The ___ is used to withdraw large nails and to pry when dismantling parts of a structure.

• A. Pry bar
• B. Wrecking bar
• C. Crowbar
• D. Nail puller

Answer: (B)

The wrecking bar is designed for demolition work and nail removal, offering the leverage and nail-pulling capability needed for dismantling structures. Its long handle gives you strong leverage, and its curved, forked end can slip under nail heads to grip and pull them out cleanly, even large nails. That combination makes it the best fit for both withdrawing large nails and prying apart components during teardown. A pry bar is typically smaller and may lack the dual-ended nail-gripping feature, a crowbar is similar but not as specialized for nail pulling, and a nail puller is usually built for smaller nails or lighter work.
