Re: Any One Use Fubars?


I bought the Dead on annihlator also. It is a destructive tool mainly. It is nice however to have a tool in the belt that can cross back and forth from destruction to construction. If it is a day of dedicated destruction, grab a good ole wrecking bar and a sledge. But, if you are mainly in remodels when you entire day if back and forth from building, tweaking, and tearing down, stick one of these in your tool belt.

Re: Any One Use Fubars?


I'l admit it bought it because of the name, and I had extra Canadian Tire Money to spend...

I found it to be A - a lousy construction tool and B - an ok demolition tool. After using it for a few days I kept going back to my hammer. Its too heavy (when your use to a stiletto) handle is awkard and there is so much vibration it gives me tennis elbow in a matter of strikes. I tried ripping up floor boards and pine boards off walls with the grabbie part and it just busts chips off since its too shallow. The drywall axe is less effective then ripping it down with a pry bar. The wrench....ok I never used the wrench. And the chisle has limited application.

Am I just using it wrong?

I just finished helping with a kitchen demo and all we used as pry bars, cats paws, flat bars, hammers, sawzall and chainsaw.

I use whatever my workers have broke or borrowed. I just grind them for a sharp point that can be driven in between the boards and nails and hope that no one puts it through a water line.
