. When our contractor came the first day expecting to start removing that flooring he was shocked. He asked me how we did it and I showed him the tools. Still disbelieving, he and his partner started removing the remaining flooring by the oven and cabinets with a hammer and crowbar.
After several minutes of struggling, I begged Carl to try the tools. He finally agreed and the rest is history. We have given him the set for his future remodeling projects as a bonus for the beautiful job he has done. If we ever move and need to remove flooring in the future, we would gladly spend the money and buy another set. It saved us hundreds of dollars and more importantly made us really happy to get the job done so quickly.
We would like to thank you for designing and selling one of the greatest inventions ever! Our very best wishes to you in your business. Keep up the great work!
Best wishes,
Dr. David and Jill Neidig. September 28, 2008
Joe,
This is one of the best, if not THE best tool I have ever used! I originally purchased the basic set from you at one of the home shows here in Portland Oregon. Since then, I have been remodeling a house I own that was built in 1922. The walls are all plaster & lath.
After tearing out a single wall I knew I had the tool for the job that I needed. I tore out an 8 foot by 8 foot section of plaster & lath in about 15 minutes. Previously it took over an hour for a similar sized section with a crow bar. With the Artillery Tool it was also considerably physically easier than it was with the crow bar.
The fact that it contains the crescent wrench and screwdriver is a great idea, I never have to search for the tools to assemble it. Thank-you for introducing me to your new invention!
I hope nobody steals it, as I consider it one of the most valuable tools that I own.

Joe,
I just wanted to tell you I received the kit yesterday.
It was exactly what I needed and performed even better than I thought it would. It was so much better than the pry bars I was trying to use it's almost unbelievable.
I was able to remove the subfloor about 10 times faster than normal, I cleared more out in 30 min. Then what I was able to do in 3 hours using other tools. what a difference using the right tool for the job makes.
Worth every penny, thanks so much.

Dear Joe,
I wanted to thank you for the pry bar system. Your level of customer service is astonishing. There is no way we could have completed our remodel in time with out your wonderful tool. I needed to remove over 1000 sq feet of tile and then pull staples from the other 2000 sq feet of the house that was carpeted. We also need to completely dismantle the kitchen and master bath.
Your tool was indispensable. It broke the tile when nothing else would work. I actually broke the handle on a 20lb sledge hammer trying to break this stuff, it was extremely tough. Pulling staples went from crawling on my hands and knees with a pair of pliers, to simply sliding the pry bar along the floor and popping them out. Tearing out the kitchen and master bath was where the tool really shined. We had one of every crow bar, wonder bar, and hammer I could find. The Artillery Pry Bar worked better than anything in all situations. I only wish that you had 2 of them to sell me at the time, it would have saved us from fighting over who got to use it.
I want to thank you again for understanding my plight, and putting together the pieces that you had laying around, so you could deliver a set to me when I needed it. There is no way that I could have done the demo on the house with just me and a few friends without it. I am a not so handy homeowner, not a contractor. You and your tool literally saved me thousands of dollars on the remodel, and my back at the same time. As good as the Artillery Pry Bar is, it doesn't come close to your customer service. I can't believe the way that you went out of you way to put together a set with pieces that you had on hand, and then delivering it so I could get right to work. When a problem did arise with one of the heads, you drove a hour and replaced it the next day. I am a business owner my self, and you taught me a thing or two about how to treat a customer.
I hope you nothing but success. With the best pry bar and customer service I have ever experienced that shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks
Garin Nopp
