all can be solved with just one tool.

That’s a different design than what we had when I was growing up:

Is the new design more useful? Because the gray one was fucking useless for anything that couldn’t easily be done with fingers.

the the back "knife" is the most used part.

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Much more useful. The space under where it connects to the brick is much bigger, giving more leverage. Also the pry tool is considerably thinner

They weren't useless at all, you just needed (and still need) two of them to work together.

A little bit, but not nearly as much as I'd like. About 60% of the time, it works every time.

They work ok, if you have one.

If you don't, there are contraptions you can build (out of legos) which can help you unstuck them
