Reddit reviews Stanley 55-099 FatMax Xtreme Fubar Functional Utility Bar

Its a fubar!

Stanley FatMax Xtreme Fubar. The name seems highly appropriate in this case.

Actually, looks like one of these, which is solid steel, so not good ^fried^taters

Wouldn't be my first choice of weapon. I'm thinking he means something like this

Yup I got the smaller version for my post collapse kit.

Just some extra comments as I go back through the photos again… I know I talk (write) a lot, but maybe somebody will appreciate some of the thought processes I've had. If you have suggestions for me, let me know, too!

Eventually I will have a full-size spare, which means I'll have to give up that foam shelf and either tuck more things around in little spaces or get another bag so stuff isn't just rolling around loose.

Why a charger for radios but no actual radios? I usually only take those when my wife and I go camping/hiking. This just ensures I always have a way to recharge them. Eventually, though, I do want to have another identical radio to leave in the car. I have Uniden GMR5089, which lets my wife and I talk on our own private channel as well as receive NOAA weather stations.

Cold Steel Jungle Machete. There were several times I wished I'd had a machete, so I got one. I like this one. Wasn't too expensive, either.

Stanley 55-099 FatMax Xtreme FUBAR (cheaper at Home Depot).
I really wanted the Stanley 55-121 Forcible Entry Tool, but it's just so expensive, and my Home Depot doesn't even carry it. Also considered the Dead-on Annihilator, and I liked that it had "more tools"-in-one, but the FUBAR felt more hefty and less likely to break when I need a hammer.

Orion Road Flare Kit. Took me a while to find a place to get actual flares, not just strobe lights or chem lights. Of all places, found them at a pilot store. These double as fire starters.

What about something smaller to make fire? Well, I live just a few miles from work. And it's summer. Once I get home, if I need to grab the HURREVAC/BOB, it has a more complete fire-making kit.

HalGuard HG250R fire extinguisher. Not cheap. Hopefully it proves worth the investment, if I ever need to use it.

I'm super happy with my bungee cord solution. Up until last night, it had been a ball of cords stuffed in a bag. Then I spent some time wandering around WalMart looking for options. If you're looking for ideas, check the boating aisle: a fishing rod holder was another option I considered—a lot of people use a length of PVC pipe, and that's all the rod holder is—but it costs about $7. Also, look at the extension cord aisle for some organizers that can be as little as 96¢. I went with the middle option: $3 for a small wire kitchen shelf which I think works better with the various sizes of cords, although it is heavier.

I haven't tested the bolt cutters, yet. I'm hoping it can get through small chains and padlocks, or at least through chain-link fencing.

I know I need some food. It's on the shopping list. Still looking for a good option. Got any suggestions?

While a lot of things were already in the car, I just put together the GHB over the past week. Recently, I ended up with a dead battery and had to jump my car while I was on base. It wasn't a big deal, but it was so hot out, and the cables and cars were dirty, which, again, not a huge deal… except that I was in my service uniform and had no change of clothes. So my biggest concern is that I have something else to put on in the event I need to do some work or walk back home. Then once I had the bag in the trunk, I started putting the loose items in it.

A few more items are on the way right now. Spare batteries for my EDC flashlight (PD35), a headlamp, and a headlamp case should arrive tomorrow and will go in the GHB, too.

What else you got for me?

Edit: Not pictured is a Rand-McNally I keep in the map pocket on the back of the passenger seat. Also, I really wish I could have a weapon and ammo hidden in a lockbox in the car, but since I work on a military base, it sadly isn't an option until we get that law changed.

Stick one of these somewhere on your bike for situations like this; that thing will tear a fucking body panel off.

Or an actual wrecking bar on the top shelf will work even better: https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-55-099-FatMax-Functional-Utility/dp/B000FCGS0Y/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1492429199&sr=8-6&keywords=fubar

Stanley Fubar. It comes in several sizes.

For what it's worth, there seems to be quite a few of these tools on [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-55-099-FatMax-Functional- Utility/dp/B000FCGS0Y/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1267301427&sr=8-4) for considerably less than $300.

Great weapons, and great tools to have around. The smaller one would probably be best, lighter and shorter so you don't get tired swinging it, and can use it in close quarters.
