You never know when it may come in useful...
You want multifunction? Stanley (the tool company) makes a line called "FUBAR". Crowbar meets sledgehammer. http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-FatMax-Xtreme-55-120-FuBar/dp/B000VSSG3O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1344489238&sr=8-2&keywords=Stanley+fubar
Awesome name too.
Words to get killed by.
Seriously...
"Organize before they rise" - Being prepared is one thing, but organizing some sort of zombie-fighting, apocalypse-surviving group of people are only going to make you seem like a bunch of idiots. Not to mention you'll most likely worry your life away about something that will never happen. It's better to just be prepared for any kind of natural disaster/civil uprising... that way you've pretty much got everything covered.
"They have no fear, why should you?" - Because if you aren't scared of an undead horde of flesh eating zombies that want nothing more than to tear you limb from limb and eat you alive... then you've got a serious mental disability and you probably won't last long.
"Use your head, cut off theirs." - Except that a decapitated zombie head is still dangerous if you are talking about Romero zeds or even Brooks zeds. Better to crush the skull and/or destroy the brain. And better to use something that has a better-than-arms-reach length.
"Blades don't need reloading." - True. But they do need sharpening. Better to save your blade for when you actually need to cut something and bash in their brains with something that is designed to do a lot of smashing, such as a good long framing hammer, war-hammer or a mace. These things exist and are MUCH easier to find than Brooks' mythical "Monk's Spade". Besides, it takes almost no training whatsoever to swing a hammer/mace type bludgeoning weapon.
"Ideal protection, tight clothes, short hair." - Only really works if they actually get their hands on you. For that matter, a leather jumpsuit and a helmet would serve you better. They can chew on the leather while you bash their brains in.
"Get up the staircase, then destroy it." - Seriously, this is one of the most idiotic things I've ever read. First of all, do you have any idea how incredibly hard it would be to destroy a staircase in most modern homes or apartments? Impossible. And even if you could, then you are trapped upstairs waiting to die of hunger or dehydration? Might as well lock yourself in the tool shed or jump off a bridge. The best way to get away from the unstoppable hordes of the living-dead is to KEEP MOVING. No "fortress" is ever safe, especially from Romero-type zeds because anyone in your group that dies will come back as a zed... then you are trapped inside your "fortress" with one.
"Get out of the car, get onto a bike." - This may work for a congested city area, but once out of the city, I'd much rather be in a large truck... with maybe a bike rack on top. Like I said, you're gonna want to keep moving and getting away is your best option. Unless you bike on a constant basis, You're gonna get tired as hell after a few miles, then you are gonna have to stop to catch your breath and drink lots of water. Not that great of a scenario in any kind of populated area.
"Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert." - This is the first thing he's said that's made any sense to me.
"No place is safe, only safer." - Again, this is actually good advice. As I said above, No "fortress" is 100% safe in a Romero-style zombie situation.They will eventually find you because they NEVER stop. And if someone in your group dies. They're a potential zed.
"The zombies may be gone, but the threat lives on." - True. Especially in a Romero-type zed situation. Nobody knows what causes it, but anyone who dies from then on becomes a zombie. Friend, family member or not. It never ends as far as I've ever seen.
If you want a weapon that is perfect for cracking skulls, but is still a wonderfully handy tool at the same time... pick yourself up one or two of THESE... and a box of nails. That way you have a formattable weapon and a great tool for either getting into places or boarding them up for defense if you need to. They also make a smaller one, which is easier to handle. And a longer one, which has a better reach and greater leverage. I have used all three for demolition work and I can attest to their brutality.
And if anyone ever finds a "Monk's Spade" and a Shaolin monk that will train you in it's use , let me know.
I just pulled out a tiled floor in my kitchen last night. I got lucky because they stapled down a 1/4" sheet of plywood and tiled to that as opposed to nailed/screwed down concrete board. All I had to do was get my FuBar under the plywood and all of the tiles popped easily.
The real bitch with tile removal is carrying it all out to the dumpster and the chips/shrapnel. $1 psf is a bargain for the demo price. For a project as big as yours, it's something to seriously consider paying for.
There is a sleazy furniture donation place around the corner from me. People are constantly dumping the furniture that they won't take in the dumpster behind my apartment. I bought this bad boy and go to fucking town on that shit when I'm stressed out. It will absolutely melt a coffee table.
I would suggest a FUBAR
we use the Fubar hammer from stanley in the fire co. very good for opening walls/removing walls.
Couldn't see safety glasses. If that is drywall wear some goram glasses. That shit will scratch your corneas.
Also get this. It doubles as a zombie defence weapon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000VSSG3O/ref=pd_aw_fbt_469_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DDNRB1A1PP6RT5P0Z44X
I'm getting this for my sister when she moves out because a bat just isn't good enough. Also it has some utility elsewhere.
> Get yourself a prybar (Like This but better ).
If one really felt the need for a prybar, I'd go with a proper breaching tool like any of these
At 8lbs and change though it's not something you just want to be toting around in your bag.
A sillcock key (you've seen what these are used on if you've ever got bored in a drive-thru line) might be handy too as a last resort for water /u/Practical_Citizen
Go for the 30 inch model for even more fun.
This oughta do the trick.
Fuck lock picks.
one of these or this, and a bolt cutter and you're set.
You might want to pick a heavier metal. F=MA
Try the Fu-Bar
I picked up this on sale on day. Still use the big one from this set more often than anything else, but it is fun to have.
There's so many designs, it kinda depends what you are using it for. Something like a Fatmax FuBar is nice because the lumber grabber lets you pry on the board itself instead of between the board and something else. If you are just looking for a big ass crowbar, just wrap the shaft of the dewalt you have with some grip tape.
Demoing a whole structure like that, I'd probably be using a recip saw/ circ saw to chop it up into manageable chunks instead of trying to deconstruct it board by board.
If you can't quite decide between a hammer or a crowbar you could always go with a fubar. been a depot goon for a while, and always wanted to grab it for the outbreak.
Someone mentioned making a bug out bag to me and I started an amazon wishlist just to keep track of it. At first it was MREs, water, firestarters paracord etc. Then knives. Then various machetes. Then I got on a khukri kick. Eventually I was looking at things like this monstrosity thinking it would be PERFECT for scrounging in the suburbs.
I like my Stanley FatMax Xtreme FuBar III
>If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40
Or a FUBAR deconstruction tool.
The ban hammer is ready.
Don't be afraid to dream a little bigger.
this is what i am going to use.
I prefer the FUBAR III:

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.
I'd say the huge version of the FATMAX fubar. The thing is a monster! http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-FatMax-Xtreme-55-120-FuBar/dp/B000VSSG3O
this one might not be bad, but i wish they made a longer one of these...
Stanley FatMax Xtreme 55-120 FuBar III
I have a Fubar3 it's bigger. I like to call the one you linked "son of Fubar"
THIS
Something that would be better at destroying brains. Baseball bats are too blunt force and need to crush skulls - requiring multiple hits per zombie. I want something that will pierce and destroy brains with single hits if possible.
I would start with a rock hammer because I have one on hand and it is light and compact enough that I can carry a spare if one gets stuck in a skull.
A rock pick would be on my scavenge list because it has a little more reach and can also serve extra functions: pry bar, digging, push off/hold back.
Both of those tools happen to be widely available near me. If they weren't, I'd start with claw hammers. A hardware store would probably have a FuBar, I would have Halligan tools on my scavenge list.
Any melee weapon I would add grip tape and have a backup.
I disagree with WindowShoppingMyLife, reach IS important. You're in trouble if zombies start grabbing you, so being able to kill zombies 24" before they can grab you (25" rock pick) is superior to being able to kill zombies 10" before they can grab you (12" hammer), especially if there is more than one zombie.
My ultimate recommendation is Stanley FatMax Fubar III:

Sometimes you need a little persuasion.
It's not like the State Department has been doing nothing all this time.
What I love about the Amazon listing is two actual tools that are shown in the similar items section. They're a third of the MSRP and far more practical.

how's about we all post one BIFL item that we own FUBAR is mine
Had to Google that one. That thing is a brute! I think that would be too heavy for my 140lb frame, and I'd be concerned about those spikey bits getting caught up in zombies, brush, and buildings.
Though you did remind me of the FuBar Forcible Entry Tool, I think that's my ideal zombie weapon. Heck, it even comes in an 18" version in case you think you'll get pinched in tight quarters.
There are tools specifically made for destruction. http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-FatMax-Xtreme-55-120-FuBar/dp/B000VSSG3O/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_img_c
