Overview
The TEKTON LSQ42103 weighs 3.42 pounds and ships as a single bar with a plastic handle.

Performance notes
The 3.42-pound weight makes the LSQ42103 nimble for finish prying, window and door casing removal, and nail pulling without requiring two hands. The tradeoff is less mass behind each prying motion compared to heavier bars, so expect more physical effort on thick or corroded material.
