Normally made of medium carbon steel, they can be made from titanium also, which has the advantage of being lighter, nonmagnetic, and spark resistant.Crowbars can be used as any of the three lever classes but are generally used as a 1st or 2nd class lever.
The least expensive, most common crowbars are forged from hexagonal stock. More advanced, expensive designs often are forged with an I shaped cross sectional shaft similar to an I-beam. This shape makes them more resistant to bending. The titanium crowbars mentioned above have a round bent shaft.
* The most common kind of "crowbar" (ie - either one or two hooked ends) is not actually a true crowbar, But instead a variety of crowbar called a "wrecking bar" - a true crowbar is actually a long, straight bar with a point or wedge shape at the end.
* There is a popular story that the term crowbar derives from Jim Crow and they were used by blacks to perform menial tasks, and the word thus has racist origins. This is a false etymology; the term crowbar traces to at least 1400; and is not in any sense racist. As they resembled the feet or beaks of a crow, they were first called crow bars; later the two joined into one word. They also were called crows; William Shakespeare used the term crow in many places, including his written-in-the-1590s play Romeo and Juliet, Act 5, scene ii:
Get me an iron crow and bring it straight.
Unto my cell. ...

Yep, it is between the 3 Blackbirds PH and the White Swan, in Bexley Road, London. Cocktails are a speciality.

My favourite bar is called the "Birds Nest" but it not just crows that go in there, we get a few rooks in there and quite a few ravens but we stay clear of them, they're a bit violent when they've had too much to drink.
