Love Hammer - great quality. But Lincoln sticks two 1-inch labels on the hammer shank, hanging outward. When you peel it off, the sticker adhesive will remain. Tried wiping with alcohol, heat and various other solvents but nothing could remove the glue. I ended up using some acetone. and it worked, but took some shine off the black surface. Lincoln, please use decals that the consumer can remove without damaging the hammer.
