Chonk - Solid State Pry Multi-Tool, 6-in-1, Micarta [31-004143]

Ex-firefighter and current teacher here. Prior to teaching, I always carried a multitool on me, but carrying something with a blade into a school is frowned upon. So I purchased this from a brand I trust. It’s a great size, but like a tank, and has come in handy in more situations than I expected. The side of the pry tip is sharp enough to open taped boxes. The finish is unique and durable. My only complaint is that the pry tip does curve away from the the pocket clip, which sticks out just enough to catch your pocket on things that could lead to damage to your pants. I haven’t had this happen yet, but it’s probably a matter of time. All in all, worth it for a solid tool that’s safe in places you can’t take a knife or standard multitool. Another note: The tool is the Chonk, not the “Shard XL.” I’m not sure why it is marketed this way.

Súper práctico EDC, no estorba, muy duradero, lo he sometido a altas presiones y no ha sufrido daño alguno.

This is always in my pocket along with my knife, no more breaking knife tips

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Gerber Gear Shard XL, but it has definitely exceeded my expectations. For such a compact tool, it feels incredibly solid and well-built—exactly what you want in something that lives on your keychain every day. The 6-in-1 functionality is actually useful, not gimmicky. The pry bar and flathead get used the most, and they’ve held up without bending. The bottle opener works perfectly, and the overall shape makes it easy to grip without slipping. It’s lightweight enough that I don’t notice it in my pocket, but sturdy enough that it feels like real gear, not a novelty. What I appreciate most is the simplicity—no moving parts to break, no bulk, just a tough little tool that handles quick tasks without needing to dig for a full-size multitool. If you want something minimal, durable, and genuinely handy for daily carry, this is a great pick. Gerber nailed the design. Highly recommended!
