The FUBAR. That came out a few years ago, and I bought it just for the novelty of it. My friends call me "the sledgehammer mechanic" because I am not....gentle. Now I just show them my FUBAR!

Interesting that in the product description, I can't find anywhere why they chose, in print, "Fubar"...is this a copy of a tool someone else invented/marketed, and as part of the agreement was "Fubar"? ??

A couple of the local volunteer fireman carry them on runs.

Too heavy for general destruction work IMHO (your wrist will die after a few hours) but for specific jobs they are kinda cool.

I have a BOHICA sledgehammer as well.

How would you know what the name of my tool is? Perhaps it is named "Preminant Dominator", or "The Determinator".

Either way, I don't think I'll be confessing very soon.

This is a very good tool as I have used one here and there, as for my personal favorite it would be WILL he is a five foot (5') long pry bar and the reason I call it WILL is.

"Will it move or will it break"

Now by chance WILL cannot get the job done I also have a nine foot (9') length of fence pipe and it is called GODS WILL

And yes I have had to use both of the from time to time ,fords for the most part (dam air filters )

We have the prybar, with one odd bend in it.

It's called the "Super Wonder Bar" according to the sticker.

Stanley tools, in general, are too heavy and cumbersome for continued use- tape measures, hammers, whatever.. they do make nice utility knives, tho, as long as you stay with the basic model and don't need to impress people with your big utility knife...

back when i used to build trusses (you know, the big wooden triangles that form the shape of the roof of a house that most people improperly call 'rafters'..), i saw a lot of new guys show up with matching Stanley "Fat Max" hammers (usually the big 28oz one) and tape measures that they bought at Wal Mart and thought were the mostest awesomest things ever. they couldn't figure out how i could swing my little 20 oz Craftman hammer (made by Vaughan/Bushnell for Sears) so much better than they could swing their mini sledgehammers for 12 hours at a time.. i can't think of a single occasion where i let a new guy try out one of my extra hammers that they didn't take their first paycheck and go buy one of their own.. sadly, Sears no longer carries that hammer, but the Vaughan 20oz fiberglass hammer is the same except for the contour of the rubber grip..

anyways, i'm sure someone makes a better version of the FUBAR that weighs half as much and has a better weight balance- like maybe Vaghan/Bushnell, who makes the best fiberglass hammers.
