Ti Pry Bar (Titanium DLC Black)

Bought this pry because it doesn't have a bottle opener or any bits. The fidget factor is really nice and smooth. The textured side of the prybar works well for nails. Feels really good in the hand. The price is kinda high but I would buy it again. This goes with me everywhere now.

The best titanium pry bar on the market. The pocket clip is deep carry and extremely well built. Great function and detail .Worth every penny.

Great fidget pry

Disappointed for the price point and brand name. The coating is coarse feels poor in the hand. The fidget blocks are also stuck.

The media could not be loaded. When I lost my trusty Boker 09BO310 Plus Vox Access Tool (titanium prybar) two months ago, I planned on just buying another. It turns out that the Boker prybar has been discontinued, so I had to start searching for an alternative.It seems like 95% or more of the prybars on the market have a bottle opener incorporated into their design. This is a trend that I hope dies soon, as I actually detest having bottle openers on any of my EDC items. At least this Vox tool cleverly designed their bottle opener as a carabiner, so it never snagged on anything, and I basically forgot it was there.Searching for a titanium prybar without a bottle opener leaves one with little options. There are some designs that I found doing various Internet searches, but most were not available from a reputable site that I am familiar with and trust, like Amazon. Some were available here, but through a third-party and would take upwards of a month for shipping.I found this prybar from Big Idea Designs fairly early in my searching, but dismissed it due primarily due to having the fidget feature, but also due to cost. While I probably would qualify for having some type of ADHD, I've managed to get through five and a half decades of life without carrying around a fidget tool/toy.I was having some serious withdrawals after going week after week without having a prybar in my pocket though, so I finally determined that this Titanium prybar from Big Idea Designs was going to be the best fit for me.Luckily it arrived quickly and in good condition. I actually made my wife bring it from home to my work place after it got delivered, as I didn't want to wait another three hours to get it in my hands (and pocket). The fit and finish of the prybar is top notch. I went with the black-coated one, as I prefer a black clip when I wear dress pants (I feel it is less noticeable). Speaking of the deep carry clip, it is very nice and I appreciate that they didn't blast their name on it (like other knife manufacturers, etc. do on their clips). This one just has a nice little Titanium 'Ti' logo, which is fine.The thickness, width, and length of the prybar is perfect. It fits in my front-right jeans pocket unnoticed (to me), sandwiched in between my pen and my knife, right where my Boker used to live. With the Boker however, I had it on a TEC Accessories dangler, whereas this prybar needs no additional clip.The only real gripe I have in the 18 or so hours this has been in my possession, is with the fidget function and the gripping surface of the magnets. I actually gave the fidget function quite a workout yesterday evening. I ended up liking having just one magnet to fidget with, as opposed to the three it came with. Having just the one magnet gave me three distinctive and different positions to move it to.I can not manipulate the magnets very well with just the surface of my thumb. I have to apply so much pressure to get my thumb to grip the magnet(s), that it takes away from the sensation of having the magnet(s) pull themselves into alignment with the magnets in the base (below the brass glide plate). It is that sensation and noise of having those magnets pull themselves into alignment that gives me the most satisfying fidget factor.So, not being able to grip the magnets with the surface of my thumb means that I have to use my fingernail when the magnet gets to the very top or very bottom position. When the magnet is at the top and I grip it with my fingernail, more often that not the magnet gets a little crooked (like I hope you can see in the attached photo) and gets stuck. The opening for the magnets is larger at the top, so that you can remove one or more of the magnets if you wish. Unfortunately, I seem to always get the magnet stuck there, where the left side of the opening transitions widths.Maybe I'll get better at my fidget skills or maybe once the unit is 'broke in' it will work itself out. I'll try to come back and update this review one way or the other. Since I really didn't want the fidget function in the first place, it seems somewhat unfair of me to gripe about it not working as smoothly as I'd like.I'm giving the unit four stars, but I'd rate it 3.5 if I could. I'd deduct one full star for the price tag, and one-half star for the fidget magnet getting stuck.1/26/23 Edit: I forgot to mention in my original review, but as you can see in the attached video - IT SPINS!
