ToolGuyd just reviewed that hammer like last week,it is made in China like most useless tools. If you cant get a nail out with a regular hammer and or Wonderbar/cats paw you are doing it wrong.
It’s not a terrible idea and I generally like tools that are good at multitasking…but the adjustable pry bar should not have a hammer head and a hammer shouldn’t have moving parts.
Here’s another one

Mower trimmer…wow. BTW, that B&D trimmer isn’t bad. Especially for the price, mine was like $100 with two batteries.
That pizza thing is terrible, it looks like it would take you as long to clean it as it would to make the pizza.

It does have its place some people that live in trailer parks are responsible for a tiny strip of grass. If your a senior floating or just suck at floating a string trimmer its not a bad option. Some people don’t even need a corded lawnmower.

I wish crafstman would just downsize their products and focus on making fewer higher quality tools.

Craftsman does come out with some funky crap, and yes I was guilty of buying into those funky tools years ago…..

As long as that sort of behavior is in the past….
LOL
You guys must have never seen or used an indexing pry bar. I’d use that claw hammer if it was made by someone other than Crapsman. There’s absolutely nothing different between that claw hammer and an indexing pry bar. The hammer part is solid with the handle, so it would work like a hammer, and the pry feature locks, so it’s not going to be flopping around while you hammer.
And while I despise Crapsman, I will say this…They don’t make the shit they sell, they just slap their name on it. Some of the hideous creations we’ve seen from them aren’t really their fault, they’re just too stupid to realize that some shit just ain’t gonna sell.

I just don’t see the point in it. I don’t think an indexing pry bar should have a hammer head, it just gets in the way. I also think that hammering will loosen up the joint over time, I imagine that Stuart said it was soo tight in-store. I think it’s a good idea in theory but once you start thinking of it, you probably just want two tools.
Maybe, maybe not. The proof is in the pudding, and since I’m not putting my hands on one I can’t say for sure how it is. However, having used hammers and indexing pry bars my whole life, I can say that combining the two isn’t a half-bad idea. Might not stand up to heavy use, but I bet tearing up and repairing loose boards on a deck, other random stuff, it’d be a great tool to use.
Maybe not a half-good idea either, but a lot better than a lot of the gimmicky shit we see…

Definitely agree, it’s one of the better gimmicky-ish tools I’ve seen.

That’s just a standard dogbone with a ratcheting housing. Probably sucks just as much as dogbones do. If you think that’s bad, get a load of the Stanley Twin-Tec…
And if you think that’s bad…my boss not only bought a couple of dogbones, he also bought two of the Twin-Tec. Try that on for size…
At a loss for words
This thread has delivered. Holy crap, I wish I saw all these sooner. Too funny. That Black and Decker contraption, the picture with the deck removed made me think “imagine how fast you get your postage stamp lawn done skateboarding on that thing while trimming!” Just think, if it’s well-received we could get a 40V Max version (“don’t worry guys, we are still supporting 40v Max. Check out this Father’s Day class-exclusive product!”). Then Makita will put out an 18×2 version, then 4 years later Milwaukee will put one out with an adjustable angle on the “mower” and tell us “we like to wait on overcrowded product categories until we can truly bring something innovative to the table for our users”.
My rule of thumb for tools for inexperienced friends is “On the fence about a gimmicky tool? Google for high end versions of it. Doesn’t exist? Probably for a reason”
Well, Stanley, you’ve done it again……….
