Just got mine today. The finish was an accident, but I liked it. Made from O1 tool steel
 
I have a JK K-Tool on my keychain - handy to have a little pry tool!

The K-Tool is also made in hardened 01 tool steel.

I have the smallest widgey on my keys carrier. not used often, but nice to have at least that much.
 
I sometimes carry a small titanium pry bar from ContyComm. Small, handy, light weight and pretty much indestructible.
 
I have pocket pry tools . But I never use them. So I don't carry them. They just sit around in a drawer somewhere.

I could see how a painter or mechanic how it come in handy. Or someone that has to pry thing in their job. But for the average person it does not get used.
 
I carry a leatherman crunch at work the sheath for it has room for both a little pry bar and a 4 in crescent wrench. I made the one I carry is a mini pry bar from the hardware that I cut and rounded with a dremil I use it mainly to pry open painted over access panels to get to valves
 
I have carried various Atwood tools and County Comm pry tools, but they never got used so I stopped carrying them. For my light duty purposes, the flat driver on a Swiss Army Knife is adequate.
 
My CountyComm is used mostly for liberating beer from its jail... But it always is around when needed.

I'm trying one for now. A Custom Knife Factory model. Don't know how long I'll stick with it as I like a minimalist approach.. I try my best to not be a "pocket dump" guy with 5 pounds worth of stuff in my pockets.

I chuckle when I see two tactical folders, a traditional slip joint, a rigid device with a band to carry money & cards, a flashlight, a backup flashlight, a multi tool with a pry tool as back up, a recycled hank, a lighter, a ferro rod as back up, Rite in the Rain notebook & pen, a vape, a spinner gadget, and a blow out kit.
 
Always have my K'roo Chunky Drunk on me, it's been very useful as a prytool, screwdriver and of course a bottle opener. Haven't needed the wire stripper yet. Glass breaker hasn't seen use yet either but doubles as lanyard hole that I use to clip it to my belt loop as she rides in my watch pocket. Love this thing!
 
Trying to get a custom multi-tool that has a folding crowbar in it. Seems like it would cost A LOT from Karambit.com- maybe someone else can get things done? I was, at least, looking to get a section of a demolition screwdriver that folds into a trench (like a multi-tool handle). I figure that would be something useful, since it could be used straight OR folded at 90-degrees & twisted. Any ideas?

I don't know how to do it, but I figure there would be a round piece with an hexagonal/octagonal hole in it & the screwdriver piece going through the hole, then welded together. The piece that the screwdriver goes through is like an axle & it spins freely. Not a real need, I guess, but I would like measuring marks on each side (imperial on one & metric on the other) & would also like a solid section at the end that can be both glass-breaker & have a slot for screwdriver bits or hex-shank drill bits. Bare minimum, it looks less like a burglar's tool- ha ha (but seriously).
 
I used to carry one daily on my keys for about a year. After never using it I took it off. I don't miss it.

Click to expand...

Especially when it is all on the same ring as car keys; wonder why the ignition switch is broken...
 
Mainly use the flat bladed screw driver on my SAK Pioneer, but a dedicated prybar thingy would be cool too, that carabineer looking dealybob is interesting, looks like a lot is packed on and around that thing!
