This halligan can't be beat for the price. Bought it to make a decorative piece out of it, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out it's just as sturdy as any of the ones on our trucks. Did some grinding, sanding, and polishing on the tool and found that it seems to be a single piece of steel under the coating. No welds or pins holding it together. The size, weight, and shape feels similar to a Pro Bar, except it has a round handle instead of a hexagonal one. The coating on it feels durable and will help prevent rust, but it has a slightly rough texture which some people may not like but that's a preference. The tool's working ends seem to be heat treated in all the right spots. Overall it's a great tool that can compete with ones above it's price range.
