The large screwdriver on a SAK works fine for light prying; the blade, not so much. Even if you do break the large screwdriver, you've still got the blade, small screwdriver/can opener, and other tools at your disposal.

In all honestly though, how much prying can you really do with a ~3" tool, be it this or a SAK? For less than the cost of either tool you can get a 14" crow bar from a hardware store that will pry a hell of a lot better than either. You can even get one of those little pocket wonder bars for $3.00 that, I'm willing to bet, also works better than either.
