Right now he's breaking rocks at a maximum security jail, looking at the massive hammer in his hands and thinking 'why on earth didn't I think of using one of these?'.

Something about that doesn't sound quite right. Although I'm sure they would have appreciated a heavy duty door opening tool too!

It's on a chain that's long enough to reach within arms length of the doors, just to annoy people
Just had a thought. One could use a tri-fold shovel as a buckler (small shield) and a one of those axe/prybar hybrids as a weapon and go all medieval/viking on unsuspecting neighbours... now where is that axe wielding emoticon ?

In our kitchen they broke through the outer wall to add an extension... as you can see, the wall is roughly 4 spirits thick (bricks, insulation and another layer of bricks).We take "My home is my castle" pretty litteral P.S.: we rate our doors in "how many minutes they can withstand assault with power tools"
I live in the wrong country...
