What is the nett weight of the Sealey Heel Bar?

Is the heel and face of the bar sharp?

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.
