Modifying a Titanium Prybar

[dzlvs8]

I am looking to buy a small 3" titanium prybar. However, it doesn't have a notch for removing nails. Would I possibly be diminishing the integrity/strength of the titanium if I ground out a notch with a dremel? Also, is the titanium going to discolor very easily?

No the titanium will not discolour if it is already it's natural gray - steel - colour. Cutting a notch in it may not be as easy to do so as to do it in a manor that will make it useful. It will not be a "good" tool to pull nails with in any case. The strength needed just isn't there. It's springy but not strong. Frank
