As EDC enthusiasts well know, what multi-tools gain in versatility, they often sacrifice in individual implement efficacy.
Still, you can’t beat the consolidation of so much functionality in a small space, and the best of them get pretty damn close to approximating the performance of solitary full-size tools.
One area where nearly all multi-tools fall quite short, however, is with the pry function.
Finally addressing that issue in a clever and compelling way? A new Kickstarter project called the Pixot X Wrench (or Pivot X for short).
The prying game
Often just a wedge extending straight out of one end or the other, ideally with a notch for nail-pulling, the typical multi-tool’s pry function is so ubiquitous, it can make us forget what a real pry bar looks like.
The big difference with an actual dedicated pry bar is that the end is angled as much as 90 degrees — and even more so in the case of an honest-to-goodness crow bar.
