It looks too short to get any real leverage. I don't get the concept, although let me hasten to assure one and all that I frequently don't get things first time around. I have a sheath knife that I think would do better in most situations and is more versatile. If things are too rough for a knife, I'm not sure why this little tool would do better. I admit I'd never hammer my knife or use it as a pry bar, but that's because it would either break or not have sufficient leverage - and I'm seeing the same problem here.

If I need a pry bar, I want one a few feet long and sturdier than the little Breacher Bar.

I'm sure I'm missing something.
