I have read in several threads about an EDC device refered to as a Pry Baby and was wondering where to purchase one. I have searched the ETS forums and Google searched to no avail. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Those things are cute. Lots of other neat variations on that dealer's homepage. All very cute. And expensive (some of them majorly so!) I can't imagine a whole lot of uses for them. But still ... they're so darn cute!

I don't know. Yes they are beautifully made and I am sure sometimes a prybar is handy but it think it is mostly a case of "gadget-itus".
Plus I have seen some pretty overloaded keychains over at the EDC forum and the prybaby is ubiquitous with the most heavily loaded ones.
I know it has a lot of fans but I think it is a little silly to both pay that much and walk around with a prybar everyday.
Get a good multitool and pry with that.
How much leverage can a tiny prybar give you anyway?

CountyComm is selling a set of two small "pocket" pry bars for $10.

Yeah, 'cute' is the term I use to describe it to.

I'd rather have a pocketwrench slipped in behind my Leatherman. As good a pry bar (the length advantage is cancelled out by the cut out), the wrench part is darn useful, and it is a fraction of the cost.

And consider McFeely's Pocket Wrench II.

http://www.mcfeelys.com/product.asp?productID=PW-1000

If that link doesn't work, go to the home page:
http://www.mcfeelys.com

and search in the Quick Order Item # box for the product number PW-1000

I keep a prybaby on my keychain. i've had one for about a year now. youd' be surprised on how handy this little gadget is. Atwood makes some very nice tools and knives. i know some of them look pretty crazy but for the most part i would have to say don't knock them till you try them
