YOU NEED AN EDC PRY BAR 20220128 - Payback 1“Have you checked out the EDC pry bars on Gallantry? They’re EXTREMELY fresh. They’re HOT FIRE!”

It’s the classic scenario. You’re in a rush, maybe you’re even in a survival or emergency situation, so you end using one of your EDC pocket knives to try and remove a nail, open a stuck window, remove floor tiling, you name it. What happens next is entirely predictable. You break off the tip of your EDC pocket knife (which is meant to cut) or key (which is meant to unlock) because you used it to do the job of an EDC pry bar, the specialized miniature everyday carry version of the widely recognized pry bar that is just exploding in popularity these days.

At first, you lose your cool. This isn’t usually how you, a total Gallantry Man legend, rolls. However, you quickly regain your composure, remembering that you are, in fact, a legend and that Gallantry always has you covered.

You remember that Gallantry carries a killer collection of pry bars, all of which are able to withstand insane amounts of force and pressure (thank to signature unique metal composition), just perfect for applying leverage to something in order to open it or pry it apart (inserting the edge of the pry bar into a hatch or door’s opening side, using its handle as a pressure application point in order to force more clearance of the stuck components).

So let’s talk about why you really need to add an affordable, functional pry bar (either a la carte or as part of a multitool) to your growing, esteemed everyday carry collection this instant.

Let’s talk about some of the situations where you’ll need your pry bar.

Let’s talk about you should properly use your pry bar.

LET’S TALK.

YOU NEED AN EDC PRY BAR 20220128 - Payback 2“Honey, if you want this relationship to work I need you to get some everyday carry pry bars from Gallantry ASAP. I got into a relationship with a Gallantry Man, not a Not-Gallantry-Man, you know what I mean?”

WHEN YOU’LL NEED A PRY BAR

Plucking nails out of a board. Popping open bottles and paint cans. Scouring surfaces. Separating two stuck-together (but separate) objects. Opening packages. An everyday carry pry bar can do it all. In fact, there’s not much an everyday carry pry bar, with its pure and highly durable metallic structure, can’t do.

Oh, you want to pop open a keyfob to replace its batteries? Pry bar.

Oh, you want to pull some pesky thumbtacks out of the wall? Pry bar.

Oh, you want to strip some wire? Pry bar.

Oh, you want to scrape some rust off a battery? Pry bar.

Oh, you forgot your flathead screwdriver and need a last-minute substitute? Pry bar.

Oh, you need an impromptu ad-hoc wedge replacement? Pry bar.

Oh, you need a fresh tire lever and could really use that prying edge? Pry bar.

Oh, you need to break some frickin’ glass? PRY BAR!

Non-lethal self-defense. Breaking off a door lock. Opening a stuck car door or stuck trunk. Digging. When it comes to how you can use an everyday carry pry bar, the list just goes on and on and on…

YOU NEED AN EDC PRY BAR 20220128 - Payback 3“No cutting edges on your EDC Pry Bar, k babe?”

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A PRY BAR

Having an edge in life is great, but having a cutting edge on your EDC pry bar? Not so much. A cutting edge on a cheaply made EDC pry bar can get you cut and we can’t be having that. As such, what you want to do is find an EDC pry bar without a cutting edge, preferably one with solid length (small pry bars are easier to carry daily, but longer ones work better) and a nice angle. Lastly, you’re going to want a pry bar with an especially “hooky” hook, as this will work fantastic as an attachment grapple for hooking up against forms.

YOU NEED AN EDC PRY BAR 20220128 - Payback 4“I’d be dead if it wasn’t for those EDC pry bars that I got from Gallantry. Remind me to give those dudes a great review when I get home, would ya?”

THE FINAL WORD ON EDC PRY BARS

Having an EDC pry bar isn’t just the move for everyday situations calling for two stuck objects to be taken apart. In fact, having an EDC pry bar on your person may even help you in an emergency situation, one wherein you need to save a relative or a friend’s life.

Like we said, you’ve just got to have one.
