[...] When there wasn’t enough sunlight to continue working outside, we focused our attention on the back bedroom area of the house - it’s the first area we need to rejuvenate so that we have a place to sleep, shower, etc. during the demo & rebuild process. Using the FUBAR that Bill sent us for my birthday (thanks, Bill!), we made quick work of the nasty dropped ceiling and most of the wood veneer paneling. I really wish we had a camera on site last night - seeing Sarah tear into a wall is pretty ridiculous! Talk about some pent-up aggression… [...]

[...] As far as we’re concerned, this change ejects Google from the “brilliant name club” — where it hob-nobbed with the likes of Stanley (”FUBAR“) and Channellock (”BigAZZ pliers“) — right into “wussed-out crowd central.” There they can commiserate with Snap-on (who passed on “Crud Thug” to go with the infinitely-less-memorable “PT280THUGA Air Removal Tool”) and Microsoft (”SQL Server” — now that’s original).

I went to New Orleans to tear out houses with flood damage, basically gutting our sheet rock, tile etc. anything but the studs. I tried about 10 different tools that were at my destructo disposal, taking on the name “destructo-dan” as my superhero alias. By a far margin, the crowbar was the best tool for tearing out whatever was in my way. I judged based on weight, agility, speed, nail work, etc. Seeing this “improved” model makes me want to buy one and go back with a vengeance. Rubber grip and sledge hammer capability, and scary teeth, these are all things I would add. Maybe they can incorporate an mp3 player that plays the office space printer beatdown song?

I use mine regularly and find it works well as a persuader and moderately well as a stud straightener. The problem as a stud straightener is the handle is too long and doesn’t give you room to tweak a stud wall with studs 16″ on center.

I’m with Mark. I bought it cause it looks evil, and it’s actually a neat tool. There’s no way that I actually NEED this tool, but it’s been darn handy to have on a couple occasions.

I bought it sheerly because it looks cool and is branded well. Turns out it’s an incredible tool too. You’ll probably still need a more delicate, smaller crowbar for things like pulling up tack strips and other dainty work where you’re concerned about not obliterating everything. But it’s awesome for ripping the begeezus out of things. Also, it’s fun to tell a non-tool savvy person who’s helping you out to bring me the scary looking tool.
