Phil,
That tool is pretty cool! And to have a tool your father made is even cooler!
Now that I see it I can imagine times when I'd want it instead of one of the
other prybars I already have.
Do you have any idea how he made it? I'm asking about how he bent it - the
ends could be done by an angle grinder. My first thought for bending it would
be heat but that would take out the springiness, wouldn't it?
Thanks for sharing!

obviously we almost exclusively use it to transport our handicapped son - I'm
more worried about this dying due to lack of driving than getting worn out

I still have the wrecking bar my father made out of a car spring.
Probably in the 1940s or 1950s. It is very useful for trim in houses and
as a foot-lever for hanging doors.
