The FUBAR is indeed a tool. I think I first mentioned it here in a zombie survival thread just recently. Stanley Tools made/makes it, and it's a combo of a hammer, crowbar/jemmy, nail puller & stud grabber. They make a version that even has a fire hydrant wrench shaped into a face. I first saw it a few years back on an episode of Modern Marvels (either the one on hand tools or hardware stores) and then in an issue of Popular Mechanics/Science.

Dang, well after seeing an episode of Grand Designs following the assembling of a German prefab house in the UK and the work truck the German builders turned up in, of cause they'd have something almost exactly like what I'm after. Just one problem with it - it's not lockable. Yeah I know, it's not like a padlocks going to stop them if they want in. It's the deterrent factor. Also I’d still have to check it in as tools, heck any object with a noticeable point, our TSA-equivalents’ won't let you bring through as carry-on. I was going through screening the other day and saw a TSA give a passenger the speal over some retail packs of roofing screws and the fly before-hand a set of fine screwdrivers I had in my backpack got confiscated by 'em.
I'm tempted to do a version of those ordinance pictures weapon makers do to show just what their system can use, just with the contents of the box…..now to find enough floor space to do it in.
