Dead On Tools AN14 Annihilator Wrecking Bar Silver metallic, 14-Inch

When I first opened the box from Amazon, the package I received looked way more like a spice rack than a pry bar. Because it WAS a spice rack, mis-labeled. I really have to wonder how that mistake got made in the warehouse. :D A couple of short days later, complete with cross-shipping, I had the appropriate item in my hands and Amazon had one spice rack on the way back.I bought this item to replace a similarly sized, similarly weighted, but significantly less useful basic pry bar in my NET toolkit. NET is what my city calls its CitizenCorps CERT program, and it's one of the best-utilized CERT programs I've ever encountered. The primary way these things get used by us in the event of an earthquake is to pry doors open or break glass or other things that are generally needed to get people out of damaged buildings. Stuff that will get you arrested if you do it any other time than after an earthquake. ;) Also, a pry bar of this size can be used to move heavy debris just enough to wedge in a pole or other, larger lever as the first step in the slow process of extracting someone pinned under something big and generally uncomfortable.How does it work? Well, thankfully I haven't had any actual earthquakes in which to test it under real world conditions yet, and I don't fancy being arrested, so I'll have to settle for more mundane tasks like dismantling a shed and pulling the nails so the wood can be reclaimed. For those tasks, the product performs excellently and makes short work of the job.

No complaints. Literally use it for everything; breaking up frozen ice, 3-4” concrete (with a sledge), floor tile/ceramic, almost any rock turns to dust using it handheld (wear eye protection), cuts drywall, not sure what it doesn’t do…wait…THE doesn’ts; it doesn’t weigh much, it doesn’t hurt your hand or vibrate when striking, it doesn’t take much force, and it doesn’t cost much.My only semi criticism…is it is hard to find surfaces that you can use to break things on without breaking the surface itself.Get one for the car, kitchen, garage, tool box, nightstand, grandkids…just get one. 🤘💪

One of my favorite and most useful hammers. Only other hammers I love are the husky hammer with the magnet for easy one-handed nailing, and the Stanely 55-120 and 55-122 but those are far better suited for demolition. It has some weight but it helped heaps when hammering in nails, and the nail pullers, chisels are quite useful too. I haven't had a need to use the wrench. The drywall blade sucks though and I wouldn't but the hammer over Amazon. Dead on Tool may send you one with a shaky handle grip. Go to Homedepot and make sure the one you buy is solid. I lost the first one I bought from Home Depot but it was a jewel and helped me camping and at work. The one I was sent over Amazon was crappy as heck. Granted this was 4 years later from when I first bought my dead on but the quality should have remained the same. Disappointed with the company, not Amazon, but after buying the hammer from Homepepot and making sure the one I bought had a well-made grip I have not had a single problem with it but take your risk. They have a pretty good return Policy (at least when I bought it, that may change in time).Summary- Excellent as a hammer through a bit heavy- For Drywall use, sucks- Crowbar, prybar, and nail puller are excellent- Chisel, excellent plus- Wrench, haven't needed or used it yet after having one for 4 years

No images, but this tool definitely worth what you pay for the price. I got this for my boyfriend as a birthday gift, and he absolutely loves it! He already uses it a lot and he really liked how many different tools there were included in one big tool. He also said it was comfortable in his grip

I have both sizes now and I use both of them on a daily. Comfortable grip and well designed for all the things needed.

The Annihilator is a well thought out multi purpose tool to be used for prying, hammering, chipping as well as light demolition work. It even has a special "dry wall (or sheetrock) axe" to help you cut through between studs quickly.The casting is precise and it seems to be made of a good steel alloy. The Annihilator is only limited by your imagination.I only wish it were made in the USA (it's made in China), even if it cost a few bucks more.

I have purchased several of these over the years for friends and relatives. It's just a great wrecking bar. Build solid and able to be used in a number of situations. Everyone should have one.

This has got to be one of the coolest tools I have ever seen. It's extremely versatile and works exactly how described. We use a bigger version of this tool in the military and it works just the same. HIGHLY recommend for any emergency kit or around the house use.
