Each piece is CNC-milled, not stamped or cast, and the result is a pry tool that weighs 1. 1 ounces and will never rust, corrode, or lose its edge.
The flat pry tip opens paint cans, pries staples, and scrapes gaskets. The bottle opener is cut into the body.
The screwdriver flat handles quick adjustments. There is no coating to wear, no handle to delaminate, no spring to fatigue.
Titanium is non-magnetic and non-sparking, making it safe around electronics and in flammable environments. Atwood's production runs are small and sell out within minutes, creating a collector market where used Prybabies often sell for more than original retail.
This is not hype — it reflects the reality that these tools are effectively indestructible. There is nothing to repair because there is nothing to break.
A single piece of aerospace-grade titanium machined to tolerances that matter. At roughly $80-120 depending on the run, the Prybaby costs less than the inferior tools it replaces indefinitely.
Made in the USA by hand, one at a time.
