Owner rating4.3/5
4.3 average across 28 owner ratings
Popularity0.5/5
28 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Bates VUJC001B439NPVS is an 11 inch tool weighing 14.9 ounces, making it the longest bar in this group based on the listed sizes. That extra length translates to more reach and leverage on stubborn nails.
At $7.85 it is one of the cheaper options here. It carries a 4.3 star rating, but over just 28 reviews, so the score rests on a thin base. What carries it past our quality floor is demand: 200 buyers picked it up last month.
The honest read is that this is a value-and-leverage play. The 11 inch length and low price are the draw, while the small review count means there is less long-term feedback to lean on, and no material spec is listed.

Performance notes
The 11 inch length and 14.9 ounce weight make this the longest bar here, so it should offer the most reach and leverage on tough pulls. With only 28 reviews, lean on the 200 monthly buyers as the better gauge of how it performs.
What buyers say
Sales are healthy at 200 last month, but the review base is thin at 28, giving a 4.3 star average. There is less long-term owner feedback here than for the higher-volume tools.
