Has anyone ever used this tool. It is a demolition tool. Like a sledge hammer, a wrecker bar and you can grab 2x’s to rip them out. They run about $90 is it worth it?
I know that they make a shorter version of it that is a lot better price. What will you be using it for?
My dad bought one to tear down an old building once. They actually were really handy and much better than a hammer and a crow bar.

Mostly demo work. Yeah they sell the short one at Home Depot and Lowe’s for about $30 but I think the bigger one would be much better.
Yeah you will.get a lot more leverage for ripping 2x4s.
Did you buy this tool?
You need to let us know how it is if you buy it!
Not yet probably when I get my house and start taking down walls.. I will definitely leet you know how it is. I saw that Crescent came out with some nise wrecker bars.
Just looked them up and they look good.
The Crescent bars are nice looking. Haven’t ever used one though.
They have them at Menards here in Kenosha. The price is’nt bad the most expensive one was like $35 and they have a few different styles but they are shorter than the fubar.
Buy it! haha
Can one of you guys post a picture because I recognise the description but it may be called by another name over here? 🙂
Here you go Wayne:

I think it was actually designed with Fire/Rescue in mind. Hence the hydrant wrench incorporated into the jaw.
They only go up to 18″ over here another great tool we can’t buy 🙁
Yes Conductor, and it doubles as a gas shut off. Have you seen channel lock’s fire rescue pliers?

I have. I just wish I needed them.
Yeah they are pretty cool.
I know a fire chief and he has shown me some cool tools they have and their trucks have every kind of thing you need!
yes they do!
Been looking and can’t find a supplier who sells one of these with delivery to the U.K 🙁
They are all over the place over here.
It’s a slap because I could really use one right now on the demo part of a very large job to save a building built in 1808 that has been abandoned for 30 years and partly burned. It is in a right state and needs just about everything and will take some saving.
full of rats and pidgeons LOL 🙂
Sounds like fun!!
LOL sounds like target practice 🙂
Yes haha 🙂
I would how well the tool would go about taking out a little furry creature!
760 mm fubar? i “lost” my fubar and it wasn’t 760 mm, didn’t cry tho… just.
if you are grumpy enough and it MUST BE DONE the shorter one can take 30 metres of gutter of a 2.4 metre high fascia in about half an hour. We dont have the big ones in Oz yet i’m very jealous. no damn xr radio yet either, 240v mains a blessing and a curse.
LOL Fubar throwing could be a sport 🙂

The Fubar III (the big one) is available in Germany. Stanley does not carry model in Holland either, but I got it from eBay from Germany.
I love it, but the thing really is designed with US sizes in mind. Grabbing a 2×4 over here is a no go. You can alter the teeth to make it work.
It’s the only thing I dislike. Other than that it’s a great demolition tool.
I’ve bought from this seller multiple times. Never any problems.
I’m waiting to say the Fubar in Walking Dead.
Almost makes you want to build something just to rip out apart with this bad boy.

My neighbor has been a pain in the ass lately, I’ll buy the FUBAR’s if you can assemble the demolition crew for his house!
I have the short one, want the long one but haven’t been able to spend the cash on it yet. The short one though, it’s insane. A very nice tool to have when you want to tear stuff apart, tweak boards, whatever. I love the thing.
I have the short one too. I actually use it for framing sometimes to hold studs straight.

You, me, and the fubar…three is plenty 🙂
I have the smaller version its pretty sweet,hoping to find an excuse to buy the 30″ one.
I keep the big one in my truck at all times, its a awesome tool from demo to helping pry someone out a wrecked vehicle.
i have one of these and i use it at the start of every job i do i love it! its worth the money because its so many tools in one. i have found other ways to use it other than the one’s its meant for
If nothing else it would make a great defense weapon!
