The little Wonderbars can be very effective you can jamb or hammer them in somewhere and then stand on them with your boots. They can be bent almost straight if you put enough pressure on them. Even if you can only catch one side of the claw it will still take that kind of punishment for a while without breaking. I have seen a 200lbs guy stand on one bending it flat to the floor many times. They can and will be broken this way sooner or later but are cheap to replace and can get into places nothing else can.
I carry a 24-inch Ti Bar in my truck a 24-inch steel bar in my car and keep two 36-inch bars and a 48-inch bar around the house. My tool bag in the truck usually has several sized smallish bars or hive tools etc. that come in handy.

I found the item, but the image link in your post does not function.

The Japanese Cat's Paw is my favorite of this type of tool - the 6" model is quite effective for it's size and it's 4oz. weight...

(PS: Okay, I'd been hoping to figure it out on my own, but I give up - what does E.D.C. stand for?)

EDC means Every Day Carry. Something you carry on your person or in your kit every day. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wow - 30' ! What in the world do you lift with one of those "monsters"? You must be a fan of Archimedes!

The colors for the Ti Prybaby are awesome. I wish I could get my Sebenza scales done like that...

I think you might be able to find someone who will do it for you. Look through the Chris Reeve Forum on Bladeforums. Certainly I recall someone doing the Ti coloring of slabs of a Sebbie. Maybe not as wild, but I wouldn't give up hope.

Just cut loose on them with a torch. Good practice is on Ti sporks.
