Economical pry bar options

[Mr. Whippy]

Many of us have a pocket Widgy from Countycomm as a pocket pry tool.  Today, my wife came home from Home Depot with an EXCELLENT alternative to the pocket Widgy:



And the best part is ALL 3 are just $9.97, what a bargain!

Ah, but are they made of the fancy D9 tool steel that no one has ever heard of? 

Didn't know they make them that small.

I love the dasco concrete chisel's. They should be really good. I think they're made with cold steel not sure.

Sent from my Android toothbrush!

Funnily enough, D9 is an old legacy name for a steel not dissimilar to 18-8, it has somewhat more added stuff than 18-8. What I do know for sure about D9 in the County Comm prybars is that it is not the D9 similar to 18-8. (That D9 isn't magnetic. And not a rust magnet either.) Also, D9 is not part of the AISI tool steel series (like the popular D2) either.

So, people have heard about D9, it's just that County Comm's prytools aren't made of it.

Maybe it's really D-nide.

(That said, I actually like the County Comm prybars, they're cute, cheap and durable enough to be useful. Opens a beer bottle just fine. )
