The Svedbro Smide Tove Crowbar is a hand-forged Swedish wrecking bar with a 90 degree nail claw at one end and a flat chisel end at the other, in 11, 20, 25, 28 and 36 in lengths.

Each bar starts as special alloy spring steel, heated to about 1200°C and pressed into an octagonal bar that's easy to grip. The claw and chisel end are forged by hand, then the bar is hardened at about 860°C and quenched in water, which leaves it springy enough to take heavy loads. Both ends are ground and polished thin and wide so they slide under floorboards and joists without marring them, and the 90 degree claw, with its V-shaped nail slot, reaches nails right up against walls and ceilings. Every bar is tumbled, hardness checked, hand painted blue and stamped under the claw. Because each one is forged by hand, lengths are approximate.

Svedbro Smide has forged this bar since 1942 and developed the Tove model in 1952 for Gränsfors. The family-owned forge is in Gnarp, in Hälsingland, Sweden, and its history goes back to 1878. Svedbro owned Gränsfors Bruks from 1985 to 2005, and Gränsfors still lists it as a sister company.
