Stanley 55-099 FatMax Xtreme Fubar Functional Utility Bar |

Summary: Fundamental Ergonomic Flaws
Comments: This is a tool I'd like to have, however refuse to purchase. It's a great persuader. It has a ton of demolition applications. We sell a lot of them at the lumber yard/hardware store I work at.
It has1huge, fundamental flaw, which I can not say I am surprised by, considering that Stanley is pretty much a Chinese name anymore. The flaw is that this hammer was made for lefties when the construction industry is dominated by righties. How do I know this? Look at the curve in the pry bar. The teeth scrape against the inside of your right arm when you hammer with it. Sure, you could have your wrist bent so the teeth fit into your wrist, however I do not find that comfortable, as bend my wrist and elbow when I hammer.
It was also noted by someone that the hammer head isn't ground. While I have swung it, I have never tested nail driving with it, however the problems with the hammer head do not surprise me.
Basically, for the idiots now running Stanley, "they do not make 'em like they used to." |

Summary: Making demolishing fun
Comments: 1st man discovered fire and the wheel. Then he discovered the Stanley Fubar. I have used this to tear down a shed and some outdoor structures and it has performed flawlessly. It's durable and built in such a way it's usage is alalmost all intuitive. Ething is angled ideally for maximum torque and ease of use. Read the other reviews for all it's features.
If you are looking to tear something up this is the tool. |

Summary: great Demo Tool
Comments: We used 2 of these to demo the plaster/lathe in a finished attic. It worked well in tight corners. Where there was more room to move, a Stanley framing hammer was just as effective. If you are "pulling" the plaster and lathe from the joists the Stanley framing hammer is an easier2handed grip, it has a longer straight handle. I think that the curved version of the fubar appears more useful than the straight version for prying, however did not need to do much of that. I endorse the curved Fubar as general purpose demo only tool.
For this job the AO 95090 Respirator worked great, and also the DeWalt Concealer DPG82-11C (however you have to use an anti-fog coating on it no matter what the product specs say). I'd endorse strongly using these in any kind of dirty/dusty demo situation they work orders of magnitude better than the usual face mask with elastic and the standard safety glasses. The Amazon prices on these were much better than the local big hardware store.
