A Tool For What?

I'm in the neighborhood Target store a couple of days ago, and in the "Clearance" section at the back of the store I find a stack of these interesting Stanley hand tools. The FatMax has a hammer head, a pry bar, a nail puller, and the wicked-looking open jaw for prying/twisting 2" lumber.

Looks the ticket for my next demolition project, and it's marked down from $30 to $15, so I throw it in our basket.

Later, we're pricing another item, and just to confirm the price on the FatMax, I scan the barcode on the tag and get this:

I guess they really don't expect you to do anything constructive with it.
