“Miner’s Slate Bar”

https://warwoodtool.com/products/slate-bar

I am named after my greatgrandfather whose pelvis was broken by falling slate. He did recover.

46 years ago I worked at a mine where the Mine Superintendent had “accidently” died in a slate fall a few months before.
After working there a few months other miners told me while eating lunch one day that what really happened was the Superintendent came to work one morning and said he had been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. Later that day his employees found him dead under a large piece of slate rock with a slate bar nearby.

No, dictionary says the verb jimmy means to pry and the noun jimmy is a pry bar.

that's what we always call them around here.
i have one about 60" long. comes in handy for lots of things. digging, prying, moving, etc.

Allways had one at the house growing up & my dad called it a rigging bar,its now mine & some where I acquired another, they come in handy I have one at work also.

I guess I got in the habit of calling it 'wrecking bar' because I saw my Dad use it a number of times to break up tile floors or concrete.

It had been in my possession since 2011, and not once did I use it, even going thru divorce. It was time to let it go.

Bar talk.

Tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, as members of the Bar are sworn officers of the court.

Opinions. Bar none.

Ships sailing beyond the Bar.

Bar’ed entry.

No more memorable song than “Killed him a Bar when he was only 3”

A man with restraint!

10 minutes with a big hand grinder and it would be a nice pry bar.

I used to walk the RR tracks that went through our family farm and from time to time id find a four foot or six foot pry bar, still have 4-5 today and the seem to be called antiques and semi costly to buy. I still use them as pry bars.

Two guys with the six footers could easily toss a /6 out of an engine bay.
