The zoning officer in Franklin Lakes was inspecting a new house across our lake, and noticed a tarp I had drying in the woods. He came over to inspect the tarp, and noticed that the shed over my biofilters for our koi pond was 18 inches over the side lot setback line.

18 inches?! Give me a break, darn it.

The officer gave me a cease and desist order instead. 30 days to get that shed trimmed back.

I work with a fellow named Teodoro, and we had overbuilt that shed two years earlier; Ted likes to make everything perfect. He can do almost anything, and he knows his tools.

We needed to take off the 32 inches of material, and rebuild with the stuff we took off, so great care was necessary. Ted had absolute contempt with I showed up with the mid sized FatMax -- "That's a toy, Bob."

"Use it Ted", I explained.

Three hours later, our shed was in official compliance, and the door, and all lumber, insulation and molding was piled neatly and ready to be re-used.

Ted and I used nothing but this tool and a circular saw for the plywood roof.

Now Ted wants one of his own.

great tool for destruction, especially ripping out drywall. I'm not that strong so it's not too heavy to use for a couple of hours, but not too light to swing with force... mighty destroyer!

This tool is a literally a home wrecker! Combined with a cordless recipricating saw with a metal blade (I prefer metal blades because you can cut nails, wood and drywall) demo work becomes effortless. I used these two in tandem to cut out 3 porch posts, and two sections of railing in about a half hour and barely broke a sweat. The larger model may have it's place in some bags but not mine too heavy for all day use. This smaller model is only 2.5 pounds and almost feels like you don't have a tool attached to your arm when you swing it. The claw will literally split a 2x4 with one swing, you can also twist them out as well. The head on the hammer is smaller than a normal hammer and takes a little getting used to, about 3 nails for me. My only complaint is the nail removal tool could be a little better (Don't throw away your crobar). Solid quality, great design, as far as I'm concerned, the best hammer ever!
