I feel like you need to have a good, specific reason to carry a pry bar around. Otherwise it’s a waste of pocket space.
This. I want to carry one. I like the idea of having one around. But I never have occasion to use it. I carry a Leatherman style PS and a pocket knife and that's usually all. But I do use both of those regularly.
Exactly what i came in the comments to write
Zach Woods Pen Pry is by far one of my most loved and useful tools. It's way slimmer and smaller than most pry bars. It's also handmade and eye wateringly expensive.... So I only have four...
I look forward to checking that out. Good heads up!
my right ear loved the info
I carry a mighty bar around at work. I work in plastic manufacturing and it’s super useful when I’m working on an extruder. If you don’t have 500 degree plastic around you regularly I can’t imagine what you need it for.
Can’t live without mine . It’s the Civivi one that came free with my elementum. It’s on my keys and it’s amazing
As a stagehand working in a roadhouse. You need a pry tool for prying up a stage floor or prying up panels to run cable. Can’t do my job without it
I really enjoy the Gerber prybrid utility. I ALWAYS need a utility knife but the prybar has surprisingly come in handy in the past.
I carry one of the County Comm 4 inch widgy bars in my tool kit and it's come in handy way more than I expected.
I use the one on my leatherman all the time at work, but a dedicated one like these would be even better. (Im a tire tech and usually use it to pry weights of of wheels.)
Mine is basically a fidget token. Have never used the blessed thing for its original purpose, but it is my most handled EDC item.
I didn't in the past, but I have one on the way. It will be handy at work
I carry the Milwaukee razor with screwdriver. Pries, cuts, and screws for under $20. The kit I got had a normal knife in it as well! Gave that to a friend and kept the fancy one.
I carry a titanium one on my key chain. I've damaged flathead screwdrivers before & the pry bar finally earned it's way on the key chain among other things.
I carry one every day. Super handy for my work.
I don't want to pry, but what do you do for work?
@@somethingorother319 I run my own electrical company. Super handy for those times you don’t want to bring your main tool bag to look at a job or need to get into something when I don’t want to use one of my good knives.
@@MattStylesVlogs I mostly asked the question just to use the pun. But fair enough.
I've carried a Gerber Artifact for about 15 years. I don't really pry things often, but I use the razor blade, screwdriver, and bottle opener occasionally. It's a great keychain.
Yes, i would carry it. Yes, i DO carry one. And can’t live without it. I need it most often to open cans, open key rings, open bottle tops, and open boxes 📦
Whoever thinks prying tools are useless-THEY are useless! There’s so many ways they can be used and they don’t have enough imagination to think of one 🤣
I've used one of them as a wedge to separate a valve off a pipe.
I use my Leatherman Style PS flat head to pry things... A bigger prying tool than that is maybe a few years out in my to-purchase list
I daily carry a Gerber shard. I got it for free a few years back at an outdoor festival.
Yes I carry the middle one and it's fantastic you can hardly
I love my Gerber lockdown pry, cannot leave home without it, sometimes you just need extra prying force your hands simply can't handle and have broken my leatherman surge flat head trying to pry something off.
Alot of folks think they got a shotty knife bc it breaks when they're trying to use it for the wrong application! "But dude I paid $200 for this ESEE, it shall tear thru the ruins of the earth and still be under warranty"
I have those 3 Olight prybars, but I never carry them or any of the other ones I own. I like collecting them, but haven't really found myself actually using them.
I never liked any of the pry tool offerings from most companies. Not worth the pocket space. That was until I found the Gerber Prybrid. I constantly need a utility knife at work and often reach for a flat head when I need to pry or hold something open. The Prybrid is the perfect combo for that. I normally don't go for Gerber products but they nailed it with the Prybrid
Recently had to use my PM2 Tanto at work as a chisel/ pry bar and had to use a hammer to it. Ended up chipping off a piece off the handle so now I’m looking at Casey Lynch or Vero Engineering pry bars!
Made my own out of a wrench. Use it daily at work.
I like the concept of them, but I feel they tend to copy too many features (albeit more basic) available in other multi tools.
I agree.
I carry the smallest pry bar from a Dasco 3 piece set as a Keyfob. I do use it at least a couple of times a week.
I've had multiple of the mini "bonus thumb bar " and they're fine, but I have found that they don't seem to be hardened much if at all.
They are basically free though which is great, they'd probably only be about $1.99 if you could buy them and I think Vaughan & Bushnell/ Dasco ( V&B owns / makes them) should start selling them separately.
I like the countycomm widgey bars much more because they're significantly higher quality, but can't really hate the little freebie dasco.
Nite-eyez(sp?) has small 2” long carabiner style pry tool that has a ½” serrated cutter;3-wrench sizes from ¼-3/8”; small Phillips head; bottle opener, 40mm ruler and file edge. Either half of the pry wedge works as a flat head screwdriver. I’m surprised how much I use it and it is small enough to clip to my key ring. I open corrugated cardboard boxes frequently at work and home sealed with tape or staples and I’m one of those people who can’t move past a loose drawer handle or other screw without taking a few seconds to retighten it. It was pretty in expensive but not cheaply made. Sorry I can’t add a picture of it.
The olight pry with the whistle comes in handy
I carry one almost daily but it’s because my workplace has a strict no bladed implent rule for anyone who isn’t a dedicated maintenance or repair foreman so when I need to open a box and don’t want to use the dinky cheap box cutters were supplied with or I need to actually pry something for my job (which I need to do far more than a normal person as I operate a rarely used machine that occasionally requires a small pry tool. I carry the exact tool on the bottom of this video but I only ever use the pry bar part I barely ever use it for the wrenches.
Gerber Prybrid! Lets me open a multitude of packages and boxes with one tool.
I just got my otacle 2 and love it, i use prybars in tiny spaces almost daily as a stove technician and only recently did i find (and fall in love) with pocketpry's.
I just started carrying one for the first time. I’ve got a small one: Gerber Prybrid x. Liking it so far. The screwdriver functionality on mine is pretty limited....
I'm kinda interested in getting one. Not sure though. Leaning towards the Doohickey.
I do for work but not when I’m off
Thousandth Like! Love your stuff!
The flat blade on my Vic Compact is my prying tool.
I mostly just carry the 5" rogan prybar, if any at all. No extra features, just a really solid prybar. I prefer other edc screwdrivers.
I never used to carry one and, thankfully, I never used my knife as one. I began carrying one and found that it was handy. Eventually I got ones that had more then just pry utility and it’s become part of my EDC.
In all honesty, I find myself offering to people just so they don’t have to use a pocket knife, more then I would have thought lol
Carry that O'pry 1 every day. Use it more frequently than my EDC knife; saves it from abuse. The CountyComm "Leva" at $11 to the EOS "Ti-Shark" at $20, the Maserin "S.A.W" at $30..
I use them daily.
Love them never have one when I require it. usually go to a multifunction tool that works at a pinch. Think it more the thought of how useful it is, rather than my practice requirements.
Love them I carry bottom 2 my wife carries the middle one but we are also big support of olight flashlight as well
Admittedly I own a handful of pry tools but only carry a basic T Pop in my wallet. I’ll opt for a larger pry bar I can clip to the pocket when I travel, but for convenience a smaller pry tool works for most basic situations.
Carry one everyday, either a Gerber Prybrid, a Kershaw one, or one from Schrade. Haven't tried the Olight ones yet. A Wallet Ninja works great as a portable Ice scraper.
I like having my Kershaw PT1 prybar when I go somewhere where I don't want to or can't bring a knife. It was under $8 and it accompanies my Victorinox Jetsetter.
Don't usually carry. I like the Nite Ize Doohicky Ratchet. 2 double sided bits with the ratchet. Pretty well made and feels solid at a low price.
I cannot imagine a situation where I needed a prying tool so immediately that I had to carry one in my pocket. I've survived over 50 years without one.
I cant imagine a situation where most edc besides a pen and maybe, mayyyyyyyyybe a light but even thats a stretch, and many people survive with their phone being the only edc, and a wallet of course. Yet its still handy to carry a knife and light and many other tools because they are exactly that, a tool. Tools make jobs easier. You may not have needed it, but it is convenient when it is needed.
I like a simple prybar preferably made of tool steel 5 inch minimum length anything smaller can’t do any real work, a prybar is for everything you shouldn’t do with your knife. So if you work in an office and the only thing you use a knife for is your fingernails then you probably don’t need a prybar but I’m a mechanic and I use a Zach woods prybar all the time, Rogan USA is probably the best overall prybar you can buy with function and price in mind
i just ordered the otacle 2
I carried the Otacle 2, until somebody stole it from me (along with my Viperade VE16 pack). Darn SNA airport. That thing was great. I used the prying tool a lot, but I didn't really use the screw-driver function. I DID need that hex shape for nuts though
Gerber Prybrid in my pocket and Gerber Shard on my keys
I do have the OLIGHT pry 1 and I do like it and have used it but it is a lot to carry as well as my other two knives, But I really do like it and am glad I seen this video and know other people get them as well, My wife doesn’t believe me!
Random question, are knucks just fidget toys or is there a purpose behind them. No BS I really don’t understand them.
I've got the original Dynamis version of the Winkler Knives "combat screwdriver". I picked it up after I broke the lock bar for the flat head and the hook off the strap cutter on my Leatherman OHT doing the no no and prying with them at work. Figured I was gonna pry anyways so I might as well use something that can hold up to it. One of these days I'll get around to getting the OHT repaired or replaced, but it and the WK do what I need them to so the motivation has been low.
I used to have a Gerber pocket pry and it had an exacto knife that folded on the side of it. I used it to steal letherman's back in the 2000s with it. They didn't have alarms on them and weren't locked up like they are now, probably because of me. Yes i was s clepto I've changed my ways once i hit 25.
I think EDC gadgets are cool but I don’t like full pockets or have a reason to carry all that on a day to day basis. All I need is my pistol, knife, and light. And ofc the basic phone, wallet, and keys
I do, but... I am a trim carpenter, so a flatbar is kinda a necessity for some niche applications. On the off days a Leatherman works well enough for me.
Been dying to get a vero engineering one. But they are hard to get by here in Europe.
I already carry a multitool, I've never had a need for a dedicated mini prybar, but no hate.
Carrying one without screws
I got that fat one and regretted it. Too steep to pry, then the gate screw fell off so it can no longer hold the bits. Bought the Gerber Prybid and am very happy, the utility knife is a handy tool and it is thin enough to actually get under something to pryl
Everyday. Usually it’s a LynchNW All Access Pass
Love olight! Great company far as I have seen!
Love that Olight Opry lol she’s my favorite when I’m doing pavers and I need to wiggle them a little
Split rings. That's my answer.
I would carry one if I found one I liked.
I carry a pride tool everyday, I've used it, but no I don't really think it's necessary to carry on a daily basis. I only really carry it because I spent way too much money on it
I live in the UK
I would probably carry one of these as knife laws are rather strict
I also live in the UK, and sometimes wonder if the slight slant of the chisel tip to my CRKT Pryma (which makes it fantastic for opening boxes) could get me in trouble. It would probably make a worse weapon than the average car key, but all you need is for a police officer to think that it looks too scary and it's getting confiscated at the very least.
I would never carry one specifically, but I have used a flathead as a pry tool. Never seen the use for a dedicated one though
I carry a Leatherman lol
Love them!
I didn’t know how bad I needed one till now lol
I believe there is sort of an in between.
For me I like carrying one, but it has to be nothing but a pry bar.
It absolutely cannot have a cap lifter no exceptions, I'd rather die than carry a pry bar with a cap lifter cut into it.
It also can't be a bit driver because that adds thickness weight and bulk I don't need.
A hex hole does not, but it's still very awkward and basically useless unless you've got Chapman bits.
It's also gotta be a traditional pry bar design and made of tool steel in the USA, something you'd expect to see hanging next to the hammers at a hardware store.
So I guess the in between would be that I like mini pocket pry bars, but hate basically every option put out by the knife / gear community.
I carry a Griffen. Does most things a pry bar should, plus a couple others. A decent bit holder would put it over the top. No one has found perfect yet....
review of current keychain set pls
victorinox miniSD, ruike multitool, any multitool.. those bars are just fancy toy.
I do I carry that top olight you got there. The only problem is those 4mm bits don’t stay in place that little tab turns in my pocket then I get to fish the bits out from my change lol
i like my cheap Amazon one. it prys.
I just have one in my back I carry occasionally. It's titanium, so it weighs nothing. I'd rather have it than not have it
I carry a Victorinox Electrician alox, its bottle opener is a great prying tool.
Personally I find no use for it. If I need it I have it on my leather man. I’m a journeyman for the union. I have all the tools I need. Outside of work though? I’ve never needed a pet bar except if something in my car is stuck. And that’s happened what, twice? Idk. If I was working in tech I can see it being useful for panels or something though.
A good flathead screwdriver is all you need. If that's not enough then we are talking about pry bars.
Can someone please explain what these pry? I'm genuinely lost. Lol i can't see where I'd ever need this.
i dont need a screwdriver cos i have a bag of wera screwdrivers. i dont need a prying tool cos i have 3 dif sizes of crowbar. only people who dont need 1, need 1. if that makes any sense
Reality is I’d rather have the space used for multi tool or knife unless there was a constant specific use
I carry a gerber chonk. Simple and useful 👌
I have one of those. I 50% love it, and I 50% feel like a complete imbecile for having bought it
@jic1 it's at least not a high price tag! Cool to have for the price I think 😎
The trouble is most of them are too short. Pry is leverage so short ones are not fit for purpose. At least 20cm
Because of the angle, you can't see the sides. And i legit thought those were going to snap together with magnets or something, to make one tool. Hahaha
The gerber shard works all the time. It is a pry tool some of the time and the best one at it, and the rest of the time it is really great at stabbing you unexpectedly
hate them, but they're very necessary
What are you guys prying open everyday that you need to carry one? Not a knock I am seriously curious.
i've got about 6 in my toolbox if i ever need one
i just carry a prying mantice
I keep a NiteIze DoohicKey on my keys. That's enough for me. The only "real" prybar that tempts me is the Fulcrum mini.
i an thinking about buing the one on the top that you have here, or Vero Engenering
Hmm, I think vero...full size is the best actual prying angle.
Gerber artifact 10+ years. Great for tweaking locked doors and prying car doors when keys get locked in.
I’ve carried a Gerber pocket box knife with a pry bar on it. I don’t think I’ve ever once used the pry bar. It’s cool, but fairly useless.
I have the larger of the olight’s in the mail (uk mail on strike)… would love a lynch northwest. But “drops” from edc manufacturers are….. boring. 🤬
I’m in between cus I don’t own one😂
