5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding tool for Search-and-Rescue, or for the home-owner December 30, 2011

By Tom Beardmore

The Trucker's Friend (aka the Handy/Rescue Tool) came to my attention following the May 2011 tornado in Joplin. I served as a search-and-rescue volunteer following the tornado that devastated the city. Search-and-Rescue (SAR) teams are self-equipped, and need to carry appropriate supplies, gear and tools for the mission. Weight and efficiency are big considerations. The Trucker's Friend is an ideal tool because it does so much, and conserves weight by not having to carry several tools. The Trucker's Friend is a versatile, lightweight and affordable tool.

Even if you are not part of a SAR team, this is a tool that any home-owner or construction worker would appreciate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Agreed: The picture here is misleading April 4, 2012

By S. Kosloske

From the picture on this product page, it looks like the "blade" is larger than the handle. In reality, the blade is fairly small in proportion to the entire package. The firs thing I thought when I opened it was that it didn't look right, so I re-checked the page here and saw that the product was "on hold". I'm guessing for this reason???

Anyway, it's a nice destruction tool. Good weight, fiberglass handle with a heavy rubber grip. I tested it pulling nails, and there's little to no flex in the handle when pulling regular nails. You can really get it to move if you're pulling the old, heavy nails out of larger posts. But that's normal for any hammer.

The blade isn't super sharp, could use a good run over a sharpening wheel. But out of the box it can do some serious damage to walls/boards. I used it to smack up some fiber-board pieces from an old desk kit. Worked great.

Overall, a nice tool, and face it, it looks cool. I'm sure that's one reason these are popular.

But take a look at the OTHER product page on Amazon, it shows another angle of the tool and you can see the oversize much more clearly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Quality October 5, 2011

By TeamCaffee

The Truckers Friend and the exceptional quality of the product can be used for many things around the house, while camping or hiking it is not a tool to only be carried on a truck. Well worth the price.
