Any one use Fubars?
I am looking at getting one or both of the Stanley fubar's for some up coming demo work, these nasty looking bars look like they should do the job quite nicely  . Does any one here currently use these bars and if so how do you like them?

It sounds like we have another person here that enjoys destructive therapy  which is okay we all need to destroy things now and then to get out our stress.

I had picked up one at a nice 50% off Store Closing sale. That was a year ago. Tried using it a few times; Once to twist a joist straight, a couple of times in demoing a deck and that about it.
I'd SAVE the money. You most likly already have better tools than this and like someone else said, that curved handle can grap your wrist.
If you can pick one up real cheep, then why not, but I don't think it is worth the big bucks they are selling it for.

I actually put mine in the vice and cut the nail puller side off and put groves in the face. It is so much better now. I rounded of the handle part where the nail puller was. I use mine all the time

I'd rather use 40000 psi at 6gpm. why use a bullet when you can use a missile.

It looks hella cool but its pretty usless. I also bought the DeadON Annihilator which is even more usless, heavy awkard and the shock to your elbow and wrist is terrible.
Even Stanley's Crow Bar is terrible (ok i'm sure everyone is tired of me ranting on about how crap Stanley tools are).
Best Demo tool I have is a 15 dollar no name 36" prybar...its yellow and says "Terminator" on it, looks like a rip-off of an eastwing. Its has great balance, good angles, large flat prying ends. Great for ripping drywall and destroying ****. I also have a fiskar's axe which works well.
