Now, thanks to Stanley, Firefighters can have their very own FUBAR.  As you know, I’ve written about the FUBAR quite a bit.  I love mine, and I’m sure Firefighters would love to have one as well.  They call it the FUBAR Forcible Entry Tooland, at 30 inches and 9 lbs, is nearly double the size of my FUBAR FatMax Extreme (18 inches and 4 lbs).  It also includes a wider pry bar mouth for shutting off gas lines, a hydrant wrench, carabiner holes to attach a shoulder strap, and Hi-visibility 3M™ Scotchlite™ strips down the side, ensuring you’ll never lose it.  Any firefighters out there have opinions on this tool?

For those wondering what the original FUBAR is, and what it can do, here’s a FUBAR commercial complete with the destruction of a shed piñata:

Useless Laws 101: Money Grubbing States

der5er on June 5th, 2008

I was just reading at Meta-Dad about California’s new cell phone driving laws (going into effect on July 1, 2008) and I’ve got to say I’m a little peeved.  This is the same bill I wrote about in September, 2006 - and I didn’t like it then.
Either the hands-free device manufacturers have a really good lobby, […]

For the Love of Tools: Finger Tight

der5er on June 2nd, 2008

This is what they mean when they say, “Finger Tight” or “Hand Tight”…isn’t it?
Well, not really.  This tool would be more of a conversation piece rather than something you would actually use–if you could buy one.  According to the designer’s website (Paul Julius Martus), it’s been around since 2000, but I do not see where […]
