There's a chainsaw and a nail gun which, as you can imagine, easily do serious damage.

One drawback to the site, as my mom pointed out: There's a daily contest attached to the site, but each time you return to enter, you're stuck in an annoying series of flash "games" that get tired fast.

Clever, and well designed...but way overdone, imo.
