I recently posted about a mini pry bar tool, and a reader bought this other one – The Mighty Bar – instead for a little less money.
The Gear Spool Mighty Bar is another “heavy duty” keychain-sized prying tool.
The company says the tool can be used to pry, scrape, turn screws, “and even split firewood.”

Or just use it as a package opener to rip through the tape.
Price: $12.99
Personally, I chose to buy the Milspin Rhino Bar instead, for $14.99. If there’s enough interest, I’ll buy the other one to compare.
I couldn’t find any mention of where the Mighty Bar is made, but Milspin says they make the Rhino Bar in the USA.
The two tools look similar, aside from the lanyard holes and finger grooves.

How does one actually “carry” one of these finger/pants pokers? I can easily see it in a mini tool centric environment but “carrying”” it?
Or am I simply incorrect in thinking it’s a carry tool?
Hmmm.

Wear around the next on a 3 yard minimum length Paracord? I don’t know would never buy one

I’ve had a mini pry tool with paracord looped through it attached to my keychain for probably 15 years now and it’s to be used in place of when a guy might try to pry something with his pocket knife to prevent snapping the tip off of his knife such as when opening paint lids from cans of paint etc. I’ve also used it as a wedge or temporary shim when working on something. I don’t use it often but here and there. Not hard to carry at all.

Shame the lanyard hole isn’t a 1/4 hex

For whatever reason, it’s only $7.74 on Amazon.ca. I bought one on a whim to try out.

I did also. Everything on Amazon.com, I quickly check by changing the “.cOM” to “.cA”. Works 90% of products.

I have use my Knipex Cobra as pry bar in a few cases by sliding it to the widest setting, use one of the handles as the pry bar while not getting the other one get in the way. It works in a pinch. But now I’m thinking if grinding down on of the handle ends to like these pry bar…would need a cap of some sort.

If you grind them right, one handle is a prybar and the other a flat blade screwdriver.

I usually buy a batch of pocketable or keychain sorts of tools as stocking stuffers. This year I was thinking about these but opted for a Vim 10mm keychain ratcheting box wrench. I had a 20% off coupon from Zoro – so they got my business on this:
