A 60-inch form lifter is a long pry bar with a curved profile that provides an integral fulcrum for lifting and levering heavy objects. It has a hollow, rounded shaft, an extra-wide precision-ground claw for prying and nail removal, and a water-resistant end cap. Typical uses include positioning and lifting concrete forms, separating and prying materials, and removing spikes or nails.
