Dosn't look much use for actually prying anything worthwhile. & looks a bit thin to boot. That hammer head is a joke for anything other than light work. A nail puller with a point to lever on?? What sort of design is that? As for that curved bit being some type of axe - well What can you say?
It seems to be one for the gadget afficionardo's or possibly a roofer.
A pry bar needs to be able to pry what you wish to pry with it. I have also been considering carrying a prybar to enable entry to vacant abandoned premises for emergency reasons you understand.... The standard design has a lot going for it and is shaped that way for a reason. It is easy to carry and could double up for other uses. The only problem is weight... I am trying to lighten the load at the moment and don't really see being able to include that in a BOB for on foot as being doable. For vehicle transport or for the home, then is invaluable for foraging missions. (IMO)
Fair comments.
Youtube says the Annihilator is a strong build and really good. I'm thinking of having it as more of a multi-tool. It is just a simple "More Options" tool.
I'll be able to use the pry system, but I'll also have a big spike to use, and the wrench capabilities, and things like that. It just looks to be a good all rounder with strong construction. For £30ish, it'll be worth buying.
