- In this video I’ll show you how to make a custom DIY pry bar that you can easily carry with you in Patrol, SWAT, or Detectives. I'll also show you some easy ways to carry it on your SWAT kit, external vest carriers, or soft body armor.
I stole this idea from a couple of guys from New York City’s Emergency Services Unit and I’ve used mine for years. For about $10.00 and a little tactical elbow grease you can have an effective breaching tool with you at all times.

Turning a pry bar into a pry bar! 🤯
Take a few minutes with a drill and put a hole through the top of the bar to have a lanyard hole. Things that are not attached always find a way to come loose or get lost riding in the car or truck or while getting in or out.
Genius idea Dooood!!!! Cutting the rubber grip off a harbor freight pry bar + arts & crafts time w/ glue and cord! Awesome tool creation, it's tacticool!
I'm not going to able to keep this tactical out of my home when Biden goes after our guns
"The older I get, the more I realize I should carry a big screwdriver, just in case someone's screw is loose." :)
I was impressed with this idea until I really thought about it. Loss of leverage, comfortable grip. When it gets wet the cordage will become soggy and will contaminate your hands every time you hold it. Contamination with dirt, muck, mold or waste fluids, human waste fluids. Can be used against you if taken away by a combatant while in a scrape. And Harbor Freight sells cats paws. Mini prybars longer than 6-8 inches in usable area above the paracord. I have a 16 inch Craftsman flathead screwdriver that I keep in my Jeep. Same clear handle, spray painted black to not reflect lights at night and has some gravity in it when holding the blade end and swinging the handle like a club. My work used to issue employees a brand new set of screwdrivers every year of employment. I have 5 full size rollaway toolboxes of nearly new tools. Why buy a $5 POS prybar at HF if possibly every pepper watching this video has tools on hand? Still a good idea though D⁹.
Stubborn ole commercial security measures?! Mini-20lb sledge hammer and a crowbar! Problem solved! "Ooh-ooh-ah-ah-ooh-ooh-ah..."
You can be the hero, but maybe first go get a warrant and grab a pry bar on the way back.
The 550 cord makes it tactical af and it’s super useful if your breaking into your roommates bedroom with the paper thin doors to scare the shit out of him while you LARP
Pour boiling water over it when you are done wrapping it. It makes it way tighter and won't loosen up.
I’ve carried one on my vest for the last 5 years and always recommend it to everyone. Only wish you would have came out with this video about 5 years sooner, it would have saved me some $$$. I bought mine already completed for around $30.
I made the exact same prybar over a year ago only I used a craftsman prybar. I didn't remove the finish under the wrap because in the event the wrap gets wet it still has some corrosion protection. The epoxy I used holds the wrap fine without having to sand.
I wrapped mine with paracord but left space as I wrapped, think stripes on a candy cane. Came back over that with heat shrink. Best of both worlds, grippy and space saving.
I'd like to suggest using electricians heat shrink for underground cables .
Thanks for the video I modified it a little bit but appreciate your advice. Got the same pry bars took off the handles and did not remove the paint. Then I simply used some hockey tape for the handles. When I do this I pull a 12" length twist it tightly and pre wrap the handle as it gives it more grip. Then I continue to wrap regular about three times. Good solid grip and great tool. Thanks again
A drywall knife is also a great idea for bypassing interior door locks.
That spring loaded thing you're talking about are called cord locks . You can get them for dirt cheap off of Amazon in all kinds of sizes and hole configurations.
10/10 - I would recommend this 100% - pretty much the exact tool some junkie piece of shit used to burglarize my house a couple of years ago...
Thank you for this great tip. Keep up the great work!
Great video
