Ever wonder how firefighters bust through interior walls so quickly to save kids hiding in the closet? Watch and learn: at Maker Faire Austin last weekend we held a competition to see who could get through three interior walls first armed with nothing but Stanley’s on-shelves-in-January FuBar III.
Our competitors: Megan Miller (of PopSci Future Girl fame) and her PopSci cohort Nick Mann.
The rules: tear through the three identical interior walls as quickly as possible with nothing but the FuBar III. Remove all studs. To stop the clock and claim victory, smash and shatter a pumpkin frozen in liquid nitrogen by Theo Gray, PopSci’s resident Mr. Wizard and author of their monthly Gray Matter column.
The victor? Watch the video to find out!

What! No studs every 16″??? Thats no interior wall! : )
See, who says you can’t have fun with just a wall and a nine-pound hammer? Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!
Yay! Thank you. That was awesome.
That looked real fun!
