I'm not saying it's not worth the money (certainly more so than the prybaby)... I'm just curious if you use it very often, and if so, for what? The prying part I mean. When it comes to nuts and bolts I rarely have emergencies and if I do need to crank something down, I'm using wrenches and sockets. Not a bad Idea relegating it to your tool pouch. I think I may have to do that too.

It is sort of a stauts item; for those who already have everything.
It is really cool looking and made really well but it is really a very expensive bottle opener. I don't even EDC a regular bottle opener because I can open a bottle without a dedicated tool.

I use the wrench part to hold nuts while I unscrew the bolts, and I pry with it every so often do things like lift wall plate that got painted over. For those roles, it is great. But I've also wedged it between two pieces of firewood that have frozen together and given it a kick- they now fit in the wood stove, and the pocketwrench didn't get bent, so I'd say it's pretty tough.
