[@JamesKGraves]

Don't forget to tag me on Instagram with your complete pry bars!

[@johnmeany7004]

I cannot believe that such a small channel can have such good quality videos you are awesome

[@JamesKGraves]

Thank you buddy, really means a lot! I've only started learning recently, so it's amazing to hear you're enjoying the content! 😊

[@fonzyfpv7044]

I was thinking the same thing this guys should have lots of subscribers

[@mistersmith3986]

Dude! I just made one of these remembering this video from quite a while back. What I forgot to do, was give it a chisel grind. I grinded both sides. This thing looks so cruel, I think TSA will have me hauled away! Now that I'm watching this again, I will hit the garage again tomorrow and do it right. Thanks for the great content my Brother!!!

[@youderp7256]

There is a joke in the US about never being able to find a 10mm when you need it. We use them often and they always get lost. You would be an American mechanic’s favorite person!

[@mountainman971]

Right? I was thinking make one out of 10 mm if you work on metric a lot or 1/2 inch SAE if you work on old American cars a lot. That way you're never without. Those seem the two that are always missing and the two most often needed.

[@mistersmith3986]

You are a Jean knee Ous!!! I've been wanting to make a pry bar for a while now, but thought I didn't have the right steel in the garage. My pops died in August and I've inherited about 1 Billion tools. Especially wrenches.This is a phenomenal idea. I especially like the use of the box end on my key ring, which is a Nite Ize S carbinee #3 25 Lb ring. Thanx for the video My Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲

[@ChickenLips412]

Great idea. I couldn’t find a spanner, but I do have a combination box wrench that should work. Thanks.

[@joshsteuterman2363]

This in now my weekend project. Thanks!!!

[@santiagoandino1953]

Took me 2 years to find out this amazing idea. 😮

[@dimasakbar7668]

Suddenly bumped into this. This is an interesting idea. I think i can make do rough version of it with my hand tool

[@JamesKGraves]

You certainly could! Just takes a little more filing 😊

[@r7ndom]

Great video and idea! Going to sift through my spare tools boxes right now to see if I can find a good fit for my need.

[@JeffMartin2510]

Great video! This pry bar will probably last decades of everyday use.

[@JamesKGraves]

Thank you! That's the plan; I'm thinking the spanner steel should be able to take a beating 💪

[@jeffcanyafixiy]

Top notch!! I had been looking around at prybars recently. Was opening a bottle of lighter fluid with my PM2 and thought "that's not real smart". Rather than just buy a prybar make your own. Thanks for the vid, this will get me rolling on it. 👍👍🔪

[@JamesKGraves]

Haha we've all had those moments 😅 the pry bar is definitely a cheaper (and safer) option 🤣 glad you enjoyed the video buddy, look forward to hearing how you get on with it!

[@Grafficky]

best material for everything 🔥

[@gamingunion2870]

for content like That you deserve much more subscribers

[@JamesKGraves]

I appreciate you saying that! 🙏

[@rcoutdoors8176]

I love it I've got lots of wrenches of same size that I found in my house that I moved into this is the perfect idea thankyou I have an angle grinder and cutting wheels and flap discs and polishing wheels for my dremel I'm gonna make a bunch for gifts thanks again great vid I subscribed

[@JamesKGraves]

Oh man this made my day👌 I'm sure whoever you give them to will appreciate all the work you put in; nothing beats handmade 👊

[@rcoutdoors8176]

I agree handmade always beats store bought

[@davidcooper4119]

Great build mate 👌. You could also possible cut a small chunk out of the side of the shaft to to open cold beverages.

[@JamesKGraves]

Thank you pal 👌 that's a great idea, maybe it will have to happen soon 👀

[@robthompson1399]

This is a genius idea, i see the update on the bottle opener too. Maybe one alteration would be to make one from an appropriate size ring spanner, to accommodate a quarter inch double end driver bit ?

[@murraythebaker]

I hope you get the recognition you deserve

[@JamesKGraves]

Thank you pal, really appreciate you saying so!

[@murraythebaker]

James Graves I really like the fact you use tools most people have and everyday objects

[@JamesKGraves]

@@murraythebakerGreat to hear you say that, it's a bit of a challenge but I always try to use the bare minimum when making these tutorials so people can follow along without spending a small fortune on equipment; it's nice to know it's appreciated! 😀

[@iamcondescending]

if you leave it long enough it can double as a kubaton as well. Combined with martial arts training kubatons can be great self-defense tools.

[@ForemanMade]

I'm definitely going to make one of these! You've got some good stuff in your videos man, I subbed!

[@JamesKGraves]

Awesome, I look forward to seeing how it goes! Thank you pal, really appreciate the support 👌 welcome to the channel!

[@TheFlutecart]

I gotta few blown wrenches. That's a good idea.

[@robm6335]

As Smooth as Roger Moore, positively awesome video and genius idea for a pry bar, new sub here just for that, can’t wait to see what else you conjur up, thanks chap

[@JamesKGraves]

That's a hell of a compliment buddy, thank you 🙏 Hope you continue to enjoy the content!

[@robm6335]

James, np champ - just saying what I see 😎😎

[@Baehrman87]

Here i am wondering what EDC stands for? ☺️

[@mattkandel2449]

Every day carry

[@frederikmare9002]

Thanks, great idea and video! 👍👍👍

[@JamesKGraves]

Thanks so much, glad you liked it! 😊

[@deepanshushahari5069]

I would love see a college style bag of leather 🙏🙏

[@JamesKGraves]

That's an awesome idea 💡👌 been wanting to make a leather bag for a while now, hopefully I'll get round to it soon!

[@modernnumismatist5863]

What length did you use

[@wsgeo]

Great idea👍

[@JamesKGraves]

Thanks!

[@thisissparta8884]

Can't believe you used a 10. Literally the one size one always needs and can never find. Jk. Great idea mate. I will be making one for sure, and will use a 10. hahahaa

[@JamesKGraves]

Haha that’s exactly why it just had to be the 10mm 😅 thanks so much, would love to see how yours turns out!

[@cypher104]

Great video 👍 Will have to give this a go!

[@JamesKGraves]

Cheers pal! Be great to see how you get on 👌🏼

[@yellowdog762jb]

Good vid!

[@bolsteredblades1463]

Im gonna try to make one of these

[@JamesKGraves]

Awesome, looking forward to seeing what you come up with 😁

[@camronbay1]

Excellent idea.

[@ALLDAYEVERYDAYKIM]

I would love to do this

[@JamesKGraves]

Give it a shot and let me know how it goes! 😊

[@julius.2003]

Great video!!

[@JamesKGraves]

Thank you!

[@DiabloBlanquecino]

Spanner? What does it span?

[@rolandobustos58]

Very Good...

[@JamesKGraves]

Thanks!

[@RobinhoodarrowsRHA]

Now I know why my 10mm spanners keep disappearing! 🤣

[@JamesKGraves]

It wasn't me 👀

[@dlighted8861]

Thanks I wanted an e.d.c. prybar but lacked the right kind of metal. I have enough spare wrenches to open the gates of heaven.😉 And in my case that would take some doing.🤗😮🤗

[@JamesKGraves]

Haha, great to hear I could help! 😅 Honestly I make so much from old tools nowadays; the steel's just sitting there, perfectly designed and heat treated for purpose 👌😀

[@dlighted8861]

My buddy lives on Busted Tool Road, (Which he got to name,)😁and owns Busted Tool Forge. A passtime of his. He made me a knife from a Heil farriers rasp. I have the exact same rasp by pure coincidence.

[@JamesKGraves]

Oh man that's so cool 😅 nice dude, that's awesome! I've been stockpiling old files for some time now, they're just waiting to be turned into knives!

[@shehzadcaunhye9645]

Cool. thnx

[@JamesKGraves]

No worries, glad you liked it!

[@tinsoldier5621]

I would have like to see it demonstrated

[@benclark7312]

Nice high quality video did u post this on edc on Facebook

[@JamesKGraves]

Thanks buddy! Yes I did 😄

[@benclark7312]

James Graves hahaha nice man I might have to do this to a 13 mm spanner I have way to many or a 10 it’s nice that the closed spanner can still be used on nuts.

[@JamesKGraves]

Yeah man go nuts with it! (no pun intended). Exactly, I use a 10mm so I can take it off my keys and use for battery resets and what not in a pinch 😉

[@jasonudall8614]

So. That's where all the 10 mm spanners go

[@JamesKGraves]

Lol, 10mm spanners have to be bought in bulk around here 😅

[@danielt.3152]

And way cooler than paying $15 to Amazon for stuff from China

[@JamesKGraves]

Definitely!

[@TheDEXMAN11]

Noooooo not a 10mm They are the first to go missing. 🙂

[@hardyanpajero69]

👍😎🍺🍕🔧🔨

[@imbadwrench]

I wanna make one of these from a 10mm KING DICK spanner. unfortunately I'm in OHIO and with shipping I could buy a SNAP ON instead.

[@DiabloBlanquecino]

Ur going to need that 10mm when u lose all the other 10mm’s

[@joshmajor8662]

Just an FYI-you DO NOT want your pry bar tip rounded like that!! Flat and semi sharp is the way to go. Great idea tho 👍

[@BeeHiverson]

why does this young man keep calling the wrench a spanner? utterly wonky mate!

[@mechanic3371]

We’ll there’s my 10 mm
