His listing of uses and the video of him taking apart that post covering didn't really convince me. I feel like a flat pry bar and a 3 pound sledge would have performed just as well, and they're smaller and more generally useful. I would have liked to see a video of the Burke bar in action on a bigger job, perhaps the additional scale would have demonstrated its niche.

Also the springiness of the pry part doesn't seem like a helpful feature (you want to transfer your shock force, not smooth it), but rather a necessity to prevent it shattering.

Before I even clicked on the link I knew it would be Essential Craftsman!

I love his videos as much for his universally applicable life wisdom as much as for the specifics of what he's covering.
