Mini pry tools?

I have 2 sizes of Vaughn mini pry bars that I've used for moulding removal. Never thought of them as a survival tool. Those that use them as such ---- please give me some examples of how you have used them.

1- Wait for S to HTF.
2- Use pry bar to survive.
 
:cool: Like wow, groovy. We now have custom designers for what are really basic, inexpensive tools. I certainly see the appeal but I feel that many basic desgns already exist to take care of almost anything without looking for special new designs.

A Swiss Army Knife (Victorinox Spartan) together with a small folding multitool (one of many Leatherman clones) handles almost every task. No key chain pry bar is really big enough to be a pry bar - I carry a Pocketwrench II in the same nylon belt sheath as the Victorinox. The Pocketwrench II also has metrc and SAE measuring scales and a large opening that can act as an emergency wrench or shackle key. There is also an opening to fit 1/4 inch drive screwdriverbits: auto parts stores have sets of common bit sizes for a few dollars. The trust GI can opener also fits on a key chain.

In my breast pocket I carry a small penlight and a small screwdriver that has two small straight slot screwdriver sizes and two small Phillips screwdriver sizes. These small and inexpensive tools cover nost bases.

The best mini Pry bar I've found by far.. not really for the keychain.. More of a back pocket item.. But it is a wonderful little tool! The total length is about 5 and 1/4 inches.. my ZT in the photo fits right underneath it in my back pocket..

The sears 4way screwdriver makes a good light prybar.
My favorites are the pockettoolx brewzer, now made by leatherman, and the bushkey in O1.

uh, what do you propose to be doing with such things? I can think of jurisdictions where carrying such items would open you up to charges of "possession of burglars tools". Did you know that? I've lived 60 years now, and can't remember a time when I could have profited from such an item. I mean, in a vehicle, you can carry real tools, so what's with the pocket stuff?

I never thought of it in that way, you do have a good point. But as far as that goes the fencing pliers, 3 pound shop hammer, or 18 inch breaker bar I generally carry in the truck would have got me in trouble already. I wanted something to carry on my key chain so when I am away from the vehicle I have something better than just a paper clip to try and open, scrape, scribe a line at work or any other tasks that may present to me. At my workplace it's pretty well frowned upon for anyone to carry a knife, club, gun, weapon, bear spray, or anything that can be used to harm a person unless you are security then you can carry a pistol. So having something like a nice little key chain pry bar is a great benefit when I need something that a ink pen or paper clip is to flimsy for.
 
Wow, if a pocketknife bothers them, I'd be hunting up a new job, really quickly.
