Speed kills. Blast kills. How much energy is delivered to the target?
That question is all that matters.

Yup, if you drop a common 30-50lb crowbar from orbit
its going to inflict a world of hurt on whatever it hits
notwithstanding its simply an inert piece of metal.

a crowbar probably would not hit the ground (ever seen a long thin iron
meteor?)

Meteors are not man-made either. It's the same concept as an armor
piercing tank round. Long and thin to concentrate the density in a
small frontal cross section. And it would not really have a curved end
like a crowbar. I hope.
