I have 44+ years experience as a mechanic! The hammer came in two parts. In 2014 we placed 191 orders on Amazon, in 2015 we placed 160 orders. I have never written negative reviews. NON TYPICAL WOOD hammer handle as advertised! The handle is similar in weight and density to a cork oak. I won't use it. AMAZON HAD AN AMAZING RETURN. THE PEN IS NOT MUCH HARDER THAN A #2 GRAPITE PENCIL. I was very loyal to Revane. We live in a very remote area, I would give no stars if it were possible.
