Watching “Chicago Fire” and all those scenes involving the use of a Halligan Bar left me wanting something similar at home … a powerful, sturdy tool of decent length to pry, hammer and pound. While purchasing an actual Halligan Bar was impractical and rather expensive; purchasing the STANLEY FATMAX XTREME FUBAR III was not only a viable compromise, but a worthy investment.

FatMaxis the premium range of hand tools from Stanley, designed for demanding professionals and DIYers. FatMax tools are built to last, with features that make them more durable, powerful, and easy to use than other tools on the market.

These incredible tapes come with many of the same features as the FatMax tapes whilst also sporting some that take them to the next level in handheld measuring. With Stanley tools, you can work better, smarter, and faster. Whether you're a professional tradesperson or a DIY enthusiast, Stanley tools are the perfect choice for getting the job done right. Their superior quality will last a lifetime, and their innovative designs make them easy to use and efficient. Stanley FatMax: The Premium Range of Hand Tools

Blade standout is class leading at 4m for all models, partly due to these tapes' super-clear, 32mm wide blades. The hook at the end of the blade is still a Tru-zero, self-adjustable, three rivet, multi-directional, corrosion resistant hook but, with the FatMax Xtreme, this hook is a full 150% larger than on a conventional Stanley tape measure. To top it off, Xtreme tapes feature a high visibility yellow blade unlike that found on any other Stanley tape. This makes it ideal for those working in muddy or low-light conditions. Innovative design: FatMax tools often feature innovative designs that make them more efficient and easier to use Ergonomic handles: The handles on FatMax tools are designed to provide a comfortable grip, even when you're working for long periods of time Well , I'm good at destroying things. Feelings , hearts inanimate objects. When I saw the Fubar III I immediately knew it would aid me on my quest to destroy. And it has. Second day I had it I got to use it to destroy a fence and the fastener points on the ajoining post. This is a multi-faceted tool. A 30 inch one-piece forged steel bar that is beveled and split on one end with the other end serving as a hammer and board grabber. The shaft between the two “business” ends of this tool is squared, with defined edges that offer a solid gripping surface.

Stanley FatMax tools are available in a wide range of categories, including tape measures, levels, hammers, and screwdrivers. If you're looking for a premium range of hand tools that will last for years to come, then Stanley FatMax is the perfect choice for you. While the ends of the FUBAR III are certainly effective in both design and function, the shaft is what makes this tool work so well. Aside from somewhat squared shape of the handle, the shaft is recessed on both sides to accommodate textured rubber grips to be bolted into the tool, creating a flush surface grip rather than simply being attached on top. The grips being incorporated into the bar rather than on the bar enhance the one-piece feel to the tool. The end result is a solid, sturdy grip that is critical when using the bar. Made short work of it. It's really just a big hammer when ya look at it. I look forward to years of destruction to come with my Fatmax Xtreme Fubar IIIOne of the biggest attributes of this tool is the simple, but effective design. The almost yard-long length provided ample leverage for most any general demolition or prying purpose. Being a single-piece tool, there is no worry of heavy use deteriorating the tool and causing parts to dangerously separate (like a sledgehammer head coming off the handle). The rather even distribution of the bar’s weight makes this extremely easy to wield. The blade also comes with Stanley's patented 'BladeArmor™' coating for the first 11cm+ of the blade (the part that receives most wear and tear over the tape's life). The rest of the tape is coated with a Mylar polyester clear film that helps to prolong the life of the entire blade.
