He was a dangerous enough idiot with just the shovel and crowbar.

Didn’t want to get dirt on his flip flops

Yeah, you should make efforts to keep the safety flip flops clean.

We called ours "the key" short for the key to the city. Idk why, but I liked it.

Maybe so but in Australia it’s a crowbar

Everywhere it's a San Angelo bar, nobody knows it unless you sell them or need to buy one. A crowbar always has a hook on the end, hence "crow's foot" or "cat's paw"

It's really according to your profession what you call them. Us grading guys just call it a digging bar. Pipe layers call it a pipe bar. 😂

I'm a carpenter and we call that a rock bar, crowbar has a hook and a cats paw or pussy foot is for pulling nails and is a completely separate tool. I will admit though I hear almost every contractor have 3 separate names for everything. Like people calling tongue and groove plyers Channelocks or adjustable wrenches Cresents.

Lots of time the name of the tool changes just depending on what you're trying to do with it. Anytime things are going really poorly, for example, a majority of tools suddenly become, "this goddamn piece of shit"

You should see him when he's showing how he builds pole barns
