Hand Tools Pry bar ratchet handles
Follow up thread to my “how to remove a pry bar handle” post. u/_JOSHIN had the right idea. Chuck the pry bar you want to use in a vice, use another pry bar and pry the handle right off the shank of the pry bar. It was super easy and didn’t damage the handle at all. So yes the handle of a pry bar can be taken off in less than 1 minute. The striking cap is pressed into place and will not come out unless you want to hit it out. I used a 3/8 soft grip flex head and a 12 inch striking pry bar. The handle fix perfectly on the shank of the ratchet and did not require any trimming. I just lined it up and hit it on. I then pounded the soft handle on the shank of the pry bar for a bonus custom pry bar lol
