What's the deal with mini pry bars?

[Andrew Wyatt]

once the Xacto loosens up from use it's much easier to open. it's not the safest thing to open, but it gets the jorb done.

A FUBAR like this one?

Only problem with the Atwood stuff is actually getting any of it.

That countycomm.com got me too for a few of those mini prybars!

I like auctions and estate sales. This one's sitting on a moon clip of .45ACP.

Cute little thing, to my eye. Gets the Johnson's Paste Wax can open just like that. Good for driving verrr-y small nails, too. <wink>

Don't forget to add a EOD Breaching Bar to your toolkits!

This had me laughing, CWL:

A Note From The Legal Department: Although the EOD Breacher Tool was developed and designed to enter the real world of urban combat, and with a little work with a file, belt sander, grinder, stone or a rock to it could be sharpened and converted to a Deadly stabbing or slashing instrument we can't recommend it. Likewise, The Flat on the handle end should not be used as a skull or rib crusher or for performing other blunt trauma. Sorry These Are Not Returnable. Be safe, and don't play with matches or run with scissors.

Picking on the Tac-Ninja Wannabes? Always good sport.

I've got a Prybaby and an Artifact. I've used them both for mostly light-duty stuff--popping cans or bottles, cleaning shoe treads, etc. Super-useful? No. Nice to have. Sure.

The Prybaby is just a cool piece of steel to have around, though.

Those pico widgy prybars from countycomm are almost identical to the basic prybaby except they don't have a dedicated bottle opener (you could use them anyway to open bottles) and...well...they're exactly 1/10 the cost. ($3.50 vs $35)
