Weapons, part 2.

Baseball bats:  You could do worse: they've got a good hit range and are light enough for long trips on foot.  Unfortunately, they aren't designed to crush: they're meant to hit balls as far as possible.  To achieve this, most modern-day baseball bats are made of pine or aluminum, both springy materials.  Metal rings (if you can get them) will make wooden models more lethal and durable, but you'll still need to hit most zombies several times to make sure they're dead (and if you haven't got a good arm, forget single-digit swing counts).  If you use this, you should probably get used to running away.

Screwdrivers: you only have one way to attack with a screwdriver, but it's a good one.  Stabbing under the jaw or through the heart will end most fights in moments, and their smooth shafts are easy to withdraw once you've made the stab.  As a bonus, screwdrivers are amazingly useful tools: you can use a bit set and an adjustable wrench to dismantle or build just about anything.  Overall, I give it a rating of "very, very useful."

Clubs:  You can find or make them very easily, reinforce them, and even make them nice and shiny, but it'll take a lot of muscle to use one well .  A club isn't a baseball bat: baseball bats are light and springy; clubs tend to be stiff and heavy.  You can do a lot of damage with a club, and some are well-made and  but it would probably be better to find a different weapon.
