Peterson makes a couple different pry bars.

The standard pry bar is 0.050" thick.

The pry bar lite is 0.040” thick.

You can check them out on the Peterson website.

I prefer the thin one, they work great. I made a few myself and i almost never use bottom of the keyway anymore. (Unless required for acess)
