The county comm bars are the only ones I'd ever consider worth a damn.
Just a useful little no nonsense tool good for paint / stain cans, staples, tacks, rocks in my boot tread , just a lot of things you'r probably never think of till they come up.
With the flat one you can forget it's even there till you need it depending on where it's carried.
I think the fancy custom types are just stupid, and can't stand anything with a bottle opener either.
I just want my pry bar to be a pry bar, not a worthless makeshift wrench or barely sharp corner for package opening, or a screwdriver that sort of works in some situations.
I just don't understand those fancy custom machined titanium novelty pry tools that are bulkier than they need to be and don't really function any better for the added bulk.
I suppose that's probably because I'm not into modern knives, I'm a traditionalist when it comes to a lot of things.
If I wanted a bigger pry bar I'd carry one of these Dasco pry bar - scrapers.
I have a few of them, carry one at work, and find them to be one of the greatest things ever.
They're only $5 too.
Or I'd carry one of my Vaughan / Dasco mini pry bars.
Otherwise I like the Flat 2.5" bar from Countycomm.
