Lisle 35170 Pocket Pry Bars: 1/8 in and 3/16 in Square Shaft with Magnet

Overview

Meet the Lisle 35170 pocket pry bars—compact, purpose-built tools designed to help you tackle everyday removal tasks in tight spaces. This duo covers two common shaft sizes, both measuring 4.5 inches and featuring a handy pocket clip for quick stow-and-go use. The 1/8" version adds a magnet tucked at the top of the handle, ready to lift small metallic pieces as you work.

What they’re for

These square-shaft pry bars excel at delicate separations and precise leverage. Use them when you need to release seals, disconnect electrical connectors, free plastic clips, or lift o-rings, caps, interior trim pieces, and both metal and plastic retainers without forcing surfaces.

Designed for on-the-go tasks, the slim profile fits into pockets, tool pouches, or a drawer tray, making them handy for quick interior or exterior vehicle work and light maintenance tasks around equipment or machines.

Two sizes, one purpose

The set includes a 1/8" and a 3/16" square shaft pry bar. Both are built to reach into narrow gaps and apply controlled leverage, so you can work more efficiently without harming surrounding parts.

• 1/8" bar: magnet in the top of the handle adds a lift capability up to 1 lb, helping manage small parts
• 3/16" bar: robust square shaft for slightly larger fasteners and deeper reach

Key specs and carry-ready design

Each bar is 4.5 inches long and includes a pocket clip. The compact length supports accessibility in confined spaces, while the clip keeps the tool within easy reach on your belt or pocket.

• Two shaft sizes: 1/8" and 3/16"
• Length: 4.5 inches for compact carry
• Pocket clip included for secure transport
• Magnet-equipped 1/8" version offers light lift help

Real-world scenarios

In daily use, you might swing the pry bars into a dashboard seam to loosen a clip, release a soft plastic tab behind a console, or pry gently around a housing to expose a connector. The magnetized option helps you retrieve a dropped fastener in a tight nook, reducing the need to pause and search.

Usage tips

• Apply deliberate, steady pressure to avoid marring finishes.
• Keep the tool aligned with the component you’re prying to maximize control.
• Store in a pocket or pouch so it’s ready when you need it.

Summary

The Lisle 35170 pocket pry bars combine compact size, two practical shaft sizes, and a handy pocket clip. The magnet-equipped option on the 1/8" version adds a flexible lift capability, expanding the ways you can approach fastener and clip tasks. Use them as part of your toolkit for careful, guided prying in dashboards, trims, and assemblies where space is at a premium.
