CROWBAR, also called a pry bar or prybar, or more informally known as a 'jemmy' or 'jemmy bar' is a [DLMURL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool"]tool[/DLMURL] consisting of a metal bar with a single curved end and flattened points, often with a small fissure on the curved end for removing nails. It is used as a lever to either force apart two objects or to remove nails. Crowbars are commonly used to open nailed wooden boxes. Another common use for larger crowbars is general demolition: for removing nails, prying apart boards, and generally smashing things. It has also been used as a weapon in hold ups.............dave..

CHOP SAW.... essentially a lightweight circular saw mounted on a spring-loaded pivoting arm, and supported by a metal base. Chop saws are considered the best saw to get very exact, square cuts. Compound miter saws have been developed due to the limited cutting capacity of the chop saw. These are basically chop saws that can make bevel cuts as well as miter cuts.......dave..
