Yup, thats it for me as well.

My SAK does most of the little jobs.
I just use the bottle opener on an SAK cadet for most prying tasks. The "EDC prybars" always seemed like Instagram pocket fodder that looks good on a hank.
Unless you have some specific task in your everyday routine that requires a more substantial prybar I suspect an SAK will have you covered.
Many people will carry a second knife in addition to the SAK. I do that sometimes if the urge strikes me. It's mostly because I want to and not because I need to.Seeing a lot of this here... I have a small prybar w/ bottle opener on my keyring precisely so that I can carry knives that aren't SAKs. When I started carrying fixed blades and single-blade folders a few years ago instead of the SAKs I've been using my whole life, I found that I was really missing the bottle opener and the flat-head screwdriver.
Now if only I could find a prybar with a toothpick slot
I agree. There are too many good, inexpensive, and unobtrusive ones to not carry one.Save your life, gotta have? No. Opening beers and other tasks, yes they are handy. For under $15, they are worth throwing on a keychain.
I carry a Leatherman Brewzer on my keychain. It has a pry tool and bottle opener. Very handy.
I have multiples of that very one and keep one on my keys for when I am not carrying a multitoolView attachment 1133592 I carry this one I bought at Home Depot. It gives my something I can pry with and otherwise abuse without any real concern. And if I do somehow manage to break it, it was like $3.50. No big deal
That's the truth...if I paid $150+ for a mini pry bar, I think I'd be hesitant to use it. Realistically, even $50 seems pretty high for the simple ones...but I don't want to carry a dollar store screwdriver in my pocket, just in case.I suppose it makes sense if you want to 'save' your good knives from being used as pry tools, but then one has to question what the purpose of an expensive pry bar is (I've seen them going for $80 to over $200).
