crowbar

1. An iron or steel bar, often with a flattened end which may also be hook-shaped, to be used as a lever to manually force things apart.
2. An electrical circuit that prevents an overvoltage from causing damage.
3. A type of cocktail made with only Crown Royal whiskey and lemon lime soda.

From crow (“crow (bird)" also "metal lever, crowbar”) + bar, probably because the forked end looks like a crow's foot.
