County Comm Pocket Widgy - EDC Defensive Weapon

County Comm (www.countycomm.com) offers a wide variety of military surplus gear. Most of their items have versatility limited only by your imagination. The Pocket Widgy Bar, while designed primarily as a small pry bar to open boxes of ammunition, has many other uses in the civilian world. My favorite of these is as an EDC, improvised defensive weapon. Its lighweight and compact design mean it can be carried unobstrusively. The ground split at one end can be sharpened to form an edge sufficient to cut with. When deployed inside the fist, it provides an effective stabbing weapon which can be used to scratch or rake an opponent's head and face, or apply pressure and impact to bones and soft tissue. Depending on which grip you employ, as demonstrated in the video, you can apply different techniques to hurt your opponent and give you enough time to escape alive. Because of its versatility, size, and ease of use, I give the Pocket Widgy my highest possible recommendation. 10/10

"Light prying" my ass. Albeit with a whole lot of planning and another person helping me, we got a frozen car door open. Don't underestimate the power of the Pocket Widgy.

Impressive. Glad it lived up to such hard use!

[cougarten]

yeah, I love sharp edges on my keyring in my pockets

Try clipping it to a belt loop with a carabiner.

COOL! After I wash off the flesh and blood it's back to taking batteries out of small electronic devices.

dude it could have gone without saying that it could possibly be used as a weapon. now if there ever is an incident with one of these little pry bars a quick internet search for one will link to a video with weapon in the title. perhaps not a big deal in the states but in many other countries that would be enough to bugger an innocent carrier over if arrested and taken to court, especially in the uk where the laws are against us edc gear fans.

I should get a pocket widgy a pico widgy and a gray kubaton

these come with lego rc cars.. just a little sawing and sanding and they like identical

You can get a piece of scrap metal from a junk yard for a few pennies and with a little elbow grease make your own. It wouldn't be difficult to duplicate the exact same design as it's not very intricate to begin with.

for 5 bucks...... what can you buy thats better

[DeimosSaturn]

I wouldn't say it's cheap. For 5 dollars you can buy a lot of other things that might have more utility. Can it save your fingers, fingernails, flat head screw drivers, and the tips of your knives from damage? Yes, and that may redeem the value of it, but it's 35 cents worth of metal, this just happens to be high quality steel and it probably scrap from making the breacher bars like spyderco holes that's more profitable than recycling.

[DeimosSaturn]

Neither is a sharpened pencil, but it could potentially be used in that capacity if nothing else is available.
