Review on KSEIBI 271420 Machinist Engineers Hammer With Soft Grip Handle - Forged Steel Cross Peen Sheet Metal Hammer, Ideal For Blacksmith Forging Tools (1.10 Lb / 500 Grams) by Donald Larson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

If you're looking for a great hammer this isn't it.

The hammer head is excellent on this hammer, the handle is why I only gave it 3 stars, after about 10 swings on soft orange hot metal the handle cracked at the very end farthest from the head (which makes no sense to me) . The hammer is still usable, but it's also loose in the handle itself, the epoxy they put on it does nothing but make it harder to re-handle.All said it was only 17 bucks and I will put a new handle on it and it'll be good for years. Just expect to have to put some work into this one.

Pros
  • Love it use it all day
Cons
  • The hammer may not be suitable for all skill levels, particularly beginners
