W1010 Forged Steel Straight Pein Finishing Hammer

decently made body hammer

Works good

Was really impressed with this hammer. As good as the name brand hammers I've used in the past

I wasnt sure of the quality i would be getting out of this tool so waited for it to go on sale before giving it a shot, im glad I bought it. Its a nice tool for hammering down a stitch line doing leather work. It does however come with a plastic like coating over the handle as many manufacturers apply to the handles of their tools. What I did was use a sharp knife at a 90 degree angle and scraped off that finish and used some boiled linseed oil to protect and hydrate the wood. the grain orientation was spot on being at 90 degrees and in line with the head of the hammer. Its light and well balanced and I believe I will get many years of use out of it. If you wait for a sale it makes for a great deal

I like the hammer but I'm still haven't found the perfect metalsmithing use for it. It has a tendency to leave marking on the metal. Needs dressing

Have not used it yet but the poor quality wood handle gave me splinters while taking it out of the shipping envelope.

Perfect tool for hammering copper wire into wood. A good weight, quality head, good size for my projects ,handle is a good size for my hand.

The picture is not indicative in the least of the quality present in this hammer. I purchased this based on the fact that I take negative reviews with a grain of salt, since most customers have a positive experience with most products. Not so with this hammer. As other reviewers noted; despite the stock photo, the example I received had 1) a wavy, partially concave and wholly asymmetric head that in it's current state would not remotely perform the function it was meant for. 2) the grinding present on the supposedly tempered surfaces was not done with care. Discoloring is present, thus removing the tempering on the impact surfaces. 3) There are casting imperfections that result in craters in the face of the hammer! This is at best a factory second. Realistically, it should have been melted down and recast. 4) I have seen a hammer head more competently mounted by a 6 year old. No joke, it's not mounted straight, flush, or even tightly. Wedges used protrude. I have seen better examples of a $3 hammer. I was charged 5x more for this one! The only way this hammer would be even near functional is if I took the time and put this on a lathe, finished it correctly reworking both surfaces, and tempering it myself. If you don't have access to a lathe, a forge, surfacing machines and / or don't want to spend 10 hours fixing the abortion of a hammer these guys allow to leave their factory, DON'T BUY THIS HAMMER!

Good hammer, value for money would purchase again.

Just got this in the mail and it's surprising good quality. The wood is solid and better then the wood my gearwrench hammer set. Close to snap on quality wood. The hammer head is good aswell, it's a Lil heavy but good. For $30 compared to $120 from snap or Mac this is a damn good steal!

Tiene buena calidad y está bien acabado. No deja marcas.

all good
