I am waiting for HJE to get the Lang ones in. What is your mod gonna be?
The plan is to pop the handle off, trim the shank down, and reassemble to make them shorter / more pocketable because they're listed as 6 inches long.
I also plan to reduce the angle of the bent one some too, probably put it in the vice between 2 scraps of brass.
I will have one modified set to maybe carry and one stock set to go in my toolbox, in that role the length and the extreme curve may be very useful.
I saw the LANG / Matco set but the round shanks just make them seem more like bent screwdrivers to me, I'd just rather have the proper square shank like full sized handle pry bars have .
That's just me being a bit of a stickler though, and I still might eventually try a set.
BTW Lisle just introduced a set with the help of input by a few YouTube tool channels, and they seem to be the most perfected design yet.
US made is a requirement of mine so I'm not buying because I believe they're imported, but they just might be for you if you don't care where they're made.
You get one with a magnet in the handle, and one without a magnet that has a thicker shank.
One of the youtubers has even been talking with Lisle about getting the the thicker one made with a striking cap which would be cool.
