I see a lot of references on ETS forums about these mini pry bars. I'm curious what the expected use would be in a survival situation?A larger pry bar I can understand. I'm just not sure what is the utility of the really small ones? I seem to be missing something here.
I've used all of them (I carry all sizes, straight and curved in various kits) and they work. Screw in flat heads. Cut open boxes. Pry open wooden crates. Get general leverage on something that needs bending. I've used them to "pop" doors open when I've locked myself out on a number of occasions.
I'm sure they are useful for many small day to day tasks. There is no question that a large pry bar (or better yet a full on crow bar or a Halligan) would be usefull as a rescue tool in a disaster.

However, I question that the little 3 inch one would be that crucial in most survival situations? I'm skeptical, but I'm willing to be convinced.
