Titanium Pocket Tools: branch off hobby?

I landed on the Boker Toucan. I decided I wanted something with an edge also for more versatility. Not titanium, but has been quite useful, and the price was under $30. Now I don't have to use my expensive main blade when I need to use a sharper edge to start prying open something small and tight.

I've got one of the original Atwood Prybabys. Not the titanium one, just the steel one. I thought it was pricy at $25 all those years ago! However, its well made, works well as a bottle opener, and I've used it to scrape paint, pry open a window and to tighten a few little screws here and there. I wouldn't necessarily pay the price the new ones are going for, but I'm glad I got mine.
 
As a half computer geek, half construction guy I use my Atwood Spannerbaby quite a bit for prying things open when I don't want to use my knife. The spanner digs into my leg though through my pants and I very rarely use it on a Strider pivot so I ordered one of these today: http://www.bluelinegear.com/product/Titanium-ATS-Bottle-Opener-MultiTool The other problem with my Atwood is the spanner wrench digs into my hand whenever you use the prybar part and it's too small to be comfortable, the new one looks more comfy.

ps. I have Stanley wonder bars in all my bugout bags. Under $5 apiece.. (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-Wonder-Bar-II-Pry-Bar-55-045/100029546) but they are just a little bit too big for EDC unless you have a manbag or the like..
