Pry bars are a hot topic in the EDC community. You’re either a believer in their utility or part of the crowd that sees them as a fleeting trend, arguing that a screwdriver or similar tool can handle the same tasks. The skepticism makes sense—we went decades without carrying pry bars and managed just fine. But times change, and so do needs. One of the main drivers behind their popularity is the tendency for people to misuse knives for tasks like prying, often snapping the blade. Enter the pry bar: a "blade saver" that’s become a staple, appreciated for its versatility. From opening boxes and cans of paint to popping out window screens, a simple flat piece of steel or alloy has transformed into an indispensable tool.
