Inspect the large prybar from time to time... I've seen new ones that looked kinda weak, and had a buddy slice his cheek open when his broke, 13 stitches.
Looks like a mighty fine start you got there too. Don't be afraid to go to Harbor Freight... I think there's one up on your end of town, somewhere on 161 I think... there's one 2 miles from my house too. As long as you don't get anything that will take a lotof pressure, then they seem to hold up OK... my rule with HF tools is low stress only... look at it and figure how it'll make you bleed if it breaks. Then make a judgement call. I've had nothing but good luck keeping this mindset as I walk around there getting stuff. (leather gloves for a buck... you CAN'T go wrong!)
