A lanyard hole is also considered a tool by some people, something we find a bit iffy. Although it’s useful, is it a tool? I don’t know anything about it.

The bottle opener and the actual pry bar are both great features on the MacV. It is a bit bigger than other pocket pry bars, and provides a better grip. This allows you to pop tops or open small boxes more easily.

The SOG MacV could be your best choice if you are looking for an EDC pry bar that is a statement piece.

The Brewzer has only two functions. It is not like other pocket pry bars. The name is tongue-in-cheek and refers to opening ice-cold beers.

It excels in both of these functions. It features a beautifully shaped pry bar and tapered edges. This allows you to find the right fit under almost any item. It lifted up small boxes and paint can lids easily. It was narrow enough to open shipping boxes easily.

It is TSA-compliant and extremely affordable. It is the best EDC pry bar. It is not. It lacks the extra bells and whistles of similar-priced tools.
