New in Box Hammer problems

[rimfired]

If I had a hammer I'd hammer in the morning, I'd hammer in the evening all (commecial break)
Shoohammers are stylin!(commercial break end) -over this Land, I'd hammer for justice, I'd hammer for freedom!!!!

Well, folks, while my Stanley hammer is at the factory for polishing, cleaning, I've found that
a Model 27 5-inch S&W has just the right balance
for pounding in nails on a back deck project.

Before this, I never had any use for an N-frame.

Is a 32oz Stanley big enough for bear, or should I go larger?

We don't have bears down here so I go with a 20 Eastwing- It's a bit pricey when compared to the Stanley, but it sure does turn some heads at the range. I will tell you one thing-none of this fiberglass handles for me either-I like the one piece construction of the Eastwing. (mine is a blue handle pre lock Bangor Punta model). Don't even get me started on those wally world hickory handled 4.99 specials-why I wouldn't treust my life on one of those for a moment.

I have a hammr with handle. Can someone school me when it was made and if its gud?

Is it valuble? My cuzin saw 1 just lik it in a book worth $8000.00! that one had a stone head, and mine is steal, so it oughta be worth twicet as much. If any1 wants to trade me a Registered Magum for it, I'll think about it.

IIRC, Stanley had some QC problems in the 20 oz. line a few years ago. They will claim that you didn't use a bore guide while cleaning it and that voids their warranty.

Besides the 20 oz. was probably a little heavy in recoil for you. Try a 16 oz. next time.

I would sell it at the next Hammer Show and buy an Estwing. ...

I disaggree,while the 12 and 16 oz. Estwing are great for trim I find that while framing their metal handle transmits much more shock to the hand.Trust me, you will be much happier at the end of the day if you're swingin a Stanley or better yet a Vuaghn than you will be with an Estwing.

If you want some really nice custom length and angle hammer handles, these boys down in TN really do it right!

If price is a concern in a personal defense hammer, consider this one

Can you go wrong with a name like "Dead Blow"?

 

[sar4937]

I heard the Press was having a field day with the name "Dead Blow" and the company was changing the name to "Lawman's Choice".

I've heard you shouldn't bring a screwdriver to a hammer fight. Is it OK to bring a bottle or two of beer?

Mine's a tack driver. I'm thinking of having it engraved and making it into a barbeque piece.

I don't know, those sporting hammers are really no good for hammering anyway. Those hammers like on ARF.com, now those are worth having....
