Review on Seymour 300 19-14 Inch Ripping Hammer for Enhanced SEO by Christopher Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It was possible to buy a new hammer cheaper

but for me personally it would not have been worth it. This thing cost more than the Stalwart 16 ounce claw hammer sold by Revain for 5.45. I paid 5.74 for the pen. Then why pay more? For some, it's the quality of their hammer, better than a stalwart, and for others, like me, it's non-monetary value. When I first moved on my own, my father gave me his old, inexpensive hammer as a housewarming gift. I've loaned it to my mom and friends over the years and rarely used it. After 22 years, the handle, the upper part that held the head, fell into pieces. I was about to buy a new stalwart and be done with it. Instead I decided to restore it as best I can, never done anything like this before, and please give my nephew a photo. I removed all the rust, buffed just enough not to remove too much material and painted it black in several coats, then used a clear coat except for the ends of the hammer. He's getting it for Christmas 2018. The handle feels good in the right hand and it comes with everything you need to install it properly (wooden and metal wedges). The wood feels nicer than old wood and is longer which I personally prefer for leverage. I give one star for coverage, I don't care. It takes extra work to remove and I find flaxseed oil works best. Beware the irony of life, you need a hammer to attach this handle to a hammer. LAUGH OUT LOUD
