Adjustable crowbar

The Hultafors 209 adjustable wrecking bar features a nine-point articulated claw, a rubberized grip, and claims to optimize the everyman's nail-pulling experience. But does the crowbar design require improvement?

The 209's curved claw is set on a hinge and locked in place with a screw gear, which allows it to withstand the same forces as a conventional bar. The prospect of being able to adapt the crow bar to the specific work area could be quite handy, especially in close quarters.
