Review on πŸ”¨ Halder 3026 030 Simplex Soft Face Mallet: Superior Impact Performance and Gentle Precision by Paul Varnado

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Covered in sticky residue right out of the box.

The hammer looks great, but unfortunately the handle is covered with a sticky coating. It's possible that the finish was compromised from sitting the machine in the heat of action, but if so, that's a huge disappointment for what I expected to be a reliable everyday tool. I may have to sand the whole handle and just polish. it's me. Not what I expected from a $27 Hammer. Everything else looks fine, but "everything else" is just the head. Sigh.

Pros
  • Cast iron body with integral grip sleeve and excellent breaking strength.
Cons
  • High price
