The Stanley FatMax Xtreme Fubar Functional Utility Bar is a 4-in-1 tool for prying, splitting, board bending, and striking jobs. When you want to drive nails, you have a pneumatic gun. 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."

| Portable destruction | 2010-07-10 | 5 / 5 |

| Amazing tool! Like advertised, the FuBar is a multi-functional tool, its just all of those functions are breaking and smashing which it does very well. The FuBar is really great for college students, people without room for a garage full of tools or anyone who doesn't wanna bring everything plus the kitchen sink to a job. Made of super hard metal, its portable destruction that weighs under 4 lbs. When I bought it, I intended on using it only as a replacement for my hammer and crowbar and planned on neglecting the board breaker, but it's probably the most useful part of the FuBar! I'll be buying a second one soon to keep in my car so I can leave this one at home. |

| I don't work in construction, but I carry this thing because I work in Security and it's just a useful tool to have. My job often requires me to be an immediate problem solver and this tool is good for destroying stuff, getting into things, and rescuing people. If you need to pry, smash, pull, etc... Get this thing. |

At the end of the day, the FatMax is a tool of destruction. Without trying to be politically insensitive, it's a manly and primitive device. When I pick it up, I have to suppress a Neanderthal-esque grunt. I feel sorry for whatever I plan to use it on. I may even pause for a few moments of silence before commencing to tear it apart. Seriously. The FatMax is that good at destroying things.
The heft is amazingly well-balanced and optimized for smashing things. The hammer and claw is great for ripping things apart especially drywall, wood, and even sheet metal shelving. The pry bar is great for jamming into tighter squeezes. During our last renovation, my first job with this was to make more things fit into our dumpster by making big things into little things. I cannot express how well suited FatMax is for such tasks. In fact, I have to admit I had a little too much fun - a dangerous part of wanton destruction is the impact vibration damage to your limbs. FatMax does a good job of minimizing it for anything soft but try not to get carried away with metal and rock. A few more words of caution: wear protective gloves (especially around the fingers and knuckles if you plan to get carried away) and eye protection (things will be splattering).
On a bit of a side note, I notice that others have commented the usefulness of FatMax for zombies. As much as I love this item, I have to disagree. The FatMax is good for a strong first swing but then horrible for defending against nasty zombie bites. Or for a quick followup blow. Or a quick blow to another zombie since they do tend to congregate. It would however be incredibly useful at jamming a moving wall of spikes should you fall into such a pit trap. |
| Horrific design flaw | 2010-04-05 | 1 / 5 |

| As others have pointed out, the prybar portion of this tool is curved to the left, leaving any right-handed person injuring themselves whenever they pull the tool down toward their thigh. It will even take a chunk out of you if you're just not paying attention and lowering it to your side. This is unacceptable. DO NOT BUY THIS. Another problem is that the backside drywall blade is very dull, making it inefficient when seeking to split and rip wallboard. Although it's otherwise a well-made and balanced tool, those two design flaws prevent it from being useful for more than single-use jobs. A much better choice is to go with the Dead On 18-Inch Annihilator Bar. It comes with a brilliant spike that allows you to punch through a wall quickly and accurately to see where the wiring is. The Dead On bar looks weird, but after a day of use, you'll thank me for finding a better tool. |
