Review on πŸ”ͺ Premium 18 Inch Straight Hickory Dead DO24 by Timothy Weems

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great hammer. The milled face lasts a long time.

I have owned this model of hammer for over 10 years. and now the handle is shaking. I added a key and screw but now it's time for a new one. The milling edge at this point is slightly smoothed. This is a great hammer compared to other frames. I've had about 15 different brands of frames and still use this one. My other hammers work just as well, but the milled surface on others always flattens out and I scrape the milled surface and use them as finishing hammers. I used to take handmade frames because of the warranty but that seems to be going away now so I'm buying another one of these. A note to the guys at your seat shops, maybe buy their tape measure because of the warranty. I bought 2 cassettes 20 years ago and when they run out I just go to the store and exchange them for a new one. I know there are better cartridges out there, but finding a new one is easy.

Pros
  • S-7 tool steel head
Cons
  • Available in black only
