Astro Tools Pry Bar

Astro Tools Pry Bars: Purpose-Built for the Hard Jobs

When suspension components fight back, having the right pry bar in your hand makes all the difference. Astro Tools (Astro Pneumatic Tool Co.) has spent over four decades engineering specialty hand tools for professional technicians, and their lineup of pry bars reflects exactly that focus — tools designed around real shop tasks, not generic applications.

The Standout: Lower Control Arm 4ft Pry Bar (Item #78914)

The flagship of Astro's pry bar offerings is the 78914 Lower Control Arm 4ft Pry Bar, a purpose-built suspension tool that addresses one of the most frustrating jobs in undercar service. The tool uses leverage to pull down on and free lower control arms and double wishbone suspension, aids in getting ball joints free from knuckles, and keeps control arms out of the way to service axles, knuckles, and front and rear struts.

The 78914 provides the muscle needed to fight against bushing pre-load and anti-sway bar tension — forces that can make even straightforward suspension jobs feel like a battle. What separates this tool from a generic pry bar is its adjustable position pulling arm, which allows you to position the tool exactly where needed for the task at hand. At four feet in length, it delivers the kind of mechanical advantage that prevents technicians from improvising with makeshift alternatives that can damage components or cause injury.

A Range of Pry Bar Solutions

Beyond the lower control arm bar, Astro Tools extends its pry bar philosophy into other vehicle service areas. Their 9520 3-Piece Go-Through Pry Bar Set provides a versatile set of conventional pry bars built to handle a wide range of general-purpose leverage and alignment tasks in the bay. For interior work, the 4524 Plastic Prybar Fastener and Molding Remover Set takes a different approach entirely. The set includes multiple remover styles ranging from 6" to 8.5", covering wide-type, pull-type, narrow-type, and clip panel configurations, with plastic construction that prevents scratching and damage to vehicle paint, chrome, leather, and trim.
