Gun. Knife. Flashlight........Pry Tool?

[Parasitic Psycho]

I've broken a couple tips off from using a knife for prying and eventually learned my lesson. So, I keep a micro widgy pry bar on my key chain and haven't damaged a tip since.

Yea I broke a little piece of the tip off my Buck 112 trying to dig a .357 bullet out of a tree, dumb, I know.

I've tried carrying a little mini pry bar around but I never needed it. I try to keep what I EDC at a minimum. I hate having full pockets.

I've been carrying knives, SAK, and MT for years and just haven't found too many instances where I needed heavy duty prying. The few times I needed to do some light stuff, the flat screwdriver on the MT worked fine (I know screwdrivers aren't suppose to be used for that purpose).

A pry bar isnt something I would want on my keychain. I don't like much on my keychain.

YMMV

I modded a few from the hardware store and use them often. I cut off the curved end to make them easier to carry in a pocket/keyring or admin pouch.

They do come in handy for breaking into cars and buildings, also for prying the tacks of shoplifting security tags off clothes.

Lol just kidding.

O ne of our brethern said it just lets us manipulate our enviroment rather than the other way around. Good answer Lots of folks here are EMT's or VFD types and along with shears,multitools and knives its just another tool that theres a need for while trying to keep the "pants drooping load o tools" weight down. A quick pop to a car window at an accident, prying at a door jam to check a structure that smoking or just opening a paint can at home with out having to walk all the way back to the garage. A little slip sheath that clips in the pocket or slides on the belt is a nice project for the leathercrafter..makes em handy.

I don't see what the pico bar can do, it's too short to actually pry anything. Seems an SAK screwdriver would be better.

I agree, I try to stick with a wallet, cell phone, keys, and a knife, sometimes two.

I carry the Buck/Strider Solution in my car door pocket and it works great as both a knife and a pry tool.

I find that the metal stamped keychain bottle openers, tho ones with the hole in them make good: screwdrivers, light pry bars for paint cans and such, scraper, For picking mud or gum or whatever out of my boot lugs, and they arent bad for opening bottles either.

I'd rather risk a $5 widgy then a $150 benchmade.

I have one of the small Atwood Widgies on me today. It fits nicely in the watch pocket.
