Does the Sealey Heel Bar come with any warranty?

Yes, Sealey Hand Tools, including this heel bar, are backed by a lifetime guarantee.

How should I maintain the corrosion resistance of the bar?

What is the nett weight of the Sealey Heel Bar?

Is the heel and face of the bar sharp?

The heel and face are hand-ground for effective prying and splitting, providing a functional edge rather than a sharp blade.

Troubleshooting

Bar appears to be bending under heavy load.

Ensure the bar is being used within its intended capacity. Verify that the load is being applied as close to the fulcrum as possible for maximum leverage. If the bar is significantly bent, cease use as it may compromise its structural integrity.

Corrosion spots appearing on the surface.

Clean the affected area with a wire brush and then apply a light coating of oil or a rust inhibitor to prevent further oxidation. Ensure the bar is stored in a dry location.

Difficulty inserting the heel into tight spaces.

Utilize the tapered shaft design. Apply consistent downward pressure and slightly twist the bar to help it gain purchase. Ensure the leading edge is clear of obstructions.

Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your Sealey Heel Bar:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the bar clean of dirt, debris, and any residual materials.
