FerTheHandyman Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Has anyone ever used this tool. It is a demolition tool. Like a sledge hammer, a wrecker bar and you can grab 2x's to rip them out. They run about $90 is it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I know that they make a shorter version of it that is a lot better price. What will you be using it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 My dad bought one to tear down an old building once. They actually were really handy and much better than a hammer and a crow bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerTheHandyman Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I know that they make a shorter version of it that is a lot better price. What will you be using it for?Mostly demo work. Yeah they sell the short one at Home Depot and Lowe's for about $30 but I think the bigger one would be much better.

Conductor562 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I think it was actually designed with Fire/Rescue in mind. Hence the hydrant wrench incorporated into the jaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneburgess Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 They only go up to 18" over here another great tool we can't buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneburgess Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 It's a slap because I could really use one right now on the demo part of a very large job to save a building built in 1808 that has been abandoned for 30 years and partly burned. It is in a right state and needs just about everything and will take some saving.full of rats and pidgeons LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
