I got impulsive one day and decided that I absolutely just had to pull the old nasty carpet off my basement stairs. Since this was spur of the moment I decided to use what I had on me, which included my small pry bar.

It worked well on loosening the wooden strips that held the carpet as well as some random staples that were there for...some reason.

I've found a few scenarios where I can use it, even if it's just prying something open and I don't feel like marring my pocket knife. While I don't have a specific use case for my pry bar or half my tools for that matter but it's always nice to have the bar just in case.
