Eat your heart out Tim Leatherman. THIS is the ultimate multitool! 
They're already some of the most frightening pieces of metal at the hardware store, but now Stanley's Fubar line of crowbar/hammer hybrid demolition gear has a firefighting tool that makes its predecessors seem like toys.
Even if you never have to put its flame-resistant aluminum handle to the test or use the hydrant wrench for its intended pro dousing purpose, the tempered steel Fubar Forcible Entry Tool ($150) should handle just about anything you'll run into on your next household demo job. It does, after all, involve a crowbar end, hammer-like striking face, nail-pulling slot and lumber-grabbing jaws—not bad for a day's work, especially when compared with your standard hammer-and-nail set like above. —Seth Porges |

But the leatherman has the advantage that it can be stuffed away in your pocket.
I might use that thing as a cane though. |

To me, you start swinging with that hammer head and beating stuff with it, it will have a good chance of coming apart. |

Man, I wish I had something that needed wrecking. I have GAS for a tool I don't have any use for. |
