great all rounder - Midnitemo - 4 September 2013
Whilst perusing crowbars i came across this beauty...the Stanley Fubar xl...great all roundtool / com battle hammer....thoughts guy's? there is a smaller handier one to....had thought about a repro battle hammer for fibua/defending the house but i think this may do double duty.

Nice! Great multitool. Ideal for an off the shelf accessory!

I've heard completely mixed views on this.
Was looking at the Annihilator, but saw a couple of reviews where even that bust up to bits.
Only thing I can say....get one and review it for us.

It is one cast piece of steel - it should be good. (unless its from U know where)
maybe if it is actually cast rather than forged ... That could be a weakness in the head area.. Awaiting a serious review..

I had thought about a war hammer and a longer reach weapon maybe an asagai or a mini pike something along those lines as home defence pairing ... be quite formidable against somebody trying to force a passage in an enclosed space ie hallway / stairs / landing ....i figured it the stanley fubar xl might just fit the bill as a make do warhammer.

Just did a quick web search and apparently the 55-099 model is forged, so in theory a very durable bit of kit.
Just ordered one.
Thanks for the heads up

I own a lot of Stanley tools and they are a brand I will purchase without hesitation. They do not make crap and if a review was done that showed them defective I would suspect it was done by some fool paid by the competition.
If you can find only the smaller version of the fubar, get a section of water pipe to extend its leverage.
As a weapon I would expect this to be no better or worse than any other impact weapon.
The finish on the fubar is such that it would last longer as a grave marker after someone shoots you for going after them with it or using it to break into their site.
