Pocket-Sized Crowbars

The Mini Crowbar Keychain is an Excellent Tool to Have on Hand

— August 28, 2013 — Lifestyle
This mini crowbar keychain by Innovo is much smaller than a full-sized crowbar, but it is capable of just as many tasks. The crowbar is significantly smaller than its regular-sized counterpart, but it can still be used for activities like screwing, puncturing and hanging items from. As well, its small size is much more practical for slipping into your pocket, purse or glove compartment.

This is the kind of tool that is perfect to have on hand when you're in a pinch, like when a bottle needs opening or something could just use a little pry or leverage.

Innovo has made this might miniature tool in several finishes including stainless steel, gold plated matte and glossy silver, which makes the mini crowbar keychain quite a decorative accessory as well as a functional one.
