The most perfectly named Stanley tool....

I must own this. I do very little actual work that would require it, but I must own it. It calls to me, as Mjolnir called to Thor.

When I did construction, I purchased this hammer on a whim.

I felt like I had come from the future to smash errant nails. I was like a child with a BB Gun. Holes in everything. Nails smashed whether they needed smashing or not.

I had to get rid of it though when we started sheetrocking and I was leaving square holes when I set the angel nails across the top plates.

I think my boss framed it into a wall :frowning:

I am buying one of those for my shop. My partner and I buy each other tools for Christmas. The cool thing is that they never go home to stay. I buy the tool as a “present” and get to use it whenever I want.

Between us we have all sorts of goodies that we could never justify buying for ourselves. FUBAR good. grunt grunt

If I find a hunga munga, I shall purchase or trade for it and give it to my brother.

He gave me my kukri, which I keep at the top of the stairs, and made sure I was well read with regard to zombie attacks (by keeping the zombie survival guide in the bathroom when I came to visit). Since he works for the government, I figure he knows something I don’t, so I treat anti-zombie security very seriously as a result.

With any luck he’ll weigh in and give us an opinion of the Fubar as a zombie tool.

Maybe I’m spoiled by the fire service. A Paratech bar called a Hooligan on their website lives in the back of my van. At 12#, it will move a whole lotta things. The long handle makes skootching easy. It usually elicits, “What the hell is that?” questions from customers. It just makes many jobs easier. I don’t want to work harder, just smarter. :cool:

There is an old episode of Dirty Jobs that involved demolition. The guy nicknamed Big Toot (6’ 5", 280# ?) employed Little Toot, a devilish implement that must have weighed 40 pounds and was like a Stradivarius of destruction in his hands.

[sniff]

Oh, so very nice. Hm. Suntan, how did that hammer work? I see a hinge?

Way to go Fellow Doper - any Autobarn should stock it.

Oh I definitely don’t need one of those!
Of course I’ll be buying one this weekend.

I like it. I don’t know that it would be very good for killing zombies with - I’d be worried about the corrugated surfaces on the smashy end getting it stuck - but it looks like it would be great fun to own and use.

/raises hand

If they’d stay out of my garden, I’d remain a critter-hugger.

I also have no reason to buy this tool, yet I really want one.

True, it would require a couple upgrades to reach it’s full Zombie-Slaying potential (can you slay something that’s already dead though?)

step 1, grind down the serrations on the inside of the jaws, have the inside of the jaws smooth

step 2, sharpen all pointy ends, the pick end , the lower jaw, and the end of the prybar section, this would require the use of a portable grinder tool, another guy tool :wink:

I don’t have an array of tools. I saw the same tool as I was walking through the hardware store semi-recently and got the same visceral reaction.

“I *need *this.”

My favorite category; Forcible Entry Tools. Nice, very nice. sniff

I also admire any tool that requires two men and a 100 psi to operate. I’ll be in my room…

Oh good. I’ve been looking for a new tool that I can weave my lace doilies with. The uzi worked OK, but it was difficult to make the little hearts with it.

My browser at work doesn’t have flash. (and I can’t install it)

So I’ll have to come back later.
I wonder if I can order one of these for my buddy in Iraq?

Perhaps you’re not using the right tool for the job.

Daddy wants.

OMG.

And I have a demolition project coming up…

“Honey, can I get it, if I take down the playhouse??”

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Actually, the Fubar turns out to be quite the useful tool in my service department…

it’s an answering machine;
ringringringring!!! <THWACK!>… blissful silence

it fixes bad hard drives;
click-scrape-click-scrape <POW!> hard drive is much quieter

It opens obstinate computer cases;
grumblegrumblestupidlaptopcase <CLONK!> ahh, there’s the problem…

It helps to install difficult to fit components into a tower case;
stupidfrakkindrivedoesn’tfitinthiscase <SMITE!> new drive installed!

AND it’s a great Customer Satisfaction tool!;
