Crow Bars typically have a long, flat, and curved end with a forked, chisel-like point on one end. They are primarily used for removing nails, lifting heavy objects, or prying apart materials. The curved end provides good leverage, making it effective for demolition tasks.

Separating Bars are a specific type of pry bar that may have a more uniform shape and is often tapered at one or both ends. They are used for separating materials that are stuck together, such as wood or metal. They excel in tasks requiring careful separation without damaging the surrounding material.
