Small Pry Tools

I was just a few guys about the Atwood tools. We all agreed pretty expensive. They may be worth it. I plan to talk to my father-in-law who runs a machine shop to check the cost of making a few.

That's great Killstew. let me know if your father in law able to make a few I would like to purchase one:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::)
 
I have a micro widgey bar on my keyring and its larger brother in the side compartment of my LM Charge. They've come in handy a few times and for the minimal weight they add, why not? :)
 
After the East Coast Blackolut in 2003 I started keeping a small emergency bag in my desk at work. Among the "hardware" I included was the Countycomm PocketWidgey prybar. I think I've loaned it out to people in the office to use even more times than I've used it myself.

For the money, as long as you stay within the limitations imposed by it's size, you just can't beat it.

The original photo in this thread with the Sears Craftsman minibar looks like an OEM version of the Vaughan minibar with different finish. The Vaughans at Home Depot appear to be chrome plated instead of painted. I have one of those, and even handier, a similar sized minibar from Enderes Tools, also USA made. It is plain, no chrome or paint, not even their name stamped on it. I know it's from Enderes, since I got it from one of their displays at a local tool store. I believe it's their D-37 Micro Utility Bar, although their specs say 5.25" long and mine is closer to 5.5". I like it better than the Vaughan because the chisel tips are on the opposite side of the tips from the Vaughan, what I would call the right side, and ground much sharper, almost 30 degrees. I wonder if that's a patent issue, or if Vaughan thinks they're being clever. Enderes is the outfit that I think invented the 4 in 1 and 6 in 1 screwdrivers that everyone's copied, with the patent on the bits with two Phillips drivers on one, and two slotted drivers on the other.
 
I have a prybar similar to the one pictured in the first post, but I rather like the look of these

a small pry bar has its place imo. no need to bend or beat up your knife trying to pry something i mean unless its the kabar becker tactool, its not really made for that type of work. imo. why do it if you could carry around one of these little guys to help you out

Usually we details but no picture. This time we have a great picture but no details. These look interesting. I have never seen them before. Who makes them? Web site -- anything? THANKS.

Happy New Year everyone!
 
I went by Sears today and checked out their mini pry bar. Very light weight and I was able to slightly bend it with just my hands, I'll pass on this one! I like the JRP and the JDR buy at $65-$85 I think I'll have to pass on them too. Who makes a pry bar that is stout enough to use and does not cost a bunch of $?
