What is a 'murphy bar'?
Googling it, I found it mainly as a drinking bar; a liquor cabinet that folds down, like a Murphy bed.
Is it just a generic (dis-used?) term for prying under something to move it? I've heard tell of crow-bar like tools with wheels on them for this purpose and I'd swear I've seen them in catalogs. Am I using the wrong name?
It's a long wooden bar, about 5' long, about 2" round at the top, tapering larger to about 6"x2" oval at the bottom, with (usually) steel wheels, and a steel "lever" at the bottom. Kind of like the design of a hand-truck.
It's used for moving or shifting heavy items.
I agree, images are impossible to find.
Edit: Found one:
Search for "Pry Bar Lever Dollies" and you'll get all the Murphy bars you can handle. lol
