Our last post in the “how to remove railroad ties without really trying” series featured finding the right flat-head/square shovel for the job.  Now we’ll take a good look at prybars - one of the most necessary tools for this particular project.

Readers of this blog will note how much I fawn over Stanley’s FatMax Xtreme FuBar.  It’s for good reason: the FuBar just flat-out OWNS.  In fact, I get downright giddy when I think about how sweet it is to demo things with it.

That said, it should come as no surprise to anyone who frequents this here blog that I’m going to recommend the Stanley FatMax Xtreme FuBar III as the most perfect prybar/demobar for any and all of your demolition needs.  With a 30″ length, the FatMax Xtreme FuBar III has superior leveraging capabilities.  At 8.5 pounds, the FuBar III is light and balanced enough for swinging precision and maximum striking power.

Now, I know what you’re thinking - “Why is this FuBar III necessary when all I need is to pry up some railroad ties?  Can’t I just get an action bar that’ll do the same thing?”

My answer is simple: Yes, you can.  However, it’s worth noting that the FuBar III is extremely versatile - it’s excellent for prying, splitting, board bending and heavy striking jobs - so it goes far beyond the one or two applications of most normal action or prybars.

Trust me on this - you won’t be disappointed with the Stanley FatMax Xtreme  FuBar III!
