I’ve just seen last week three very interesting variations around the classical Atwood design of an EDC prying tool : the BugBites, the BottleBug and the Crawdaddy.

Departing from the Prybaby, each model have its own specific usage, beside the prying and the screwdriving. The BugBite, a wonderful titanium keychain tool, comes with an integrated hexabit, interchangeable at will (and need). Price is $ 50.

The Crawdaddy is a mini wrench (1/4″ to 9/16″) with the same very clever system of included hexabit screwdriver. It’s only three inches (7.62 cm) long and made in CPM 154 stainless steel. Price is $ 60.

Two O-ring hold the hexabit screwdriver in position in the handle, while a third provides tension when using the screwdriver.

The third variation of this great idea is the Bottlebug, a very streamlined bottle-opener. I think there is not a lot bottle-openers in high-end cutlery steel.

There is not much to say about these three new tools : they are rugged, they are well designed, affordable… and already sold out ! Their only default, as far as I can tell…
