Summary: Fundamental Ergonomic Flaws
Comment: This is a tool I'd like to have, but refuse to buy. It's a very good persuader. It has a ton of demolition applications. We sell a lot of them at the lumber yard/hardware store I work at.
It has one huge, fundamental flaw, which I can't say I'm surprised by, considering that Stanley is pretty much a Chinese name anymore. The flaw is that this hammer was made for lefties when the construction industry is dominated by righties. How do I know this? Look at the curve in the pry bar. The teeth scrape against the inside of your right arm when you hammer with it. Sure, you could have your wrist bent so the teeth fit into your wrist, but I don't find that comfortable, as bend my wrist and elbow when I hammer.
It was also noted by someone that the hammer head isn't ground. While I have swung it, I've never tested nail driving with it, but the problems with the hammer head don't surprise me.
Basically, for the idiots now running Stanley, "they don't make 'em like they used to."

Summary: Making demolishing fun
Comment: First man discovered fire and the wheel. Then he discovered the Stanley Fubar. I've used this to tear down a shed and some outdoor structures and it has performed flawlessly. It's very durable and built in such a way it's usage is almost intuitive. Everything is angled ideally for maximum torque and ease of use. Read the other reviews for all it's features.
If you're looking to tear something up this is the tool.

Summary: Good Demo Tool
Comment: We used 2 of these to demo the plaster/lathe in a finished attic. It worked well in tight corners. Where there was more room to move, a Stanley framing hammer was just as effective. If you are "pulling" the plaster and lathe from the joists the Stanley framing hammer is an easier two handed grip, it has a longer straight handle. I think that the curved version of the fubar looks more useful than the straight version for prying, but didn't need to do much of that. I recommend the curved Fubar as general purpose demo only tool.
For this job the AO 95090 Respirator worked great, and also the DeWalt Concealer DPG82-11C (but you have to use an anti-fog coating on it no matter what the product specs say). I'd recommend strongly using these in any kind of dirty/dusty demo situation they work orders of magnitude better than the usual face mask with elastic and the standard safety glasses. The Amazon prices on these were much better than the local big hardware store.
