Just broke my Gerber Prybrid utility knife from use, but hadn’t used the prybar once. Wondering what you all use your mini prybars for!

    Being able to pull up or peel something without peeling back your thumb/finger nail is kinda nice. I don’t carry a specific pry-bar, but some things I carry have a pry-bar-esque utility that is super handy.

    When I was a kid I cut myself on one of those peel-up cat food can lids, so badly I saw my own bones for a moment.

    Ever since then I’ve preferred to use a tool for opening those cans, if only out of paranoia.

    I have found the usual small prybars useful, but I have since discovered variants like this:

    It provides a much better grip and the curve give it a lot more leverage. I’ve been surprised at how much more effective it is than straight bars of a similar size. (This one was made by Teale Designs on Etsy.)
