Looks like an attempt at quality but it lacks. The side used to drive large staples is slightly curled. Probably due to the fact that they were made by hand without proper tools. It also says Hickory on the handle, but looks and feels worse. I'll probably swap out the handle for a fiberglass one, and while the head is off, heat the twisted end and straighten it. Not a very good buy but easy to fix if you have an acetylene torch.
