Alignment of the Bar

A steel pry bar hung askew across the shed wall, its twin mounting hooks slipped out of true. Irregular weight invites failure. I mounted the vertical pine stud, transferring my grip to the perforated steel pegboard above the bench. Reaching the second row, I braced my boots against the sheet metal and hooked my left arm around the cold pry bar. With deliberate, upward torque, I lifted its hexagonal shaft and hammered the dual prongs down into the slotted perforations. The metal locked into the steel plate with a ringing clack. Alignment restored.
