When you want to demolish things, you have the FatMax Xtreme Fubar. There's a reason that this tool was a recipient of the Popular Science "Best of What's New" Award. As their reviewer put it, "The Fubar's square head and tapered edge tore huge holes in the walls, and the toothed jaws wrenched studs so forcefully I swear I heard the wood cry out in pain."

 Brutality incarnate July 21, 2006

I bought this tool to help me with some tearout work I needed to do on a house I just bought. It is EXCELLENT at tearout work. My friend was working alongside me with a hammer and a prybar, and I was going at least twice as fast as him, just because this ridiculous tool was so great at destroying things.
The product description says that this tool has 4 different uses, but that's not really true. I can't imagine using it for anything but breaking stuff. If you wanted to use it as a hammer or a "board bender" or something, it seems like it might not be that great.
But if all you want to do is knock down some walls or kill some enemies, this is the way to go.
I call him BENDER May 20, 2007

This weekend marked my first foray in eight years into home improvement. Needless to say, I'm a little rusty. The project: knock out, wire and rebuild a wall, tear up carpeting and install hardwood flooring.
Job 1: remove baseboards. DO NOT USE THE FUBAR FOR THIS! Stanley has another tool well suited to the job. Their SuperWonder pry bar is perfect for removing things that you do not want to kill.
Job 2: remove fireplace. The FUBAR (hereafter referred to as Bender because I cannot stop laughing my "evil Bender from Futurama" laugh when I use this thing) chewed through the 1990 particleboard blight in record time. My wife was convinced that the mantle piece was part of the structure of the house, it was on so solid. Bender ripped it off like a paper towel. It was into the studs with four 3" wood screws and the house wept when I tore it off. I felt like a Mohel. I also made short work of the hearth by using Bender like a crowbar.
Job 3: tear our wall. As other reviewers have mentioned, this thing is really good at tearing apart walls. The whole wall came down in about 10 minutes.
Job 4: Tear out carpet. Admittedly, Bender was not very good at ripping up carpet but he did a marvelous job at ripping up nail strips and yanking staples out of the plywood that had become too gummed up with underlay to nail down.
Conclusion:
This tool will be framed after the job is done. It is a work of art.
OUTstanding Piece of technology August 23, 2006

I've seen this on the Stanley new tools site since january of this year.. waiting to get my hands on one. OUTstanding tool that fits in your hand. I use mine for pallet ripping ! AND no matter the method of assembly, this crusher does the job well. No vibrations, goes where it needs to go, the pick end loosens and the pry bar .. well, you get the idea. I do agree with the writer about the hammer head. On recieving mine, I first sanded off all the shellac, then filed a better point on the chisel, then took the disk sander with coarse grain to the hammer head to fit my needs. Some cross files to the head with a file and its a sweet little item. It's got the same weight as my framing hammer for roofing. During the day, the tool hangs smartly in my cube over a sign at the helpdesk, "All repairs handled Swiftly".
Great Tool March 18, 2007

I have two of these and use them constantly. The Fubar performs a variety of tasks quite well.
I used to keep a "baby sledge" in one of my hammer loops when doing demolition-I disliked damaging the milled face of my framing hammer to strike pry bars and such.
The Fubar works great to pound on prybars or other surfaces that would damage milled grooves on a hammer. It is also a very functional pry bar. The "wood wrench" functionality provided by the two-tiered jaws works well, but can leave visible indentations on exposed work-best for demolition and use on concealed lumber.
I disagree with other reviewer's comments on the relatively small hammer face. The Fubar isn't designed to replace a hammer for nailing. It is an all-around tool and excels at the purposes for which it was designed.
I would like to see Stanly introduce a version that is 10-16" longer and slightly heavier.
