Really good hammer. I do PDR, and hammers made specifically for PDR cost ridiculously, like everything else in the field. I polished the surface and it turned out great. When I won I also tried drilling and tapping the back end like a real PDR hammer but it didn't work. The metal used is very hard "as you can imagine a hammer" but even with the carbide inserts on my press I got nothing but the high quality American steel used to make this great hammer.
